Talk:Bionic (Christina Aguilera album)

June 7th New Zealand release date - can someone add this?

I'm from New Zealand and I asked the CD store when would it be released. They told me June 7th. Can someone add this to the release dates? (: I think it would be more informative for New Zealand fans. Thanks (: 125.238.96.175 (talk) 05:34, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

I agree, see reference here http://www.jbhifi.co.nz/cd-dvd-music/hot-new-release-cds/ Dbc55 (talk) 02:49, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Confirmed tracks aren't confirmed.

There are no sources for the 'Confirmed Tracks' so either they need sources or need to be removed. I also know that one of them isn't really a name for one of the tracks, it is a working title. 'I Am' is what Sia named the track as a working title, but she says that Christina may change the name and it's not confirmed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.116.103.93 (talk) 18:06, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

I completely agree with you. I think someone has already removed it though so its fine now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimmyboy94 (talk • contribs) 05:48, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Album tracks!

Ive split the album tracks up into 'Recorded Tracks' and 'Confirmed Tracks' and updated the credits of each with info from the ASCAP site. Ive done this as with it being a new release more people will be coming to this page and not all of the tracks mentioned are actually confired ass album tracks, some may not make it onto the album or some may even be for the Burlesque soundtrack. I guess we'll find out when the albums released. Wneedham02 (talk) 01:08, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

The article doesn't mentioned something about the viral camapign, which "is" from Xtina. Many rumors comes to the web, and many of the main journalist have written about it. As NME, PopJustice... --201.232.241.223 (talk) 02:45, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank v much!! :-) MariAna_MiMi (Talk) 19:43, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Please make note to the album:

• It is the first album for her to have a Parental Advisory sticker. I saw the sticker on her cover on Oprah as she was introducing her on the show.

Key word being CURRENTLY!!! - HMV says track listing to be confirmed. Lil-unique1 (talk) 14:40, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

It doesn't mention TBC anywhere on there but all track listings are subject to change up until the albums actual release, of course. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.25.175.246 (talk) 15:36, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Apologies. I added it a few days ago and it did say artwork and track listing to be confirmed. lets wait for other sources to say the same then we'll add it.Lil-unique1 (talk) 15:47, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

I think this could be included if we can find another source that states the same exact tracklisting. --Alextwa (talk) 17:06, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Music Factory has confirmed a slightly different listing [2]Lil-unique1 (talk) 19:23, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

If there are contradicting sources with different information then we should wait to post a trracklisting. I'd wait until a reliable website such as her official site or a site like amazon.com puts in a tracklisting. --Alextwa (talk) 19:57, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Although i dont think that Amazon is any more credible than any other retailer i certainly will advocate as above. We should not add until there is more than one source with credility indicating the same tracklisting. Lil-unique1 (talk) 20:13, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

I Found another website saying the same tracklist http://www.cdwow.com/CD/christina-aguilera-bionic/dp/9348623/14711093 just to let you know, I Think this is official :)

Christina said in an interview last week that she was still picking the tracklist so I doubt any of these are real.

I would prefer if we got the tracklisting from her website, RCA or Sony Music. If there is a pre-order option on iTunes then I think that would justify including the tracklisting as well. --Alextwa (talk) 14:29, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Although I got this from hmv, it's clearly not correct.

She stated "Stronger" was only a working-title as it was to confusing with the fact another song is also called "Fighter" from Stripped. This is obviously not correct.

Writers for confirmed tracks

There are writers mentioned in the ASCAP site. Might be worth placing them there already.

Genre

Why No One adds genre on the record? is obviously going to have same tipe of sound of Stripped Pop, R&B, Urban adding Electropop and Dance-Pop to all, I think that are the genres judging for Not My Self Tonight and the leaks of Bionic and You Lost Me that someone record from Vh1 Storytellers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.142.136.10 (talk) 16:32, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

but those could be live renditions of the songs. Its best to wait for the album to actually come out then we can base the genre on the reviews!Lil-unique1 (talk) 16:35, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

I listen to 3 new leaks "I Hate Boys", "Bionic" and "You Lost Me" and is kind of true the Pop, R&B, Urban, Electropop, Dance-Pop..but I don't know I think that the better put the general thing Pop, R&B, Electropop, cuz I heard "Bionic" and sounds like an Alternative/New Wave and "You Lost Me" a Soul song, So I Think that wait to the review is better cuz they put the genre in general like "Pop" record, "Dance", "R&B", etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.8.58.121 (talk) 23:28, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, better wait the reviews, I just heard all the amazon previews..and really covers a lot of genres and is better wait until someone of reviews put the genres in general. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.142.225.134 (talk) 18:39, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Billboard

Billboard have described her album as a cut and paste record.

"As it happens, "cut and paste" goes a long way toward describing the choppy postmodern vibe on "Bionic," due June 8 from RCA." Source:[5] This should be added.Apeaboutsims (talk) 05:24, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Woohoo not second single

No where has it been confirmed to being the second single. It was a promo single in the USA only exactly the same as Dynamite was over there. It's listed in the "Singles" section as the second single. This should be removed or changed to promo itunes single for the USA only.125.238.96.175 (talk) 00:50, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Exactly, it is not an official single. It has not even been confirmed by Christina's camp as such and there still has been no conformation as to what the second single will be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coiler fan (talk • contribs) 02:15, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

You people are not understanding. When a song is sent to radio, it means it is a single. Normal album tracks are not just sent to radio, they are considered singles. Dynamite and Woohoo both are given official radio add dates as singles. Just because she or her label didn't make an announcement doesn't mean anything. There are songs that have just been released to iTunes as promo singles, and they aren't considered singles. But due to radio, Woohoo and Dynamite do not fall under this category, and are official singles. Candyo32 (talk) 18:58, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Actually being sent to radio is not proof of single release. However "Woohoo" has been given critical reception and some websites have referred to it as the next single. Therefore in this case although its precautious (and i voted for the song to be merged to the album) it is notable for its own article. We will monitor the situation and if the song doesn't recieve a video or recieve official promotion announcement in the future as a single but another song does then we can demote the song's status. I have heard that "You Lost Me" is being lined up as a new single - but we will monitor the situation. Regards, Lil-unique1 (talk) 22:34, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

As I said in the debate a while back on WP:SONGS, regular album tracks do not get airplay. Labels have radio add dates for a reason, for the particular song to get airplay. I mean, when has there been a case when as song released to radio has not been a single. I mean its pretty self-explanatory. Also, not all official singles have an accompanying video release, nor does a video being released make a song a single. Here in the US, CD singles are very uncommon now. So if this were the case, no US-only singles after the release of an album would technically be a single, if you do not count the radio date as being a single. Therefore I thought we decided on WP:SONGS that it would be the case like I said. And about the next single, "You Lost Me" was performed on Idol and received rave reviews for Xtina's vocal performance. However I'm hearing differently, that "Bionic" may be lined up, especially since it has been well-received by fans (more than likely, not critics), and will probably debut on the Billboard Hot 100 from digital downloads from the album alone. Candyo32 (talk) 00:31, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Actually some random album tracks do get sent to radio, i've known Oasis' 'Shes Electric' to be played on the radio before and a number of other album tracks (not just Oasis). I agree it should be removed from the singles selection until there is a source confirming it is a single. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robinsimpson1992 (talk • contribs) 21:14, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Sure, any song can be played on the radio. But singles like Woohoo are given a SPECIFIC radio add date, in this case May 25, 2010, in which labels want there songs (in mostly all cases their SINGLES) to start getting spins. Alright, for US-only singles after an album's release, radio add dates have to be considered as the release date. This has already had an long drawn out discussion before, see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Songs/Archive_4#Singles_release_date_is_when_FIRST_being_SOLD_as_a_Single.2C_NOT_Radio_Airplay Candyo32 (talk) 21:31, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
