Talk:Britney Spears discography/Archive 2

Unsourced changes

This article gets far too many unsourced changes, or changes contrary to sources, even from registered users. If even registered editors keep changing numbers without providing new sources, I am inclined to fully protect this article, and then anyone who wants to change any number will need to present a supporting source on this talk page and ask for the change with {{editprotected}}. Gimmetrow 15:21, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Another change [1], after prompting, got a source [2]. The source is http://www.britney.com/us/biography. (Note that when edits refer to "official website", some may understand that to be http://www.britneyspears.com/ - which is another reason editors really really need to provide urls when changing numbers.) Anyway, since this article doesn't copy many other items from the britney.com bio, is the britney.com bio going to be considered the reference point for everything on this page? Some things? What?

The Certificacion of Womanizer in France

In the office page in wikipedia of the first single of her album "Circus" is written that Womanizer has been certified gold in France... so... why in the page of the discography is not written this? And why in the single toxic are? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.46.195.176 (talk) 00:20, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

The single "Womanizer" has sold 121,990 units which is enough to meet the requirement of Gold certification for singles, but has not yet been certified by SNEP due to not having received the fee from the French record company which releases Spears' records there. You can verify French certifications though the following sites, 1, 2.--Harout72 (talk) 02:32, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

29 singles

Why there is only 29 singles? Count: Baby one more time, Sometimes, Crazy, Born to make you happy, From the bottom of my broken heart./5 Oops, Lucky, Stronger, Don't let me be the last to know./9 I'm a slave, not a girl, overprotected, love rock'n'roll, Anticipating, Boys/15 me against the music, toxic, everytime, outrageous/19 my prerogative, chris cox megamix, do something/22 someday/23 and then we kiss/24 gimme more, pom, break the ice/27 womanizer, circus, seek amy, radar/31 3/32

??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vinokurov Demis (talk • contribs) 19:50, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

It's because Chris Cox Megamix and And Then We Kiss don't count as real singles, just promotional singles. --PlatinumFire

If count it there http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britney_Spears_discography#Singles we'll get 30 singles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vinokurov Demis (talk • contribs) 10:12, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Anticapating is also not counted due to being a minor/ promo release, a test release in France. --PlatinumFire

But in fact "Anticipating" is a single too. It's not important is "Anticipating" a minor single, or not. At first it's a single. And so who has decided that "Anticipating" is a test release in France? The single "I love rock'n'roll" was not released in France — Release of "I love rock'n'roll" in France, has been replaced by release of "Anticipating" (they have similar design of CD, and they has been released during the same period). So "Anticipating" is the second "I love rock'n'roll" for contries, where "I love rock'n'roll" has been not released (France, Brazil). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vinokurov Demis (talk • contribs) 15:08, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

And also look at this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Britney_Spears_discography&oldid=312808498 On this page number of singles is 29. Than the single "3" was added to list, but the number of singles is still at 29, like was before. So we get, that 29+1=29. --Vinokurov Demis (talk) 12:46, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

No, it is 29+1-1=29. --PlatinumFire 13:51, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Why minus one? No one single has been deleted from table. 29 - is number of singles from BOMT to Radar (info from this page http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Britney_Spears_discography&oldid=312808498). Then the single "3" was added to the table (+1). Look at this picture and you will understand me http://www.imagebam.com/image/4d03d656908977 .--Vinokurov Demis (talk) 22:00, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

I understand, but look on Talk:3 (song) and look the pictures there. If we count all those minor/radio/promo singles we'll get 40 singles! --PlatinumFire 19:20, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for information. --Vinokurov Demis (talk) 19:39, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

No. Unreleased albums don't go in discography articles.—Kww(talk) 19:19, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Why do...

Why is this page using britney.com as a source? FIRST OF ALL: the sales and certifications are outdated SECOND: those sales only count the certifications shown there THIRD: some certifications are fake and/or do not match with real certifications... so why do we use it as a source? PLUS, people refer to it as an official page, while it is not! It's is her record label page...while britneyspears.com is the official britney page. britney.com says that the album ...Baby one more time sold 22 million copies, while britneyspears.com, her OFFICIAL site says over 25 million... we should use other sources than britney.com, because it is not reliable at all, but when i try to change the source, a known christina aguilera fan that I'm not mentioning now lowers sales to what britney.com say...I am just saying that we shouldn't use britney.com as a source. --GenieOFbritney (talk) 05:22, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Blackout sales...

the album Blackout has sold over 3.1 million copies worldwide. http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/videogaga/10234/britneys-27-most-memorable-moments/ http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/nov/28/britney-spears-circus this two sources say it. But people keep lowering it to 2.5 million using jive records page, which had an article from January 2008 saying 2 million, now the article has been deleted. They also use an old biography from Spears, that says 2 million and is based in that jive records article from 2008. The album has been for nearly three years and sold 2 million on its first two months of release, according to IFPI. So, don't lower sales again please, Blackout sold over 3.1 million copies and there are sources to confirm it. The one who is lowering Blackout sales and putting two fake sources/links should stop doing it. Thanks. --GenieOFbritney (talk) 16:38, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

"Britney" sales

in this video, Britney Spears says she was busy selling "fifteen" million copies, referring to his previous album "Britney." Leaving Britney's own mouth, we can consider that "Britney" has sold fifteen million copies!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3x62BRgjaM

(on 2:53)

No, we can't. And YouTube is not a reliable source for this. Please see WP:RS. - eo (talk) 21:20, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Be realistic and stop inflating sales

youtube is not a reliable source, get real.

According to Forbes (a real reliable source) among other sources, britney sales are like that in the present:

Baby one more time: 22 millions; Oops I did it again: 17 millions; Britney: 9 millions; In the zone: 8 millions; Blackout: 2.5 millions; Circus: 3.5 millions

According to Forbes, brit has sold more than 63 millions, those are tha updated sales. Not because we are fans, we have to inflate sales come on. I'm a huge britey spears fan, but facts are still facts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.216.196.149 (talk) 21:26, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

excuse me but...and yuour source? ...Baby one more time has sold over 25 million copies as of 2010, so stop changing it. http://www.britneyspears.com/2010/01/baby-one-more-time-11th-anniversary.php if you don't believe it.

By the way, Forbes never said 63 million albums, that's what Jive records said in the Singles Collection press release, which is wrong, because in Circus press release it said 62 million (and circus sold 3.5 million, so they are wrong). Forbes, back in 2007, said 75 million albums. --GenieOFbritney (talk) 22:37, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Unusual You Is a confirmed single

Hi, At the time, i thought the re-direct was a good idea as discogs was the only source we could find. I always knew it was real as i own a copy of the CD Single. But now, there are reliable sources confirming the singles release. The Music Charting Industry confirms that the CD Single was released worldwide on 15 September 2009.[3] Also, it states that it was released worldwide, not just in Australia. If you look at "3" on that site, it states the pacific countries where it was released. It tells you where the CD Single was released and the EP was released. However, on the Unusual You CD single, it doesn't give a pacific area, which means it was released worldwide. I think that giving one for the most reliable sources on the net, that Unusual You can be a single on Wikipedia. Is it possible to put it back up? Thank - You--Apeaboutsims (talk) 02:27, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Britney has sold over 100 million records according to RIAA.

You read that right!

hollywoodnews.com has written an article claiming that Britney Spears has sold over 100 million copies worldwide! Quote: "The Recording Industry Association of America has announced that Spears has officially sold over 100 million records"

"Spears sold more than 28 million copies of her debut album, “Baby One More Time,” and has sold over 20 million copies with her second album, “Oops!… I Did It Again.”"

Baby One More Time has sold over 28 million! So lets change that! ;)

Unusual You (again) WITH SOURCE'S

Official confirmation of a CD single release here. Then we have a video game franchise report that Unusual You managed to peak at No.19 on the ARIA Physical Singles Chart (a chart of music based on CD Single purchases) in October 2009. Since it charted on the other charts as well, it should have an article. Especially if "Unusual You' manged to reach 19 on the ARIA charts.--Apeaboutsims (talk) 02:43, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Please tell me...

Can anyone tell me why is Netherland included in the charts peaks for both albums and singles? I mean, it's not a reliable country for Spears sales and it's not a big market. I think that it should be removed from the list. Thanks. Or at least please explain me why it should be there. --GenieOFbritney (talk) 22:09, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Well why not? It has a bigger market than Switzerland, Ireland and New Zealand! Plus, it is a reliable country for her, more so than Japan.AtomicMarcusKitten (talk) 22:44, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Her sales and peaks are not good there, how can it be a reliable market for her? And Japan is a big market, and more reliable than the Netherlands, talking about Spears.--GenieOFbritney (talk) 14:51, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

So what if her sales and peaks aren't good there, that's not being very fair... NZ and IRE are smaller markets, and japan is less reliable that the Netherlands... Anyway, say another country that could go in?AtomicMarcusKitten (talk) 16:10, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

removing a country for the pure reason of her chart peaks aren't as good as somewhere is an invalid reason and it's WP:UNDUE. discogs are meant to show an artists performance across a range of varied markets, not just her best performing ones. and the sources and charts in the netherlands are 100% reliable. 82.44.8.187 (talk) 20:00, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Per WP:DISCOGSTYLE: "a good rule of thumb is to go by the relative success of the artist on that chart." Per this guideline, poor chart performance is valid reason for exclusion. Yves (talk) 21:07, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Yer, but its also based on the size of the market! And i don't know what the f*ck either of you's are on about...

Blackout Gold?

i checked the source given, it didnt say anything about the album going gold, i even went on the RIAA database and it didnt have blackout logged at all, meaning it wasnt certified, now i understand at those sales (like 900,000+ right?) it should have gone gold in the US, but we are not ones to give out certifications based on what we think.

it looks like this article could be run by just another crazed britney fan, but upon reading the above discussion of someone trying to just put all her highest charts in i see that you people actually care about the quality and fairness of this article i suggest it could be removed or if it did go gold, put a serious and reliable source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.146.40.150 (talk) 22:35, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Britney Spears discography

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Britney Spears discography's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "criasales":

Britney has sold 100 million albums!!! Please realize this

For the record,

Britney Spears has sold 100 million albums, and has been certified by the appropriate recording industry companies who chart such progress.

This is a completely reliable source, since Billboard is the main outlet that provides information for music in America and throughout the world!!!

http://www.billboard.com/news/britney-spears-affairs-to-remain-under-control-1004118430.story#/news/britney-spears-affairs-to-remain-under-control-1004118430.story

Also the Internet Movie Database Bio for Britney:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005453/bio

And to be even more convincing here are as many sources as I can find that say she has sold 100 million albums. Why would multiple sites post the same thing, yet not be held as credible? These many websites, blogs, and news pages cannot make up the same information.

http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/britney-spears-new-album-out-early-2011-says-producer_1179471

All these sources seem to prove that she has sold 100 million albums. And if you include singles it is at least 140 million.

So please change this because her label has been wrong for years, which may not seem to make sense, but record labels only pay for certifications. It is not their job to tally every one of their artists' sales. That is left to compiling industries, such as Nielsen SoundScan, the IFPI, and the RIAA.

Even the certifications already confirmed and posted on wikipedia are much closer to 100 million than 67. And check out these other wikipedia links that also prove album sales far greater than 67 million:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Britney_Spears

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best_selling_music_artists

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_album_copies_has_Britney_Spears_sold

Plus when she went on tour in 2009 and when she released the Singles Collection her label put out similar press releases as the one yesterday, and wikipedia ignored those so why be any different now. All of them were and are incorrect. Could you reply so I know that they were changed?

This includes any website whose content is largely user-generated, including the Internet Movie Database, Cracked.com, CBDB.com, and so forth, with the exception of material on such sites that is labeled as originating from credentialed members of the sites' editorial staff, rather than users. As I mentioned on your talk-page, sales figures should be supported with third party reliable sources, they could be new services, music industry related organizations such as MTV, Billboard, VH1 etc, etc.. Britney Spears is rather famous, therefore, locating a source for her sales figures should not be a big problem. By the way, I just checked the source at Lady Gaga discography, and the source which support the 12 million in sales for The Fame is an article by CBS, which is reliable.--Harout72 (talk) 01:47, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

WHAT HAPPENED TO WW SALES OF "BRITNEY" "ITZ"???

Aparently they are saying Live Nation and Britney's official website is not reliable :/

Anyway, everyone knows In the Zone sold 10 million worldwide, and Britney 12 million. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GenieOFbritney (talk • contribs) 16:28, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

certification....

--91.154.96.195 (talk) 15:27, 28 January 2011 (UTC) Blackout album page says that it has sold Platinum in the US meanwhile in the discography page its says it has sold Gold, wich is the right one, it has still sold 991,000 in the US.

Neither was correct, RIAA has not issued Gold or Platinum for Blackout. I removed both. You should, by the way, sign after your comments not before.--Harout72 (talk) 16:10, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Why hasnt it beeen certificated, its 3 years ago it was released, and it has sold 991,000 in the US? --91.154.102.90 (talk) 12:30, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

The record company would have to pay the required fee in order for RIAA to issue a Gold certification for Blackout. The record company will possibly wait out and pay the fee once the album passes the 1 million mark and get RIAA issue a Platinum certification instead of paying one fee for Gold and another fee when it reaches a Platinum status.--Harout72 (talk) 19:32, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Why does "That's Where You take me" belong to other singles?

There are no any sources of realise "That's Where You take me" and it doesn't belong to "Britney Spears singles" template. Why is it in her discography? --Vinokurov Demis (talk) 14:25, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Main picture

Can someone dig up another picture? I think someone who changed it did it on purpose, and because it's ugly. That is not fair. I am sure there are many non licensed photos to use for a different photo. It's so ugly, someone change it.

Don't want to wait, I want it now. n-n-n-n-now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.1.139.211 (talk) 22:04, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Inside Out

Uhh why is it listed as 2nd single? The only source that says that is MTV.com, but I won't rely on that since they post a lot of crap. Please wait for an official announcement! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.119.31.102 (talk) 22:00, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Some mistakes

Unusual You was No. 80 in the USA, it charted but is marked as a non-charter! Me Against The Music was No. 5 in Germany, not No. 11 source--79.216.220.28 (talk) 23:08, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Featured songs

This should make a note of the only featured song she was on, "Crazy" by Kevin Federline from his album Playing with Fire. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.100.157.43 (talk) 00:23, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Britney spears single and album sales

looking on the german version of Wikipedia it states baby one more time Album 28,000,000 Oops...I did it again Album 20,000,000 Britney Album 12,000,000 In the Zone Album 10,000,000 Blackout Album 3,100,000 and Circus Album 4,500,000. Greatest Hits: My Perogative 5,000,000 B in the Mixes 3,000,000 and The singles Collection 1,300,000 as her World wide sales, why are these not shown? and why do people keep deleting the sales of britney and in the zone. reliable sorces are nill as they can add on or take off what they want when they write and artical, surely you can trust another wiki site.

also add on her world wide single sales. by the german wikipedia it sates: Baby One More Time 9.145.000 1999 Sometimes 3.902.000 You Drive Me) Crazy 4.192.000 Born to Make You Happy 3.673.000 From the Bottom of My Broken Heart 1.000.000 Oops!… I Did It Again 5.995.000 Lucky 3.914.000 Stronger 3.532.000 Don’t Let Me Be the Last to Know 800.000 I’m a Slave 4 U 2.926.000 I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman 2.020.000 Overprotected 2.020.000 2002 I Love Rock ’n’ Roll -- Boys (The Co-Ed Remix)(featuring Pharrell Williams) -- Me Against the Music(featuring Madonna) 5.360.000 2004 Toxic 5.355.000 Everytime 4.118.000 Outrageous -- My Prerogative 1.000.000 Do Somethin 700.000 Gimme More 3.300.000 Piece of Me 2.500.000 Break the Ice 1.029.000 Womanizer Circus 6.500.000 Circus 5.500.000 Shattered Glass 160.000 If U Seek Amy 2.000.000 Radar 800.000 3 3.500.000 Hold It Against Me 2.100.000+ Mikala19 (talk) 15:57, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Sorry. The German Wikipedia uses very unreliable sources for worldwide sales (Mediatraffic, Fansites). We can't add that. Novice7 (talk) 16:02, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

wikipedia still needs to sort out the britney and in the zone album world wide sales Mikala19 (talk) 15:57, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Record sales

record sales are the artists total singles and albums sales britney therefore has sold over 170 million albums and singles [records] not 100million like this page says 70million is a big difference. to be more precise it is 173,940,000 albums and single AKA records Change it Mikala19 (talk) 15:56, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

STOP MAKING FALSE CHANGES

Me Against The Music was number 5 in Germany, what makes you people think to change it to 11?

US Pop

Why is the US Pop chart listed here. First of all airplay charts are not suggested to be used in discography, and second of all they are usually used in cases where charts are needed, Spears is a worldwide artist, so this chart shouldn't be here. Candyo32 18:01, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. They should only be listed for artists who fail to receive much attention on the other more notable Billboard charts like the Hot 100. The question is, what should it be replaced with? I suggest maybe Italy, Japan, or Spain, with Italy as my top choice. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 18:42, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Hm, do you know what chart was listed there before a user boldly put the pop chart there? Candyo32 18:53, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Looking at the history, it looks like nothing was there before the Pop songs. It was just added. However, I still believe we should add Italy, since it is a major world music market and just about all her singles since You Drive Me Crazy charted on it. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 19:01, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

That's fine I think. Candyo32 19:04, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

It should be removed, and there doesn't need to be another region listed as there are currently eleven and should only be ten. Yves (talk) 15:54, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Featured Article in Portuguese

I did it! I got and I'm so happy... I wanna ask to someone put the Featured Article link (Link FL|pt). The Britney Spears discography is now Featured article in Lusophone Wikipedia. Diegoftq2 (talk) 15:40, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

 Done. Yves (talk) 16:29, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

"That's Where You Take Me" is not a single

I'm pretty sure "That's Where You Take Me" is a single. The source listed doesn't seem to be reliable, as articles on the same website also claim that "Cinderella" and "Bombastic Love" were also released as singles. If any of these songs were released as singles, wouldn't they have been included in some versions of The Singles Collection? Akcvtt (talk) 20:42, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

It received the same type of release "Anticipating". That song isn't in The Singles Collection either, does that make it not a single as well? Both songs received a very small release, which is probably why it wasn't included. Why would her label include a song that never charted on an album of #1s? ℥^nding·start 23:53, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

S&M featuring Britney is #1

It should be added to the discography! Now listed as featured artist on "S&M," Spears earns her fifth Hot 100 No. 1 and second this year, following her own "Hold It Against Me" in January. She had previously reigned with her debut single "...Baby One More Time" in 1999 and returned to the summit with "Womanizer" (2008) and "3" (2009).
