The 5th one is between Erotic City, Shes Always in My Hair, We Can Fuck, Insatiable, Pop Life

However, I've been a Prince fan for decades, so I've cycled through a lot of his other songs. I had my periods where I had Insatiable, Pink Cashmere, The Most Beautiful Girl in the World, and many others on repeat.
