User Album Review
Selling 5 million copies worldwide 1999 became the album that propelled Prince to fame, his cross-over album into a white audience, and remains today the favourite of hardcore fans. It is certified Platinum by the RIAA.

The album was written in the summer of 1982, and although Prince wrote all the songs, shown reverse lettering on the cover it is credited to his new backing band The Revolution – the first time his band had been given a name. 1999 was Prince’s first double album (the first five tracks on the first disk, with the remaining six on the second) and also is the Prince album to be pressed to CD: D.M.S.R.2 was omitted due to space constraint in early CD manufacturing technology but is reinstated in later pressings. 1999 is also Prince’s first album for which he employs the use of a drum machine. The album is universally acclaimed; Rolling Stone Magazine listing it 163rd in their top 500 albums of all time. The album originally peaked at number 30 in the US, however, climbed to the number 15 spot in the week following Prince’s death in 2016.
