Which 1990 Sinéad O'Connor song topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks?

“Nothing Compares 2 U” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks for Sinéad O’Connor.

Prince wrote the song and recorded it with his side project the Family in 1985. O’Connor’s version was released in January 1990 as the lead single from her album I Do Not Want What I Do Not Have.

Her dramatic performance and the close-up music video made the song an international breakthrough. It reached No. 1 on the U.S. Hot 100 in April 1990 and stayed there for four weeks.

Although O’Connor is strongly associated with the recording, she did not write it. The song’s authorship belongs to Prince, while O’Connor’s version became the globally famous hit and the only U.S. No. 1 recording of her career.
