1999 was originally the first single to be released from Prince’s fifth album 1999, but the release listed here is the late 1998 re-release to coincide with the calendar year 1999. The single was released commercially only in the UK and Australia, while it was a promotional release in the USA and Germany. Airplay on US radios in the last weeks of 1998 enabled the single to re-enter the Billboard Hot 100 Chart at position 40 for one week on 16 January 1999, marking it’s third entry in the chart and reaching a total of 28 weeks since its release in 1982. 1999 also made its re-entry into the Billboard R&B Singles & Tracks Chart the same week at position 45. Although this could be considered a basic re-release, it receives a separate entry here due to the timing of its release and its original artwork. Track listing CD Cassette 1. 1999 (6:22) 2.

Additional Information Promotion (at time of release) Triva None directly by Prince or Warner Bros., but the arrival of the calendar year 1999 meant that the song 1999 was played heavily on radio and TV, and the lyrics were referred to regularly throughout the media world. 1999: The New Master was released in early 1999 as an independent release by Prince (credited to Prince and the Revolution). See 1999: The New Master for details. References The Vault: The Definitive Guide to the Musical World of Prince (2004)
