Sales figures anybody?

To the person who keeps changing the sale's figures back to 8.3 million.. you're wrong. 8.3 million is how many were sold in 2005, so + 2006 sales you get a figure of 10+ million.

2007

should something about the new 2007 album be on here?

Galleries

Anyone know what happened to the album galleries here? --72.237.101.131 02:38, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Album sales should be higher I think. X&Y sold 8.3 million only in 6 months in 2005. How can it have an overall selling of 10-11 millions 2 years after that? I Believe it should be around 14-15 million at least. The two previous album's sales might be like they are in the article. Although I think A Rush of blood should have sold more. And possibly Parachutes sold less. Also, why aren't the album covers here? (190.17.68.133 (talk) 02:54, 22 January 2008 (UTC)).[reply]

B-sides?

albums like A Rush Of B-Sides To Your Head, Without Parachutes are not listed here. i understand that they may not have been officially released, but their existence is undeniable!

Other albums

Where do albums like Castles fit in? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nevster (talkcontribs) 12:43, 16 April 2008 (UTC) Ah - found out it's jut a compilation someone on the web made up.[reply]

Flags

I propose the flags be removed from the list permenantely. I can find no other discography pages which use flags, so I don't see why this one should. I'm not about to start an edit war over this, but I am not prepared to be reverted for no given reason by users with clear communication problems. Qst (talk) 15:41, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, per WP:FLAG. Flags shouldn't be liberally used for "window dressing". --Madchester (talk) 16:12, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

!?@~*!

Who the f*** is the one who keeps on changing this page, like getting rid of stuff such as album chart positions so it's only UK, US and a couple more. WTF!?!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Officially Mr X (talkcontribs) 21:52, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Drop the attitude mate, as I'm not about to talk to some annoyed person who can't calm himself down. Qst (talk) 16:18, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And that person is me. We don't need loads of countries listed, just about 5. We also don't need flags, nor do we need bold face on the #1 positions. Qst (talk) 16:20, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edits of references

I made reasonable edits to the references but adding ref names to all the duplicate links to the charts for albums and live albums. I also added a link to the RIAA page for Coldplay's albums, which I thought was better than just the database entry page. Any reason why these would be reverted? --Wolfer68 (talk) 19:40, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lost? vs. Lost! charting - Lost? is correct

Ok, i've changed this a number of times now and had my edits reversed. Firstly, 'Lost?' and 'Lost!' are not the same track - they are completely different the former lasting 3:40 while the latter is 3:55.

Basically, 'Lost!' is a track appearing on the standard Viva La Vida album while 'Lost?' is a bonus track available on iTunes. The reason why this track charted in the top 75 is because this song wasn't available on the physical album so everyone that got that is downloading 'Lost?' to ensure they have all the tracks.

This article confirms this http://new.uk.music.yahoo.com/blogs/chartwatch/232/week-ending-june-21st-2008/

I Am the one that added it.... and anyway please stop ignorantly claiming your knowledge on the subject...

That doesn't resolve anything though - Yahoo is surely a more reliable source than this other site anyway? I understand there may be confusion over the track due to similar names and maybe it was 'Lost!' with the exclamation mark that charted in other countries but the fact is is that in the UK, it was 'Lost?' that charted and that is a fact and thus the Wikipedia entry must show that.
