The Brief:
This is post #101 of the Fun With Vinyl blog, part 3 of a 3 post celebration of my 100th blog post! This 12” was not in my record collection while I was putting together the original ‘Fun With Vinyl’ series but, I have since found an excellent copy of it at eil.com . “Pop Life” was the second single from Prince’s 1985 #1 album ‘Around The World In A Day’. It hit the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart on August 3, 1985 and went all the way up to #8 as it popped along on the chart for 13 weeks. It was the second highest debut on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart on July 27, 1985 at #46 and jumped to a height of #7 amid a 14 week chart run. Considering that no video was filmed to support this single, #7 was quite a strong showing during the height of music video and MTV’s influence. On the UK Singles Chart it went to #60 and was the last single released in the UK in support of this album.
