The single initially peaked at No. 44 on the US Billboard Hot 100 . It was subsequently re-released following the huge success of its follow-up single and 1999 's second track, " Little Red Corvette ," which peaked at No. 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100 (like other Prince songs, it again charted after his death, reaching No. 3).
The music videos for both "1999" and "Little Red Corvette" were significant as two of the first videos by a black artist to receive heavy rotation on the newly launched music video channel, MTV , after heated controversy over its failure to promote black performers. - source
