10 Songs To Listen To In Memory Of Prince

Prince Rogers Nelson died April 21, leaving the music industry and his fans devastated. Prince was a singer, songwriter, record producer, actor and innovator. He was known for his stage presence and vocal range. He leaves a legacy behind him. Here are the top ten songs to play while remembering Prince. The list has been decided based on a combination of Billboard's "Prince's 40 Biggest Billboard Hits" and the current songs chart in ITunes.

10. "Sign O' the Times"

Hitting No. 3 in 1987, "Sign O' the Times" steps away from the typical Prince song about love and lust and portrays drug addicts, gang members and the communities around them.

9. "U Got the Look"

"U Got the Look" hit No. 2 in 1987 with the assistance of Sheena Easton.

8. "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World"

The falsetto single hit No. 3 in the Top 100 in 1994.

7. "Cream"

Earning No. 1 in 1991 for two weeks, "Cream" with its naughty lyrics illustrates Prince's delivery.

6. "Batdance"

No. 1 in 1989 for one week, "Batdance" was a key song from the 1989 track of "Batman".

5. "Let's Go Crazy"

Taking on more of a rocker side, Prince's Let's Go Crazy hit No. 1 in 1984 for two weeks.

4. "Kiss"

The funk-influenced song is about the "women not girls" and spent its time at the top of the Billboard for two weeks.

3. "Little Red Corvette"

No. 6 in 1983 and currently second on the Itunes chart, "Little Red Corvette" is one that fans love to play.

2. "When Doves Cry"

No. 1 in 1984 for five weeks, "When Doves Cry" is a hit from the soundtrack Purple Rain.

1. "Purple Rain"

"Purple Rain" hit its peak year in 1984, holding the position of No. 2 on the charts. It was the title track of his film "Purple Rain". The power ballad is No. 1 in some of our hearts.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
