Sorry hit #1 on the Digital Songs chart due to the album release week of 25 and The Complete My Album affect. It was Sorry/Hello 5th week on sale, article link below
It'll be close. I already wrote Gary and Silvio and said at least Let's Go Crazy and Purple Rain should chart on the Hot Rock Songs Chart, not the R&B/Hip-Hop Chart. LGC & PR both charted on the Mainstream Rock Songs Chart back in 1984, and are Rock -- NOT URBAN -- classics. He has plenty of other songs that can go to the R&B/Hip-Hop Chart though, so that chart won't be abandoned. Prince released his last two albums at one time just a little over a year ago. One was Urban, and one was Rock -- so he truly attracted both formats' fans.
I was told that it had a clean and explicit version which were both in the iTunes top 10 at the same time sometimes. So it probably would've been #1 on iTunes combined at some points (but I guess that's the same as with Panda). Still quite a funny fact though.
Fergie with 3 songs in the top 10 though! The general pop girl domination, Avril Lavigne, Gwen Stefani, Rihanna, Beyonce. Even Keri Hilson at #15.
I wonder if his label will push Purple Rain as a re release
It would be cool if they did imo, but people would complain that it's insensitive for his record label to try and make more money off him straight after he's passed away.
