Yes this album COMBINED with the movie (excellent marketing move) catapulted him into the stratosphere. I saw him in 1984 with my parents for this Purple Rain Tour. It was in Detroit and the concert was sold out 7 nights in a row. Yes - 7 !!! He is irreplaceable and so missed 💜

Yes, you're right. Purple Rain moved him from a cult like artist to superstardom. I was rockin' with Prince since his first album tho'. I could tell he was a bit different from other artists way back when.

1999 had him on the radio with Little Red Corvette and 1999, but then Purple Rain had like five hits and a simultaneous movie and music videos, it was great to be alive then.

It was the 1999 album that made him popular, Lil Red Corvette was the first video by a black artist played on MTV. Purple Rain just cemented it and helped make him the most influential artist of the 80s

Neither Prince or M.J. was the first black artist/group that appeared on MTV. There were very few black artists, especially American black artist played on MTV. M.J and Prince's popularity force MTV to play more black artists on a regular rotation like their white counterparts.

Let's go crazy was the second hit on the Purple Rain album. Purple Rain, Let's Go Crazy, When Doves Cry we're his top hits from this album. It was the Purple Rain album that made him famous. Prior to that Little Red Corvette, 1999, Controversy, opened the corridor to Modern Pop to Rock fans across the United States..... Straight outta tha Hellish Northside of Minneapolis...612....

Long before Purple Rain he did stuff like Little Red Corvette, Controversy, Delirious, I Wanna Be Your Lover, Head, 1999, and he was an epic song writer for so many other people as well, then when the movie Purple Rain hit the scene he surely moved into the legendary category.

He started crossing over with the 1999 album. It was during the time of Vanity 6 and the Time. The 1999 tour was my most favorite concert!!! The movie is called Purple Rain. You'll love it! I've been a huge Prince fan since the Prince Album. He was my first celebrity crush and he remains at the top of my list. RIP to the GOAT!!! You should react to some of his other songs like Adore (my favorite), Batdance, Controversy, Scandalous, Do Me Baby, and the list goes on and on and on.

Yes, Purple Rain made him a Demigod in the Pop Realm. But his studio sessions 1986-1988 is what made people think "Is this guy even from this planet?" He was a creative "leaking pipe" according to his then manager Alan Leeds. He just couldn't believe how much music that was pouring out of him during those two specific years. And he's seen them all in the business. Sign ☮️ The Times was ranked the highest on the list of The village Voice albums of the year, by a margin no other album has ever reached on that list. And THAT speaks volumes.

This song peaked No. 1 on Billboard chart in 1984. Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 500 Songs includes 7 of Prince's songs: When Doves Cry, Little Red Corvette, 1999, Kiss, Nothings Compares to U, Purple Rain and Sign O the Times. These all hit number one on Billboard (just for your reference, Queen 2 songs, The Rolling Stones 14 songs)

This album and film introduced him to a far wider audience, it was his breakthrough You missed something out: sex appeal, he was sooo hot 😜 He actually had three films, four if you include the live. The one shown in clips here was his first. Purple Rain, it won an Oscar for best original soundtrack. The treatment of women in it is a bit ( understatement!) sus now.

Yeah it was like his first three albums was like a plane taxi down the runway he had a radio hit from the first one and then he had 2 radio hits from a second album and then he had a Radio hit and a club hit from his third album but 1999 that whole album you can play that whole record album all the way through and it was probably not no song on there that you wouldn't like that's what really put him on the map and then when Purple Rain came out to the album and the movie that's what made him just a rockstar put him into the stratosphere because before the movie no one had ever heard him talk before because he had never done any interviews before the movie so no one had ever heard his voice and that Mystique that was a that was surrounding him just really made him a superstar

No, You're right. Purple Rain IS his signature album. In fact when he tried to evolve away from it, it caused significant problems between him and WB studios. He went around with the word slave shaved into his beard for a long time. He had magnificent albums BEFORE AND after Purple Rain however; you don't want to sleep on them.Prince, Dirty Mind, Controversy, 1999, Around the World in a Day, Parade, Sign of the Times, Graffitti Bridge, The Batman soundtrack, Diamonds and Pearls.

HI Jordon, in my case I love Diamonds ans Pearls album (1991), Sign o the times 1987 (Adore live version it s amazing specially New year concert 31 december 1987. You can find it on Vimeo video platform), Gold Experience (Endorphinemachine live version in french tv I recomend to you). Purple rain live in la Coruña, Spain on Nude tour 1990) one of the best versions). Abrazo desde Spain.
