DEF: Prince “Alphabet St.”

Amid his streak of reaching the Top 10 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart at least once per year every year between 1983 and 1994, Prince hit the Top 10 twice in 1988. The second of those hits, “Alphabet St.,” was the only charting single from his album Lovesexy. On this date in 1988, “Alphabet St.” climbed to a peak position of number 8, where it would spend one week. Today, “Alphabet St.” by Prince is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
