Mit eigenen Worten ... |
\"I didn\'t want to do a double album, Prince said, \"but I just kept on writing. Of course, I\'m not one for editing.\" The second half of 1999 is just exceptional sex-obsessed dance music; the first half is the best fusion of rock and funk achieved to that date, and it lays out the blueprint for Prince\'s next decade. Except for a few background hand claps and vocals, Prince plays most every instrument himself and creates a relentless, irresistible musical sequence of apocalypse (\"1999\") and the raunchy sex that he proposes as the only possible response -- \"Little Red Corvette,\" \"Let\'s Pretend We\'re Married,\" \"Delirious\" and, well, just about every other song on the album.
Total album sales: 4.2 million
Peak chart position: 9
