Peak chart positions[edit]

Some of his songs were hits on the U.S. Dance Club chart, and one with that information should add it to the chart, as he was NOT a failure in the United States, as the lack of information implies. Stopde (talk) 00:52, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Birthplace[edit]

I am not going to watch this page for various reasons, but I would like to initiate a discussion regarding Dr. Alban's birthplace: The article claims that he was born in Oguta, and I believe this is accepted by the majority, however the first reference I visted (this AllMusic link, which I updated in the article just now), claims that he was born in "Awomama", which is a misspelling of Awo-Omamma. Both towns are just roughly 15km apart, so it would not be much of a difference. However, the German Wikipedia article claims that he was born in Enugu, which is actually located in a different state than the other two, and also a good 150km away (quite a difference). Does anybody have specific references on the issues, or even with different birthplaces? Lordtobi (✉) 20:07, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I don't understand why he is described as "Nigerian born Swedish". Unless he has abandoned his Nigerian citizenship (proof would be required) then he should be listed as Nigerian-Swedish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.231.165.102 (talk) 22:11, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
