Featuring six massive international singles, including the hits Gett Off,Cream, and the iconic title track, the album was a worldwide smash reaching multi-platinum status in the USA and the UK, where it remains his best-selling album.

Over the past three decades, the reasons for its enormous success have been discussed extensively. Not least of these was Princes decision to finally engage with major television exposure and an extensive tour of Europe, Japan and his first trip to Australia. The album also offered a diverse collection of sounds that could appeal to a wide variety of listeners.
