  • Ranking PMRC's 'Filthy 15': Madonna, Prince and More Get Dirty

    Tipper Gore and a group of other (socially) conservative and influential women gathered 30 years ago to organize the PMRC (or Parents Music Research Center) after listening to the travesty that was Prince's "Darling Nikki." That organization has become the face of the censorship movement in the United States, ruining good album artwork and antagonizing Eminem, Marilyn Manson, Frank Zappa and others for three decades now.

Celebrities of all stripes realize the kind of power that such a program packs so they'll readily appear as guest stars.

However that was also the smallest sales week for a no. 1 in more than two years.
