It seems that there is a bit of a disagreement here.

[edit]

@Paper9oll, your reasoning that you provided doesn't make sense. Nobody intentionally rewords the commercial perf. section from number to position just to reflect the chart tables, in fact, I have never seen any article use the word position in place of number in that way (outside of the ones you contribute largely to). "Number" x is far more common in usage regarding charts than "position" x is, not just on Wikipedia, but in music journalism in general. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 18:59, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Nkon21 I'm not saying if it's intenationally or not, but I'm just finding it weird that number was used on commercial performance section when all of the charts section's table(s) and discographies table(s) uses Peak chart "position" as supposed to Peak chart "number" if number is more common usage nor Peak chart "position number" which is more precise and explicit hence having lack of consistency. Personally, to me, both words are certainly equally common in terms of "knowing it" (can't remember what is the actual terms for "knowing it" but anyway ...) and also in terms of usage. Maybe how I interpret it is slightly different, I simply read it "xyz debuted at position [twenty]" in which by common sense the twenty is of course a number ... anyway, I do get what you're trying to say but not sure if you get what I'm trying to say as well.

I do get what you are trying to say, but "position" x just reads a bit more awkward and "number" x is what is used virtually everywhere. Cases where I've seen positions used more are when it says something like "...the song reached the position of number x" and whatnot like in this article. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 02:59, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Nkon21 "position of number x" sounds good even though I still prefer more direct and consistent "position x". Paper9oll (🔔📝) 03:33, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have to agree with Nkon on this one. "position x" just sounds a bit awkward to me. Maybe its cause I am used to seeing "number x" most of the time. EN-Jungwon 08:37, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
