Album Description
Available in:
"Batman" ist das elfte Studioalbum von Prince. Es erschien am 19. Juni 1989 bei dem Label Warner Bros. Records und dient als Soundtrack zum gleichnamigen Film, in dem Tim Burton Regie führte, aber Prince nicht mitspielte. Das Album enthält neun Songs, darunter die fünf Singles "Batdance", "Partyman", "The Arms Of Orion", "Scandalous" und "The Future". Die Laufzeit des Albums beträgt 42 Minuten und 34 Sekunden.
Die Albumaufnahmen fanden zwischen Juni 1988 und März 1989 in den Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen statt. In einige der Songs fügte Prince Dialogschnipsel aus dem Film ein.
"Batman" belegte in den amerikanischen Billboard Charts sechs Wochen lang Platz eins. Es wurde in den USA ca. 3,2 Million Mal verkauft, wodurch es doppelt Platin-Status erlangte. Weltweit wurde es über sechs Million Mal verkauft, so dass es damals das zweiterfolgreichste Album von Prince nach "Purple Rain" war. In Deutschland wurde das Album 400.000 Mal verkauft und erreichte Platz drei der deutschen Album-Charts, wodurch es Gold-Status errang.
User Album Review
Having wanted to include 1999 and Baby I’m A Star in his new movie Batman, director Tim Burton asked Prince to re-record these songs or provide entirely new replacements for the soundtrack.
Following his meeting with Burton at Pinewood Studios in London, Prince wrote two replacement tracks, Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic and 200 Balloons, but recorded an entire album instead – neither of the new songs appearing on the final album. Much of the album was written during the Japan leg of the Lovesexy Tour, which he could not wait to wrap up and return to Paisley Park Studios to record. Batman is an entirely solo project, and became at the time of its release the fastest selling album in history, selling 1 million copies in its first week – eventually million in total.
Batman became Prince’s biggest success since Purple Rain, being certified double Plantinum by the RIAA, yet despite this licensing constraints with the character’s trademark dictate no songs from the Batman soundtrack can be included in other compilation releases. The album is considered to have revived Prince’s career in America due to the muted success of the previous release, Lovesexy.
