Who won the MTV Best Dance Video Award in 1992 for "Cream"?

Prince and The New Power Generation won the 1992 MTV Best Dance Video Award for “Cream.”

“Cream” was released as a single from Prince’s 1991 album Diamonds and Pearls. The song became one of his most successful late-career hits, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Its music video matched the track’s theatrical style, combining elaborate costumes, choreography, sensual imagery, and Prince’s distinctive visual persona.

The award recognized the performance as a music video by Prince and his backing band, The New Power Generation. Prince had formed the group in the early 1990s after reshaping his touring and recording ensemble, and the band played a major role on Diamonds and Pearls. The 1992 victory placed “Cream” alongside other dance-oriented nominees such as En Vogue’s “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It).”

Some references shorten the winner to “Prince,” but the credited answer is Prince and The New Power Generation. “Cream” was also notable as Prince’s final U.S. No. 1 single.
