What, No Prince?

Today is my birthday, and someone sent me the link to a site that catalogs the #1 Song On This Date In History.

Mine? "Alone" by Heart. Oh, and the top album on that day was Whitney Houston's Whitney. Here are the lyrics to Heart's chart-topper:

I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
you don't know how long i have wanted
to touch your lips and hold you tight
You don't know how long I have waited
and I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
and my love for you is still unknown
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
Alone, alone


I am quite saddened that there isn't a Prince song in that chart position.
