Prince never tried to make music with commercial appeal like that.
The only album he did (Purple rain) he blew everyone out of the water and had a hit movie on top of that.
Plus prince gave a lot of his catchier songs to Morris day and the time and the rest of his artist.

He tried his hardest.
The fact you just listed classic songs and said “tried his hardest” shows ur bias
Let’s see him dance like MJ
who gives a f***, this is a music forum not a dance forum

Homeboy said every aspect he’s objectively wrong

I'm answering the question of "Did Prince try to make commercial, charting music?"
Prince wasn't no damn reclusive, underground artist. He tried to make hits. And he could pump them out like MJ.
The song Pop Life itself is a work of Pop genius.

Bro went thru his playlist just selecting songs
When Doves Cry
Kiss
Cream
Let's Go Crazy
Erotic City
etc.
He tried his hardest.
Kiss, cream, and erotic city didn’t sound like anything on the radio at the time and prince wasn’t chasing hits like MJ was.
Mj would blatantly make songs that were meant to be pop radio bait like Black and white while prince didn’t.
And let me clarify I still think mj is the goat entertainer but he is being overrated on quality.
prince had more b****es
Surprised no one has said Prince makes music for real niggas.
Here you go.
!https://youtu.be/6MzgCb-waV4 bro I’m not even gonna be disrespectful but 5:55 on this nigga looks like he teaches a hip hop dance class
Nigga dancin like Renata Bliss gtfo here he not even touchin Lil Uzi dancing wise forget Chris brown forget Michael jackson
bro.. Everyone around the world knows who Drake is. How is he not an icon?
He has broken records set by The Beatles fam.
Nah thats just wrong. In asia and Africa he isn’t that popular. Even in europe only young people know him. And even with them its not everyone.

Dude whatever Prince made at the time was what the radio sounded like.
We're really debating if Prince strove to make hits? This is confusing because all of MJ's songs always charted. Even the deep cuts.

Michael hit songs WERE GLOBAL

Lets see MJ pick up a guitar
or bass guitar or keyboards or a drum set
