What's the point in comparing with the others?    M won't be better or worse if Shakira gets more streams after a mediatic scandal in pink press.

 Hey You will be the same great thing in M's career either it's very streamed or not.

It's just a rank... you are comparing, though.

I've just realized that Prince is not tagged on Love Song from Like a Prayer album... weird lol

Prince credits on the "Like A Prayer" album are weird since day 1! He should be credited as a main artist too on "Love Song", yeah, but also as a bass/guitar player at least on "Like A Prayer" and "Act Of Contrition". Actually, the last track has his then trademark reverse sound and playing with vocals all over, so maybe he even produced it. Remember in the booklet it said "Produced by the powers that be":

He liked to be mysterious like that, so it makes sense he asked not be fully credited. I remember reading Prince also played guitar on "Keep It Together", but don't know if that's true.

"Like A Prayer" and Prince's own "Lovesexy" album (1988) are like sister and brother in sound and religious inspiration...

I've always been confused with "Spanish Eyes"

When I first bought the album when it was originally released, it was called "Pray For Spanish Eyes" in the UK at least.

I've still never figured out what the original title is or why they changed it later 🤷
