Yes, you're reading that correctly. "Purple Rain" never made it to #1, but "Batdance" did. Pop chart history is goofy like that.

"When Doves Cry" is legit one of the greatest songs ever recorded. Gotta go with that one, even though the rest of these are fantastic as well (even "Batdance" in all of it's absurdity).

both Purple Rain singles are incredible, but I always slightly preferred Let's Go Crazy (the title track is my favourite of the big three, though)

None of these are my faves, but all are solid.

Kiss and Cream are better in my opinion though the other two were bigger and so overplayed on the oldie station they have on at my job.

Erotic City, How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore, If I Was Your Girlfriend, She's Always in My Hair, and 17 Days are my top 5 Prince in no order. I think If I Was Your Girlfriend is the only one of those that was a single? |

When Doves Cry is the one that feels the most enduring and remembered to me.

"Cream," "When Doves Cry," and "Batdance." Those are my favourite No.1s by the Purple One.

The only one that comes anywhere close to "When Doves Cry" of this list for me is "Kiss."
