Lovesexy by Prince
Lovesexy is an album by Prince, released in 1988. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Alphabet St.”, on 1 list with a best position of #16.
Lovesexy, Prince's tenth studio album, arrived on Paisley Park and Warner Bros. on May 10, 1988, and it's the sound of a man shelving the Black Album and running straight toward the light. He cut it in a seven-week rush between mid-December 1987 and late January 1988 at his brand-new Paisley Park Studios, playing most of it himself.
The subject is salvation with a funky wink: positivity, self-improvement, spirituality and God, preached over grooves that wriggle and pop. "Alphabet St." went top 10 around the globe, and "Glam Slam" and "I Wish U Heaven" followed it out. Critics loved it; America shrugged, stalling it at No. 11 on the Billboard 200, his first album since Controversy in 1981 to miss the top 10. Britain, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden and Switzerland all sent it to number one, and the Lovesexy Tour took the sermon on the road.
