Batman (1989 Soundtrack)

The soundtrack album for the 1989 film Batman, performed and produced by Prince, was designed to leverage the media company’s contract-bound talent as well as fulfill the artist’s need for a commercial revival. The result was yet another multi-platinum successful cross-media enterprise in the vein of “Purple Rain”. The album was recorded in six weeks. Prince used three tracks recorded earlier: “Electric Chair”, “Scandalous”, and “Vicki Waiting”. Originally, the songs “1999” and “Baby I’m A Star” from earlier albums were slated to be used in the film, but Prince instead recorded an entire album’s worth of material with Batman samples and lyrics.
