<P> Speaking about her relationship with Prince in an interview with Norwegian station NRK in November 2014 O'Connor said, </P> <P> I did meet him a couple of times . We didn't get on at all . In fact, we had a punch - up...He summoned me to his house after' Nothing Compares 2 U .' I made it without him . I'd never met him . He summoned me to his house--and it's foolish to do this to an Irish woman--he said he didn't like me saying bad words in interviews . So I told him to fuck off...He got quite violent . I had to escape out of his house at five in the morning . He packed a bigger punch than mine . </P> <P> Prince released his own rendition of "Nothing Compares 2 U", with Rosie Gaines on guest vocals . This live version of the song was included on his 1993 compilation album, The Hits / The B - Sides . His version reached #62 on the R&B chart in early 1994 . Prince's original 1984 recording of the song was not released until 2018, when it was issued as a single by Warner Bros. Records in conjunction with his estate . In addition, the Prince version was given its own music video, released in conjunction with the studio recording on April 19, 2018; the video consists of edited rehearsal footage shot in the summer of 1984 . </P> <Ul> <Li> In 2007, VH1 ranked O'Connor's rendition number 10 of the "100 Greatest Songs of the 90s". </Li> <Li> In September 2010 Pitchfork Media included the song at number 37 on their Top 200 Tracks of the 90s . </Li> <Li> The song was listed at number 77 on Billboard's "Greatest Songs of All Time". </Li> <Li> TIME magazine included "Nothing Compares 2 U" in its 2011 (unranked) list of "All - TIME 100 Songs". </Li> <Li> The song was simulcasted on radio stations throughout the United States to commemorate Prince 13 days after his death . The simulcast was timed to line up with the opening lyrics of Prince's version of the song, "It's been 7 hours and 13 days, since you took your love away ." </Li> <Li> Chris Cornell posted a link to his version on the day after Prince's death . In an accompanying message, he wrote: "Prince's music is the soundtrack to the soulful and beautiful universe he created, and we have all been privileged to be part of that amazing world . I performed his song' Nothing Compares 2 U' for the first time a couple months ago . It has a timeless relevance for me and practically everyone I know . Sadly, now his own lyrics in this song could not be more relevant than at this moment, and I sing them now in reverence as I pay tribute to this unequaled artist who has given all of our lives so much inspiration and made the world so much more interesting . We will miss you Prince!!!" On Father's Day in 2018, Cornell's daughter Toni released a version of the song she recorded with her dad before his death in 2017 . </Li> </Ul>
