Chaos and Disorder is the eighteenth studio album by American recording artist Prince. It was released on July 9, 1996 by Warner Bros. Records. The album reached number 26 in the United States[8] and number 14 in the United Kingdom, and is now out of print in America and Britain.[9] Prince refused to promote the album,[10] still engaged in his fight against his Warner Bros. contract, and the album was released simply to fulfill his contractual obligations. The single, "Dinner with Delores", was released in the United Kingdom only and despite the lowkey promotion, became a Top 40 hit, albeit a minor one by his previous standards.
