Cream (Single):Prince

"Cream" is a song by Prince and The New Power Generation, from the 1991 album Diamonds and Pearls.[1]  Prince states that he wrote the song while standing in front of a mirror.

The single's B-side, "Horny Pony", a rap-pop song which was replaced on Diamonds and Pearls at the last minute by "Gett Off", was re-used from the "Gett Off" single. "Cream" was also released as a maxi-single EP with remixes and songs/raps loosely based on "Cream". The EP was notable for including several prank telephone conversations.

In the UK, "Gangster Glam" was an additional B-side on the 12"/CD maxi single. In Japan, an EP was released with the tracks from the U.S. maxi single, and four tracks from the U.S. "Gett Off" maxi single. "Cream" is Prince's fifth number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 as well remains his last number one single on the Hot 100 to date. This was Prince's first, (and only) number one single that didn't have any association with a movie of any kind. The song was featured in an episode of the BBC Two comedy Rev.

[hide]  *1 Chart performance  ==Chart performance[ edit] == In the US, "Cream" hit #1 for two weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in November, 1991, keeping "Can't Stop This Thing We Started" by Bryan Adams from reaching the top spot[2]  and it also made the Top 20 in the U.K. It was very well received at American radio—peaking at #2 on the Hot 100 Airplay, this was Prince's fifth and currently last #1 hit in the U.S.-- however, it did not make the R&B singles chart, because the track was not sent to Urban radio; "Insatiable" was sent to Urban instead. ===Peak positions[ edit] === ===Year-end charts[ edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ==Single track listing<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ==Cover versions<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:17.9200000762939px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14.3999996185303px;">Scottish electronica artist pomDeter recorded a cover of the song, which was available for download on the Internet.
