In 1992, Prince and the New Power Generation released his 12 album, bearing only an unpronounceable symbol on the cover (later copyrighted as "Love Symbol #2") as its title. The symbol was explained as being a combination of the symbols for male (♂) and female (♀). Warner Bros. wanted "7" to be the first single, but Prince fought to release "My Name Is Prince", as he believed its "hip-hoppery" would appeal to the audience that had purchased his previous album. Prince got his way, but "My Name Is Prince" reached No. 36 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 and No. 23 on the R&B chart. The follow-up single, "Sexy MF", charted at No. 66 on the Hot 100 and No. 76 on the R&B chart. "7" reached No. 7. The album, later referred to as "Love Symbol", peaked at No. 5 on the "Billboard" 200 and went on to sell 2.8 million copies worldwide.
