The Time - Pandemonium

Today Mark's The 35th Anniversary The Time's 4th Studio Album "Pandemonium" Originally Released on July 10, 1990.

"Pandemonium" is the fourth studio album by American band The Time released in 1990 on Paisley Park Records.

The album is a tie-in with the film Graffiti Bridge, and several songs from the album appear in the film.

"Pandemonium" was the most collaborative album to be recorded by the Time, with all of the members of the live band contributing playing to the album for the first time.

 As with previous albums, Prince also contributed songwriting and playing to the album, but several of the songs were written collaboratively between Prince, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and Jesse Johnson.

The album peaked at #9 on the U.S. Billboard's Top Black Albums chart and at #18 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart.

The album released two hit singles, “Jerk Out” and “Chocolate”.

"Jerk Out" peaked at #1 on Billboard's U.S. R&B chart and at #9 on the U.S. Billboard's U.S. Pop Singles charts.

"Jerk Out" also peaked at #6 on the U.S. Billboard Dance Club charts.

"Chocolate" was released as the second single from Pandemonium, and was written by usual band collaborator Prince.

The song didn’t enter the US Billboard Pop Chart, but reached number 44 on the Billboard R&B Chart.

The Time broke up a few weeks after the release of this single.
