The Current leading efforts to simulcast Prince's 'Nothing Compares 2 U' today
Today at 5:07 p.m., it will have been seven hours and 13 days since Prince passed away.
To mark that moment, our sister station The Current will play "Nothing Compares to U" at that time ("Seven hours and 13 days" is a lyric from the song).
In fact, The Current is leading an effort to get radio stations around the country to do the same thing — and they're encouraging you to join in the tributes by sharing a Tweet, Facebook or Instagram video of yourself singing along or paying tribute in other ways. Use the #NothingCompares2U hashtag.
