Despite rendering some of Pop music history’s most memorable hits (see: ‘1999,’ ‘When Doves Cry,’ ‘Let’s Go Crazy,’ etc.), an easy standout in Prince‘s prized discography comes courtesy of 1986’s ‘Kiss.‘

The fourth of his five career Hot 100 chart-toppers, the tune – which smooched the summit of the all-genre hitlist for two weeks that year – has seen its commercial impact outweighed only by its enduring critical and cultural significance.

A mainstay on ‘Best Ever’ lists over the years, the Gold-certified smash is featured in the top 20 of Billboard’s ‘500 Greatest Pop Songs of All Time,’ the top 10 of NME’s ‘150 Greatest Singles of All Time‘, and the top 100 of Rolling Stone’s ‘500 Greatest Songs of All Time.’

In a more recent toast to the legacy of ‘Kiss,’ the latter publication rolled out yet another all-time ranking that has the legendary tune towering over the competition.
