Usa el nombre artístico de Prince, pero también es conocido por otros apodos, entre ellos «The Symbol» y «El artista anteriormente conocido como Prince». Durante los años 80 fue uno de los artistas más importantes e innovadores, siempre cercano a la psicodelia y responsable de canciones inimitables como

Well, I'm only going by how we seem to feel about him now. I wouldn't know about his popularity here in the early 90s, but his success here at that time does surprise me.

Actually, in the late 80s and early 90s, Prince was more successful in the UK than he was here. At least in terms of charts. For example, Lovesexy peaked right outside the US top 10 and quickly tumbled down. But it did exceptionally well in the UK, where it went to #1 and had a string of successful singles. Only "Alphabet St." would be a hit here.

Although I think that has something to do with the fact that us Brits haven't taken to him as much as you Americans. I only know ONE Prince fan (other than myself, of course). Whenever I ask someone if they like Prince, they either say he's "I don't like him!" or they say "He's weird!"

Fair enough. I guess I underestimated his popularity.

Of course, but what artist IS shifting those numbers these days? 3121 debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 back in 2006 and quickly went Gold. Musicology, before that, went on to sell over 2 million copies in the U.S. More that solid proof that plenty of people out there are still getting their Prince on.

@hotterthanjuly - He's definitely not as popular now as he was in the early/mid 80s. You can bet that most of the albums that have been sold are from albums he did around that period. I don't think his 90s and 00s work will have sold as much as "Purple Rain", "1999" and "Sign 'O' The Times". That's what I mean by he's not "in" at the moment. Sure, people will buy his classic work, but I don't his more recent stuff attracts as many people.

I used to be aghast at the lack of scrobbles too, but please everybody, just chill and get fonkay. Most of last.fm's userbase was born post 80s. Prince still has it, he's just not as commercial as an artist as before. He was never a true mainstream artist either, he's too creative for that. Peace.

MrLJM, how do you suppose the 20+ million units Purple Rain (alone) sold worldwide account for Prince never being "in??" C'mon now...

Admittedly, I don't like all of his catalogue, but I can appreciate that he's always trying to do something different. I prefer his earlier "Purple Rain" style to his "Gett Off" and "Black Sweat" style. I prefer him in the rockier format. It's always an added bonus when he shows off his guitar skills. "Let's Go Crazy", "Purple Rain" and "I Can Never Take the Place of Your Man" are prime examples of his soloing abilities (which I'm sure you all know anyway). Of course, I realise that the man can play 23 instruments but seeing as I play guitar I always appreciate it when I hear him "letting one rip". I'm sure I've heard him play guitar on his newer stuff, but I just prefer the whole sound of his earlier work. But, at times, I do get the feeling that he tries to be controversial for the sake of it in his early albums, like in "Lady Cab Driver." But I guess perversity is in his nature, and I think that's a good thing in Prince's case.

Preach @mrljm and that makes me appreciate his art even more! I've been addicted to his sound since 1979 (when I was until) to the present. He never disappoints me. I appreciate his catalogue of music.

When I said "point", I meant to say "moment."

He has so little plays because he's not exactly "in" at the point. Well, I don't think he ever was "in". He's only "in" his own world and most people can't deal with it. His music can make you uncomfortable, joyous, sad and ecstatic all at once. I think the sway of emotions is too much for some. Or they just don't like this music, for whatever reason (which is probably more likely). I think the fact that he does whatever he hell he wants and doesn't compromise has something to do with it. Their loss, I guess.

No merging, that's just silly. The records were clearly released with different names, in different eras. Having a high playcount is a lame reason to want a merge - I think his tens of millions of album sales are enough evidence that he's loved, even if last.fm doesn't show it.

I personally tag all "Prince" songs as just "Prince" so it's easier to just listen to all his stuff on my ipod if i choose shuffle. Less cafuffle. If this wasn't the case, I'd do it all properly.

Around the World in a Day is extremely misunderstood, especially since it followed Purple Rain.
