Prince
1999
song from
▸ Alternative video Spotify
“1999” is a song by Prince, the title track from his 1982 album of the same name as the song. The song is one of Prince’s best-known, and a defining moment in his rise to superstar status.
The apocalyptic yet upbeat party anthem saw chart success in 1983 (particularly in Australia, where it peaked at #2), but it did not make it into the Top 40 in the US or the UK on the first attempt. However, upon being re-promoted after “Little Red Corvette” hit the Top 10, it peaked at #12 in the US and #25 in the UK (reaching #2 in the UK when re-released in 1985).
The album version of the song starts with a slowed-down voice, reassuring the listener “Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. I only want you to have some fun.“ Prince shares lead vocals on the track with members of his band...
