Best-selling albums in Australia

Hi Simone. Why did you remove specific references in List of best-selling albums in Australia? I think it will be better if we link them to the aria certification pages than combining the citations to Sidney Morning website. Also, Shania Twain's should be best-seller than Thriller, because Come on over was certified 15 platinum in 2000, while Thriller was just certified 15 platinum recently in 2009.

Canadian country chart

#1's

He has three Number One's if you can count. "Achy Breaky Heart" on the Hot Country Songs chart, Australia and New Zealand, and two other Number One's in Canada. One plus two equals three, my friend. "Achy Breaky Heart" is only counted once. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 16:21, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm lost. I'm so confused. He has not had an international single since "Could've Been Me". No other singles have charted outside of North American since then, and he has three Number One singles. "Achy Breaky Heart", "Could've Been Me", and "In the Heart of a Woman." EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 16:26, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You check the chart's site to see the charted singles. No others one's have. And also, Portugal is a bad chart. He has three #1's. This has never been a problem until now. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 16:38, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Justin Bieber discography

Thanks for your good faith edits, but the chartings listed you changed on the page for My World are actually of My World 2.0 in Portugal and New Zealand the My World 2.0 charted as a re-release of My World or My Worlds. Thanks!!! Candyo32 (talk) 21:35, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, that the IFPI is more reliable than acharts, I would that part of your edit but it was hard to do that and get the previous countries and chart positions back. & thanks for letting me know about the Canadian Albums Chart, I would have never figured that out.

George Strait discography

Joel Whitburn's book lists Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind as being the #1 country album on January 19, 1985. For some reason, the Billboard archive doesn't have a #1 album for that week. Eric444 (talk) 05:09, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Jackson Grammy Awards

I apologize; I didn't mean to remove that detail again after you had re-added it. It just got lost amidst our more-or-less simultaneous edits. I'm probably okay with keeping this detail in there. Still, we should remember that the main purpose of the lead section is to summarize the (following) article--not to so much to summarize the article's subject (since the article as a whole serves the purpose of such summarizing). But again, sorry for accidentally removing that detail again. I've put it back in there. Cosmic Latte (talk) 17:23, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Live Bell

Regarding your revert of a revert of a change (which I've reverted again!) at Pink Floyd discography which asserted that a version of "What Do You Want from Me" taken from a bootleg album called Live Bell (which has no article at Wikipedia) charted at #13 on Billboard, it's obvious that Allmusic has made an error. Most likely, the official single charted at #16 in late 1994, then went a little higher to #13 in 1995, but Allmusic has linked the latter chart entry to a review of a bootleg album by mistake, causing it to appear in their chart history page for Pink Floyd. Your edit summary said "Respect the source", but the real source is Billboard, and Allmusic is just telling us what Billboard said (just as Wikipedia does in citing other sources), and appears to have screwed up. If you have a way of accessing Billboard chart data directly, and can determine that a live bootleg track really did chart, or (more likely) confirm that #13 is the real peak position for the official single, that would be respecting the source. (If you can confirm the latter, you would probably need to add a comment explaining that even though we are using Allmusic as a reference, their data is not correct as presented.) --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 16:01, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MJ article suggestions

Hi Simone. Even though we haven't always agreed about certain aspects of the Michael Jackson article, I definitely respect and appreciate your work there, and I'd like to invite you to look over some suggestions that I've made. I've listed various little ideas at Talk:Michael Jackson#Suggested tweaks to the lead, and I've added a more general proposal at Talk:Michael Jackson#Third paragraph. Still just trying to get that lead section really nice and polished. If you have any agreements/disagreements/additions, I'd certainly be glad to hear them. Best wishes, Cosmic Latte (talk) 19:32, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Jackson

If you had this kind of source, then why isn't it placed in the article? Secondly then you have to put, "According to Guinness Book of Records, Michael Jackson is the most successful performer of all-time". Because that is an opinion not a fact, as we can't judge fame or success, only in terms of sales or money. For that reason we have to name the source because while it is a reputable source it is in fact an opinion, not fact.--PeterGriffin • Talk 22:26, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Michael Jackson Poll of the 80's discussion

Hi SJ thanks for getting back to me. Now as i think understand what you're saying so correct me if a got it wrong.

Basically you're saying that MJ has been awarded both Artist of the century and Artist of the decade accolades but on different occasions, you're thinking that someone might mix them up so you're clarifying them. The thing is the AMAs Artist of the century award is very specific as its a once in a lifetime award from AMAs organisation. You don't need to explain the differnce because i find it ends up being more confusing than offering clarity as in my case. The AMAs award for the century is self explanatory.Thecriticexpress (talk) 00:56, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Country Music

Hi. If you have something that specifically says that the Maritime Provinces were important, could you include it in the body of the article before putting it in the lead? Regarding Cyrus' contribution... One article you cited listed other people, too. Why not list them all? Because it would lead to hey lets add to the list. I've seen it before. Also, those newspapers offer a pretty short term perspective. For instance, much of Elvis' early was for the country divsion of RCA. And Garth was WAY more popular. It would be nice if you at least sought consensus from other editors on this article which has already had so much work done. Please use the talk page to see what any other editors, in addition to myself, may think about this. Steve Pastor (talk) 23:51, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While the album has been announced, it doesn't seem as though it will be released anytime in the near future.

Spanish chart

Re this. If you have this book and are sure it reached number one can you also change the position in the charts section. I'm not comfortable doing it as I cannot check if you are correct. As an aside, because it is a good article and people sometimes revert what they see as chart inflations, putting a page number or something in the edit summary would really authenticate your change more.

I reverted your edits do to your misinterpretation of what is written on the belt. A belt is only a physical representation of a championship. Whatever is written on a belt representing a championship does not necessarily indicate the literal name of the championship. For example, the World Heavyweight Championship (WWE) belt reads "WWE World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion," however the name of the championship is the World Heavyweight Championship, not the WWE World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. The same istances are seen in the former World Tag Team Championship (WWE) belt which only reads "WWE Tag Team Champion" while the name of the title remains World Tag Team Championship. So the fact that a belt may have something written on it is irrelevant when it comes to the naming of the championship it represents. However, unless you have an official reliable source indicating that WCW did infact refer to the WCW Cruiserweight Championship as the WCW World Cruiserweight Championship, then by all means change it back. --UnquestionableTruth-- 00:01, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about?--UnquestionableTruth-- 10:38, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oh yea about that. The thing is that there is just not enough evidence to support your case. As you noted, WCW was very ambiguous when it came to the naming of their titles. As for the announcers, the simple rule of thumb on Wikipedia is that announcers are bound to make mistakes and shouldn't be used as definitive sources. As for the actual name of the title in WCW, numerous third party books, such as The Death of WCW and video biographies refer to the title by the names "WCW Light Heavyweight Championship" (which was a different title in WCW lineage but considered the same title in WWE) WCW Cruiserweight Championship and WWF Cruiserweight Championship before the name WWE name change.--UnquestionableTruth-- 22:47, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No prob. Thanks for reminding me about the issue btw. --UnquestionableTruth-- 21:44, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Brown (American entertainer)

Simone Jackson, as someone who edits/looks after articles of musical artists, such as Michael Jackson, would you mind weighing in on the Talk:Chris Brown (American singer)#section 1.4 needs to be reWritten : 2008–09: Graffiti album and domestic violence case discussion? It's about whether or not Brown's domestic violence case should be divided into its own section, should go back to how it was originally combined with his career, or is placed well where it is now. More opinions would help for solid consensus. Flyer22 (talk) 17:20, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Digital singles, like promotional singles, shouldn't be listed at all, unless they charted. Mark Wills, for instance, charted a digital single with "What Hurts the Most". Therefore, its listed in his discography. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (contributions) • (let's chat) 22:47, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Top Comprehensive Albums

You are dead wrong. Comprehensive chart does not take the place for international charts. It is only to be used if an album failed to enter any Billboard chart. This is similar to the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot 100 Airplay, where the Airplay chart is only to be used if a song failed to enter a Billboard chart. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (contributions) • (let's chat) 23:32, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why you think it takes the place of international charts. I think you are just trying to add more charts to the 2000s albums section because it doesn't have any international peaks. Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong. You just need to understand that Comprehensive Albums is not a chart we use in tables, regardless of references or arguing. Just like Catalog Albums isn't used either. I don't want to argue with you, so I'm dropping out of the conversation. Good day. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (contributions) • (let's chat) 15:07, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Christian AC

Hey, that chart you are referring to on the Casting Crowns discography isn't the Hot Christian AC - Billboard cancelled that. It IS, however, a former Radio and Records chart that Billboard now tracks after they absorbed R&R.

Jackie Evancho discography

Hi! A few questions about this article.

First, Billboard info is out for her new album, Heavenly Christmas, but I have no idea how to enter it into the chart format in the article. Would you kindly look into it when you have a chance? Also some of her older albums are climbing back up the charts and have charted in other categories, like "catalogue" albums. Also, should we mention their longevity on the charts? O Holy Night and Dream With Me have been on some charts for more than 20 weeks, I think: I looked at billboard.com, but I am not sure how to interpret the historical information there very well. Also, I cited Grein at Yahoo! "Chart Watch" regarding the DVD performance. Do you have any idea where he is getting his DVD chart info for Dream With Me In Concert? Finally (sorry for all the questions), Evancho has a duet with Tony Bennett on his Duets II album, as a bonus track on the delux edition ("When you wish upon a star"). One of her songs is also included in a recent David Foster collection ("Pie Jesu"). Should those be mentioned in this discography article? All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:04, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply! For the DVD chart, can you just add whatever is customary: It's Jackie Evacho, Dream With Me in Concert. I know it was on the Billboard charts for a while, but I don't know where to get the right chart info. Thanks!. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:15, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the info, and thanks for working on the discography article. All the best! Happy editing! -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:05, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. The 27,000 figure is for week one only. How can we add the week two numbers, which show a 44% uptick? -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:00, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message. No, I saw the actual numbers: O Holy Night: 1,050,000. Dream With Me: 552,494. Heavenly Christmas 62,415. But I don't have a non-subscription source - you have to get the numbers from Nielsen SoundScan, which is where Billboard gets their data, and it is only available by subscription. -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:36, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Yes, you can see them on UKMix, but of course we can't use that as a ref. Please let me know if you can get updated numbers from Billboard Magazine. Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:00, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jackie is starting her publicity push for "Heavenly Christmas" on the talk shows next week, so it should climb up the chart the following week. Also, her "Dream With Me" album was beginning to be promoted in Japan this week, and I think it will hit the Japan top albums charts this week if it has not already done so. Would you keep an eye out for it on the Japanese charts and update her discography if you see it? All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:13, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Great job updating the table. O wonder if Jackie's O Holy Night is also charting in Japan - if it is not charting this week, it might next week with the promotions there. Also, Jackie did a concert and several talk shows in Japan in November (around Nov. 10). I wonder if "Dream With Me" actually started to chart then? How were you able to figure out the Japanese chart? Are you just familiar with the format, or do you actually read Japanese? Either way, you have great skills for contributing this info to Wikipedia! All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:35, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Heavenly Christmas jumped up to #9 on the new Canadian Albums chart at Billboard. I think I updated the table correctly? Do you have access to Billboard Magazine? I understand that the new issue reports that U.S. sales of Heavenly Christmas have topped 165,000. If so, can you update the discography with that info? All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:59, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sales of Heavenly Christmas are over 215,000 copies now. Can you find the cite for this info from Billboard magazine or elsewhere? I saw it on UK Mix. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 07:15, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for checking. It's over 267,000 copies now!  :-) Keep your eye out for "Heavenly Christmas" in the foreign charts, as it has been released by Amazon and directly in some markets now. Also, "Dream With Me" may be back on the charts in some foreign markets. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:37, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the update on DWM. I wish I could find a link to an RS with numbers for Heavenly Christmas, because it has sold over 300,000 units now. -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:32, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the sales number on Heavenly Christmas. Jackie is now in Japan and will perform concerts on January 11 and 13 and will likely do a lot of Japanese TV talk shows. Therefore, I think that the week ending January 14 will have a spike in Japanese sales of her "Dream With Me" CD and possibly also the DVD. -- Ssilvers (talk) 08:00, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I reviewed your prose and made some small corrections. Please check it to make sure that I did not misunderstand something. In a few places, I do not understand exactly what you mean:

  • "that includes also the year of recordings if the albums were released at least two years later"
  • "unless they are counted separately from the original works in the charts"
  • "the discography here reported is partial" - what is missing?
  • "supported by peak weekly chart positions" - what do you mean by "supported by"?
  • What are "bubbling under charts"?
  • Why do you mention "Mongo Santamaría's version"?
  • Head Hunters... was for a long time his best seller and the best selling Jazz album of all time. -- How long?

I did not check the refs. I hope that helps. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:59, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message. I tried to clarify your statement about "the discography here reported is partial" and a few other things based on your message. See if it is OK. I am not sure that it is helpful to mention "Mongo Santamaría's version" - it seems tangential to this discography, and I think it will confuse some readers. I recommend deleting it. You asked: "Why on English Wikipedia R&B music genre is always capitalized and the others are in lowercase?" Because R&B is an abbreviation for "Rhythm & Blues". Good luck! -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:07, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Not all abbreviations are in caps. For example, abbrev. is an abbreviation. But if the abbreviation is expressed as an acronym, it usually is expressed in capital letters, like FBI or U.S. I understand your message about "every", but I still think that "every" is not helpful. People will understand that if something says 3x Platinum it must be 1 million x3, or whatever. The "every" doesn't add much and is more likely to confuse readers, I think. Just my opinion as a reader. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:56, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Video chart; Katherine Jenkins

Hello, Simone. Can you get a link for the newest Billboard.biz video albums chart? This is the last one I saw: http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/charts/chart-search-results/videos/14123747 Also, I saw that Katherine Jenkins has a Christmas album charting. Do you have time to update her discography? No problem if you're too busy. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 14:51, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much, Simone. That was exactly what I needed for Evancho. For the future, though, sorry, but I still do not understand how to search on the billboard.biz chart. When I try to search, I just get a screen that says that I must subscribe for $177 if I want access. -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:56, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again - I was able to find the charts now. Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:34, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning of sentence in Michael Jackson albums discography

In this version of the Michael Jackson albums discography is the following sequence that appears to have been written by you:

"Always in 1972, published a second studio album titled Ben, that peaked at #5 and in 1973 and 1975, released respectively, Music & Me and Forever, Michael, that were commercial disappointment, peaking at #92 and #101."

It lacks a grammatical subject necessary to make it a sentence. I tried to render it into English but could not determine exactly what you meant. Who published and released the material mentioned and what does "always in 1972" mean? Thanks. —  AjaxSmack  02:10, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Jackie Evancho singles discography

Someone just created this Template, but as I understand it, only one of her singles was released officially. Does the Template make sense? Should it be combined with her main template? You can see it, for example, at the bottom of Prelude to a Dream. Thanks for any advice or help! -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:56, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Classical Digital Songs

Hello, S.J. Jackie Evancho recently released two songs from her new album Awakening. The songs are "Think of Me" and "The Rains of Castamere". Can you tell if these charted either on the Classical Digital Songs, or on any other chart? Thanks for any help! -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:21, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! Thanks for that link! -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:33, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
