== All I Want For Christmas Proposed Edit (See Discussion Page) == |
|||
Hello, I have outlined the rationale for a proposed edit to the [[All I Want for Christmas Is You|All I Want For Christmas Is You]] page and the [[List of best-selling singles|List of Best Selling Singles]], changing the reported figure of 16 million copies sold to 22 million copies sold to accurately reflect the total number of certifications. There is a strong indication that the 16 million figure has been inaccurate for some time and that the sources reporting it are merely repeating this figure due to a lack of substantive update. The argument that 'certifications' do not equal copies sold also does not have any qualitative basis, given that these 'certifications' are independently verified and audited by recording registries in each country. Whilst some of these sales are digital and streaming equivalent sales, the vast majority are physical sales and I would therefore propose that the 22 million figure be subject to the disclaimer that it reflects a combination of both physical and digital/streaming-equivalent sales. [[User:Cucas1234|Cucas1234]] ([[User talk:Cucas1234|talk]]) 00:49, 9 June 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::{{ping|Cucas1234}} I appreciate the fact you explain your POV. But you're simply missing a '''pivotal''' step: add a reliable source to have backed that figure ([[WP:BURDEN]]) with such important move you're doing. If this "popular song" (viral every Christmas since at least a couple of years ago) really has updated worldwide sales while receiving a notable marketing/response (even from Mariah herself since September/October yearly), then, is media's turn to post it. I personally oppose to reflect the combination of both physical/digital/streaming-equivalent sales. Aren't our businesses and is unnatural and misleading provide in a prose/lead the total certified units. It sounds more a [[circular reporting]]. For good or bad, streaming generated certs have complicated things. Some ''de facto'' reliable measurement firms have provided a general picture, including Luminate/Nielsen in the USA, or OCC in the UK, and it seems sales are not even the half compared to the amount certified from both country's organizations, eg.

== J Balvin sales == |
|||
Loco Contigo (a total of 2.5 million singles sold in 12 countries) Con Altura (3.09 million singles sold in 10 countries) Say My Name (2.3 million copies sold in 12 countries) Ritmo (3.6 million copies sold) X (4.1 million copies sold in 14 countries) Mi Gente & Mi Gente remix ( over 20 million copies sold in 16 countries) Downtown ( 6.6 million copies sold worldwide) Que Mas Pues ( 4.1 million copies sold in 18 countries) I like it ( 11 million in America and 20 million copies worldwide in total) sold). Even the simplest songs by J Balvin sell 1 million or half a million copies (with US Latin sales) on the Riaa site. He has sold over 100 million singles and albums in his entire career. [[User:Jigglyyy|Jigglyyy]] ([[User talk:Jigglyyy|talk]]) 03:57, 26 July 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::[[User:Jigglyyy|Jigglyyy]] Hi the problem those are heavily influenced by streaming generated equivalent-units, and aren't the same that copies sold. And most important, you need to prove it ([[WP:BURDEN]]) with a [[Wikipedia:Reliable source|reliable source]] saying he has sold 100 million records, and is not the case. --[[User:Apoxyomenus|Apoxyomenus]] ([[User talk:Apoxyomenus#top|talk]]) 18:50, 26 July 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:::Do you think an artist with the "best selling Latin artist" label achieved this title by selling 35 million records? See sales and listings from artists like Cardi B, David Guetta and Beyonce. They 3 songs in collaboration with J Balvin have sold over 40 million copies worldwide. If you want a source, you can check the RIAA and Universal music sites. I am someone who manages Chart account and I always check streams, sales, official listings. With just a simple calculation, I can prove that a few songs have sold 70 million in "official" sales. Go to the Wikipedia page of J Balvin songs and calculate the sales yourself. you will see this. Many of the sales are not updated on the Official Riaa sales site and Wikipedia pages, the initial sales amounts. The RIAA's recent UPDATE (also Universal music) shows that number has exceeded 100 million. [[User:Jigglyyy|Jigglyyy]] ([[User talk:Jigglyyy|talk]]) 11:35, 31 July 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::::[[User:Jigglyyy|Jigglyyy]] I was the one who search for his worldwide sales before his page have one. And yes, 35+ million record is a generous figure for a Latin artist. Not inflated comparing to the 100M number you have claimed, cuz those are streaming generated certifications. Not even Shakira is attributed with that figure, or is not used here in Wikipedia. --[[User:Apoxyomenus|Apoxyomenus]] ([[User talk:Apoxyomenus#top|talk]]) 15:37, 1 August 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:::::100 million is not an inflated figure, but a number from certificates already obtained. at the same time, 35 million sales was a number that was put forward about 3 years ago by a magazine with J Balvin on the cover. In other words, this number has already reached 40-50 million. In any case, for a hit-maker and record producer like J Balvin, 35 million isn't a generous figure, considering the title he's earned. there are too many missing. J Balvin, for example, was the first Latin artist to receive a diamond certification for his digital sales. If "PURE" singles sales are 40-50 million, their digital sales are already over 100 million. Anyone with a brain can think of it. When we look at the sources we have, the number 35 published by a magazine 3 years ago seems like a joke. [[User:Jigglyyy|Jigglyyy]] ([[User talk:Jigglyyy|talk]]) 10:32, 4 August 2023 (UTC) |

== Unneccesary Revertion == |
|||
I didn't want to engage myself in a edit war that's why i am leaving you the message, i want to discuss this topic first cause you can't revert anything in WP without coming to a conclusion with the other collaborator but you have violated WP rules, my edit in the Honorific Nicknames In Popular Music was backed up by reliable sources and was nothing other than that a true and accurate information, she has that title just like every other artist in the page have their own welll-known titles, your revertion was unneccesary and a violation to WP:rules, would you please explain your reasons and motives to revert it? And i hope they're accurate and good enough and backed up with confirmed information and well researched arguments.

== Spanish certs for Classical albums == |
|||
I read in differents sites that for a Platinum album was 25,000 copies, until September 1999. [https://www.elmundo.es/anuario/2001/sec/dyt/637.htm Here on bottom]. The album Tutto Pavarotti was certified 12x Platinum, those numbers are impossible with the standard certification. [[User:Franlm14|Franlm14]] ([[User talk:Franlm14|talk]]) 18:57, 27 April 2024 (UTC) |
|||
:{{ping|Franlm14}} I added those certified sales because it is column used throughout the list, but my addition was based in the verified sales (over a million copies in Spain), according to the ''Anuario'' from ''El País'', which I understand is a reliable source and that they provided certifications/sales figures from AFYVE (now Promusicae), like ''El Mundo'' did in early 2000s. Perhaps an additional or clarifying note could be used if raise concerns. Not the big deal if is entirely deleted. --[[User:Apoxyomenus|Apoxyomenus]] ([[User talk:Apoxyomenus#top|talk]]) 19:29, 27 April 2024 (UTC) |

::I don't mind either. The problem with source is that is probable that they did the equivalence 12x platinum = 1,200,000, [https://elpais.com/diario/1992/02/03/cultura/697071615_850215.html Here says 1.4 million sold]. But according to the book, that year was the fourth best-selling album of the year, the number 1 was Phil Collins' ...But Seriusly, and he reach just the 7x platinum mark. |

:::{{ping|Franlm14}} Sorry for the late response. There is a bit of ambiguity. Some Spanish YE reports varied a little, as far as I've seen and remember with some cases. Maybe there is a difference between best-selling vs. best-charted/best-performed.

== Oasis certified sales needed to reach 80-99 million bracket == |

Hello thanks for helping me out the last few days with the Oasis project. I really appreciate your help. Can you just tell what figure of certified sales Oasis would need to reach the 80 million mark please ?. ie 57 certified sales counts for the 75 million mark. Can you help me with this please ?.

::Hi! Sorry for the belated response. As far as I remember, we had those requirements on the top of the talk page in order to include artists or increase their rank/sales but I no longer see it. Regarding their 42M certified sales in UK, it was based on the compilation made by {{u|Markus WikiEditor}}. Once I have time, I'll double-check their missed certifications from other countries (namely, New Zealand, Mexico and so on), and see if they qualify for an upgrade; however you need also find a reliable source indicating they sold 80 million.

== Something to Remember album sales == |
|||
Hey! Why did you erase the sales of 350 thousand copies of Something to Remember in Brazil? After you made the note about the album having two gold records, you eliminated the sales that were referenced. I think one thing doesn't interfere with the other. [[User:Markus WikiEditor|Markus WikiEditor]] ([[User talk:Markus WikiEditor|talk]]) 23:59, 22 June 2024 (UTC) |
|||
:: {{u|Markus WikiEditor}} Hi Markus. On second thought, I delete it because the snipreview on Google Books was/is highly limited unlike other additions I did throught Google Books, see sales in India for Like a Prayer, or sales in Italy for Who's That Girl (soundtrack), for instance. Even also compared with the Brazilian sales for Bedtime Stories; I still have that doubt that those weren't actual sales for Something to Remember. To further clarify it, you might try to contact the uploader (see for instance, this example of ''L'Espress'': is [https://books.google.it/books?id=PHEdAQAAMAAJ&redir_esc=y Northwestern University] that have a copy/edition) or you can [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Resource_Exchange/Resource_Request ask here] if an user have access of those archives from the uploader/library.

Hi, |
|||
Re your reverts on my updates the Beyonce disc page, the only issue is that the same source has already been used on the same page (see albums table). I assumed it would be ok to reuse that source to update? Thanks [[User:Koppite1|Koppite1]] ([[User talk:Koppite1|talk]]) 22:01, 30 June 2024 (UTC) |
|||
:{{u|Koppite1}} Hi, I didn't note the source was previously used in the article and was never reverted. Aside our recommendation at [[WP:HUFFPOCON]], writter uses a terminology of combined sales: pure sales + w/ SEA & TEA which should be avoided in tables, at least a preference used by some users. One thing is sure here: If he supposedly cites Nielsen figures for U.S sales, his worldwide estimations came from his own, probably biased numbers, because he is not an expert and are a bit inflated, especially for those years. --[[User:Apoxyomenus|Apoxyomenus]] ([[User talk:Apoxyomenus#top|talk]]) 22:16, 30 June 2024 (UTC) |

::We don't know if the writer of the piece had bias but nonetheless, because of [[WP:HUFFPOCON]], i now understand (and accept) the reason for the reverts (although the same source remains used on the page in the albums table).

Oasis - I have a source that says they sold 100 million worldwide
Hi how are you doing today ?. I found two links that say Oasis has passed 100 million sales.. The first I had was from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame website. Oasis were nominated to be inducted this year. On the profile of the band it said they had sold over 100 million records worldwide, of course the link seems dead since the event is over. is there anyway we could have the nominees bios archived by anyone on here ?. I have another source would that be enough to get the band to the 100 million sales mark ?. Regards 92.251.155.97 (talk) 17:34, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi I have two sources saying Oasis have sold 100 million records worldwide , would that be enough to upgrade them please ?. Thanks 92.251.155.97 (talk) 01:30, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm doing well. I also hope you're okay. I still have no concise answer as to whether they qualify for an upgrade. I haven't seen all of their sales in available markets yet, plus it appears that we no longer have previous "requirements" for certified sales, so that part is also uncertain. I would like to help you as soon as I can, but unfortunately, I've got very limited time. Once I'm available, I could try. Thanks, --Apoxyomenus (talk) 01:48, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
Hi thank you for replying to me. When would you be able to have a look at this for me please ?. I respect you are very busy will I message you in the future please ?. Thank you 178.167.178.224 (talk) 19:44, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, I even would like to constantly update certifications for all of the listed artists. Sadly, this is not going to happen because I don't have the time, plus that is a meticulous/long-consuming labor. I prefer quicker tasks. Regarding Oasis's missing certs, I probably take a look throught the rest of this year. You might try to ask in the list' talk page, or you can also do it by yourself. Regards, --Apoxyomenus (talk) 05:57, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
