It followed Bruce Springsteen’s ''The River'' and Dan Fogelberg’s ''The Innocent Age''. In their article '''Prince Scores Platinum Double''' (Vol.95 N°24 - 11 June 1983), Billboard commented that such achievement was noteworthy for a black artist because the last black starts to accomplish similar success with a double studio album were Donna Summer with ''Bad Girls'' in 1979 and Stevie Wonder with ''Songs In the Key of Life'' in 1976. Billboard also added that in the past 5 years (1979 to 1983), only two double-pocket studio albums went platinum: Fleetwood Mac’s ''Tusk'' and Pink Floyd’s ''The Wall'' (both in 1979). | |trivia = At time [[Album: 1999|1999]] went platinum, it was the third double-pocket album released in the 80’s decade to top the million sales mark.
