Sign O' The Times


Sign O' The Times is an album by Prince, released by Warner Bros. in 1987. It was Prince's second double album, and was seen at the time as a major critical comeback after two subpar follow-ups to the smash hit Purple Rain. It was voted as the best album of the year in The Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics poll. The album was also a commercial success, peaking at #6 on the Billboard 200. It boasted five hit singles, U Got the Look (#2), Sign O' the Times (#3), I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man (#10), Hot Thing (#63), and If I Was Your Girlfriend (#67).

In 1998 Q magazine readers voted it the 50th greatest album of all time; in 2003 the TV network VH1 placed it at number 35. In 2003, Rolling Stone named the album as #93 on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2004, Rolling Stone named the song of the same name as #299 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
