The Most Beautiful Girl in the World (Prince song)
''The Most Beautiful Girl In The World'' is the lead single from Prince's 1995 album The Gold Experience. It was his first release since changing his stage name to an unpronounceable symbol. With the consent of Prince's usual record distributor Warner Bros. Records, "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" was released by NPG Records and Edel Music and independently distributed by Bellmark Records, under the control and guidance of Chris France at Music of Life as a one-off single.
The single was released in February 1994 in the UK and remains Prince's only number-one single in the UK Singles Chart, and was shortly followed by an EP of remixes titled ''The Beautiful Experience'' that also charted at 18 in the UK chart. The version that was released on ''The Gold Experience'' is a different mix of the song.
==Development==
The original track is a slow-grooving ballad that serenades a beautiful woman, and was likely directed toward her soon to be fiancé Mayte Garcia, whom he later married on Valentine's Day, 1996. It is also claimed that Prince was inspired by actress Vanessa Marcil. The song was played during the Miss America pageant in 1994, but not in full. It was widely advertised in news and trade magazines that a new song from Prince would be premiered on the pageant. The ads had Prince sitting in a chair with a hat pulled down over his face, and Garcia standing next to his chair. The song was later released on February 24, 1994. It again later appeared on ''The Gold Experience''. The version on ''The Gold Experience'' is remixed. The drums are more crisp in the mix and there are slight instrumental changes. There are also added sound effects and instrumental breaks in the second version. The bridge is slightly more robust as well. The song is still based in light guitar, keyboards and live drums. Although most of the song is sung in falsetto with Prince reaching some extremely high notes, the bridge has him using his regular voice as well as a lower baritone range in parts.
The song was a worldwide hit and established Prince's ability to succeed commercially under his new name, peaking at No. 3 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. It was certified gold by the RIAA and sold 700,000 copies domestically. It became his first (and to date, only) UK No. 1 single under any name as a performer.〔 He did have two other UK No. 1s as a songwriter: the 1984 hit single "I Feel for You" by Chaka Khan and Sinéad O'Connor's 1990 cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U". Since 1994, the song has been his last top 5 hit on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. It was written about Malysia.
