User Album Review
Released under the name Prince and the Revolution, Purple Rain is the soundtrack to the movie and has since remained one of the most successful albums in history, selling over 14 million copies in the US and 6 million elsewhere. The album originally peaked at number 7 in the UK, however, climbed to the number 4 spot in the week following Prince’s death in 2016.

Purple Rain held the number one slot in the US album charts for 6 months and won Prince two Grammy’s and an Oscar. It is considered Prince’s masterpiece and has been certified a staggering 13 times Platinum by the RIAA. The song Darling Nikki would trigger the album to be given the first ever Parental Advisory warning, after complaints from the Parents Music Resource Center, a movement founded by Al Gore’s wife Tipper Gore – due to its ‘filthy’ content. In 2008 Purple Rain was ranked number 2 in Entertainment Weekly’s best albums ever; 18th in VH1’s best albums of all time and 2nd by Rolling Stone Magazine on their list of the best albums of the 80s.

In 2015 the album was remastered with state of the art sound to mark its 35 anniversary. Although Prince subsequently withdrew his cooperation from the project, it was released following his death, as Purple Rain Deluxe, on 23 June 2017.
