- "Purple Rain", by Prince and his backing band the Revolution, is the title track from Prince's 1984 album of the same name, which in turn is the soundtrack album for the 1984 film of the same name starring Prince.
"Purple Rain" reached number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for two weeks, being kept off the top spot by "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" by Wham!. It reached number one in Belgium and the Netherlands. It is certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Following Prince's death in 2016, "Purple Rain" re-entered the Billboard Hot 100, where it reached number four. It also re-entered the UK Singles Chart at number six, placing two spaces higher than its original peak. In France, where it originally peaked at number 12, "Purple Rain" reached number one around a week after Prince's death.
"Purple Rain" is ranked at number 18 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. During the Super Bowl XLI halftime show in 2007, for which Prince was the featured performer, "Purple Rain" was the last song of his set; the event became especially notable when actual rain fell during the performance while the stage and stadium were lit up with purple lights, and the show continues to top lists of the best Super Bowl halftime shows of all time. It was also the final song he performed live, taking place at the end of his final performance in Atlanta on April 14, 2016, one week before he died.
Prince explained the meaning of the song: "When there's blood in the sky... red and blue = purple. Purple rain pertains to the end of the world and being with the one you love and letting your faith/God guide you through the purple rain."
Prince performed the song as the opening of a medley of his hits with Beyoncé at the 2004 Grammy Awards, and also at the 2006 Brit Awards.
Q magazine placed it at number 40 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks, and Pitchfork named it the best song of the 1980s. The song is also included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
