On this day in 1984, Prince's iconic single “When Doves Cry” from his sixth studio album Purple Rain achieved platinum status, with over 2 million units sold. This milestone was reached before the RIAA adjusted its certification standards to 1 million, making it the last album to achieve platinum status with 2 million sales.

On this day in 1984, the theatrical film companion to Prince’s groundbreaking album Purple Rain was released in theaters. The film won an Academy Award for Best Original Song Score, a Grammy Award for Best Album Written for a Motion Picture, an NAACP Image Award, and was even added to the National Film Resgistry by the Library of Congress, which recognizes “aesthetically, culturally, or historically significant films.” If you’re hosting a Purple Rain watch party today, tag us and @PaisleyPark and we’ll reshare our favorites!

On this day in 1988, Prince released his tenth full-length studio album, Lovesexy, in the US, days after it was available in France and the UK. The project came about very quickly after Prince shifted focus once he’d cancelled the release of The Black Album. With the musical spotlight now on his spiritual side, Prince has referred to Lovesexy as his “gospel album,” and in an artistic statement about how he felt regarding this release, he decided that the physical CD would consist of one long track, instead of nine individual songs. “Lovesexy (was) a mind trip, like a psychedelic movie. Either you went with it and had a mind-blowing experience or you didn’t.” - Prince Lovesexy was also an historic calling card for Paisley Park, his recently opened Minneapolis studio, as this was the first full release that he’d recorded entirely at the facility.

8 years. We miss you. #Prince #Prince4Ever
