Internet Life Awards (as a response to winning the "Best Internet Only Single" award for [[One Song]]). In 2003, '''My Medallion''' was included as the fifth track on the compilation album [[Album: The_Chocolate Invasion|The Chocolate Invasion]]. Interestingly, the song was not included on this album when it was made available on the [[NPG Music Club]] in 2004 (with [[The Dance]] instead). In 2015, when [[Album: The Chocolate Invasion|The Chocolate Invasion]] was featured on Tidal, '''My Medallion''' appeared on the album as originally planned in 2003 as its fifth track ([[The Dance]] being ommitted). This configuration of the album was made available on all digital and download plateforms after [[Prince]]’s passing. |
