Womanzier in the U.S. Dance

Womanizer reach the #1 in the U.S. Dance chart? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.44.46.118 (talk) 02:45, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

No, it's currently reached #9 so far CloversMallRat (talk) 00:49, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Pop 100 data

I'm just wondering where all these random peak positions from the Pop 100 came from. They're listed for all of her singles since "... Baby One More Time" despite the fact that the chart has only existed since 2005. Have people just been pulling these figures out of nowhere, or are they actually based on real data? And even if the latter is true, should such data be included for those earlier singles even though the chart did not even exist at the time? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.171.124.237 (talk) 15:10, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Edit war

Could editors please discuss the issue of sales figures rather than revert without explanation? Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 21:20, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

There is this person who continues to inflate Britney Spears sales especilly the Nielsen Soundscan sales which have been confirmed.

These "two" users may not be two users. I'm "they" are just one person who is using two or more counts.
Both User contributions are basicly the same:


Every day both users do vandalism in this page, using the same version of the page all the time.

My English is a disaster I don't understand how I should request that. Also I understand how fair use images should be used, but why you keep on inflating sales, using flag icons and adding small markets to the singles table? Kraft. 17:58, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Er, I'm not... --Mel Etitis (Talk) 19:32, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Kraft is the one who ups numbers, removes sources, and turns it into a fan page. Maddyfan 06:05, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

You're totally wrong, ups numbers? can you red this, please? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Britney_Spears_discography&action=history
I've been adding sources for about six months, read the whole talk page and then you'll understand what I'm talking about. You've changed the format of the page, I just restored it. Page said 85 million ww? what the f***? I've changed to 76 mill. according to the real source. Kraft. 07:48, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Format

I've reverted once again to something resembling MoS and WikiProjecy format. The tables are still far too tarted up, but that's a minor point. The number of problems introduced by various editors is astounding: aside from some people's insistence on reverting to the version with copyright-violating images, there's a host of formatting weirdnesses, such as dates — what on Earth is going on with formatting like this: 2006-09-15? It's as though people sat down and tried to work out how many ways they could violate the MoS.

If figures are wrong, then by all means correct them (with explanations and sources, of course), but if people continue to revert to poor formatting and especially to the misuse of images, they'll be blocked for disruption. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 20:47, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Certifications are not the same thing as sales. They represent the amount shipped not sold. By removing the US sales from the chart you are removing valuable information. I suggest you put the US sales somewhere in the article. 8.04 21:46, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Fine, if the sales can be verifiably sourced, put them in the article. If they're put in along with all sorts of other reversions to poor formatting etc., though, then I'll revert rather than go through the tedious business of redoing all my work. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 21:53, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Clearly Britney's discography is one of the most watched on Wikipedia but if you are trying to revise hers to meet Wikipedia's standards why have you done nothing about others including Christina Aguilera or Beyonce. The discographies were all in the same format until now. 8.04 02:07, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Because I'm one person, and trying to defend even a handful of articles against the idolatry, vandalism, and disruption of a bunch of adolescent boys with too much time on their hands is all that I can manage. With your help, and the help of a few others, we might be able to deal with more (but be warned: it's an uphill and frustrating task). --Mel Etitis (Talk) 10:24, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Mel, they were already cited. We went to great lengths to find out the truth a month ago. The numbers were botched and raised. It has been reverted. Maddyfan 06:04, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

I think is a good idea if we include Ireland in the singles peak list, Britney has 8 numbers one there, I think we should include it. What you think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.7.161.51 (talk) 11:07, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

A few days before I ask to add Irish singles peaks and someone did it, I do not understand why is not there again, Britney has a record with Madonna as the girl with more number one singles in the Irish chart with 7, please cand someone add it again, I can not edit this page, Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.7.161.51 (talk) 22:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Britney Clean-up

The whole thing (aka Britney) looks a mess at the moment: just about every table is in a different style. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 10:00, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I know, next week I'll try to fix it, but for now we just can revert inflated numbers. Kraft. 03:06, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Album Sales

Main page: Talk:Britney Spears discography/Album Sales

This is a summary of the consesus reached regarding Album Sales for Britney Spears, the entire thread has been archived.

An opportunity was presented to all interested parties to submit a list of reliable sources for album sames, and this list has been evaluated by several administrators - resulting that the 76 million figure is the proper number for Wikipeida. Edits to the article which do not agree with this can, and will be promptly reverted, and edit wars will not be tolerated regarding this issue.

My two cents: Since this will probably continue to be disputed and will likely increase over time, it may be better to simply avoid sales figures all together. However, if we are going to use sales figures, then we must use the consensus above. Tiggerjay 00:28, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Circus is at 833,000 on the page, but the album sold 44,000 the week before according to mediatraffic, and it already debuted on the United World Chart, can someone please add these sales. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.25.45.195 (talk) 10:16, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

The overall sales throughout her career are pretty accurate. In fact, sources of variuos relevance all over the world claim she has sold between 83 and 88 million. If you want a list of websites (like Yahoo, AOL and others) which report these figures, check the paragraph "Britney Spears" in the discussion about the Wikipedia page "List of best-selling music artists", where I provided the link to just some of them. If you want to find gazillions, you just have to type "britney 83 million" into any search engine and you'll be directed to thousands of pages that mention the same figures. Dreamboy81 (talk) 17:37, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Circus did not sale 5 million copies! It sold around 3,5 million copies. You can count the sales of every week of "Circus" since the release at "mediatraffic.de" And "Circus" isn't in the World Charts any more. It fell out of the World Charts after 16 weeks. Click this: http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums-week13-2009.htm

And Then We Kiss. Removed from the singles list. Why? Celebrity-Benji 08:20, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Soda pop

Britney had a song in the first English language pokemon movie. It was called Soda Pop. It should be listed. Anyone agree? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.148.50.249 (talk) 19:33, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree, its on the first album though User BSLilo

'Blackout' era

I think all the songs that are in fact going to be released on the album should be deleted from this part. All of the tracks from "In the Zone" and "Britney" were previously leaked, and none of them are on their respective area. So... I think those should be deleted. What do you think?? --Crunkier21 12:24, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

How about adding collaborations to the small colored table on the top left? She has done a good amount of collaborations, and I think it should be recognized

In The Zone sales

It's impossible that In The Zone sold 10 millions worldwide.. let's count: 2x Platinum in US: that means 2.000.000 copies sold 1x Platinum in Europe: that means 1.000.000 copies sold and so you wanna tell me, that In the Zone sold 7.000.000 copies outside US and EU????? That's pity! You should use references, please!!!!!Olliyeah (talk) 17:25, 21 May 2008 (UTC) Actually In The Zone sold around 3 million in the US, it just is certified at 2 x platinum for some obscure reason —Preceding unsigned comment added by B0y1718 (talk • contribs) 12:36, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


you are soooooo stupid 2003 platinum mean 2million is not same USA about 4 million —Preceding unsigned comment added by Macka7 (talk • contribs) 16:25, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm the person that edited it and claimed that In The Zine sold 10 million worldwide. Because it did. In 2003 In The Zone sold over 7 million copies, 5 years later, it at least sold another 3 million easily.Just because it was certfied 2 x platinum does not mean it sold 2 million in the US it could have 2.99 million eg. 3 million. also the RIAA havent updated their certifications in years! So In The Zone did sell over 10 million copies as of November 2008! Likewise ...Baby One More Time has sold over 30 million, Oops!...I Did It Again has sold over 24 million, Britney has sold sold over 15 million, In The Zone has sod over 10 million, Blackout has sold over 4 million, Greatest Hits: My Prerogative has sold over 10 million copies and B In The Mix-The REmixes has sold at least over 2 million. Please change them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.134.145.241 (talk) 23:02, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Blackout

The source for Blackout's worldwide sales redirects back to the page. In other words there is no source. PhoenixPrince (talk) 00:02, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Sources

This page is a mess. I don't think anyone has bothered to check the sources for this page. I also think it's very frowned upon to use an artist's official website as a source for their record sales, and even so, the sales the the wikipedia page sites are larger then Britney's official web page.PhoenixPrince (talk) 00:42, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Radar

Radar charted din Sweden and Ireland [1]. Why is not listed on the chart with other songs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.97.4.229 (talk) 15:17, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

5 or 6

It seems to make no sense to list 6 studio albums, yet show "5" in the table. Either Circus belongs on this page or it doesn't. MrMarmite (talk) 23:48, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Irish chart

Okay the irish chart is contradictory. It says she's had 7 number one's but when you add them you get 9. I've checked the charts and some songs aren't on there i have the site here(http://www.irishcharts.ie/search/placement?page=2). I'm just wondering if somebody could clarify this as it's misleading. 89.100.221.196 (talk) 15:10, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I noticed that too. As of now Piece Of Me became Spears' 8th Irish number 1 single! The most by any other feamle artist! Womanizer is extremely popular now in Iteland on the radio and on iTunes so it'll probably be another number 1 hit, becoming her 9th! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.134.145.241 (talk) 23:05, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Blackout

Blackout has been certified Gold in the Us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.18.66.24 (talk) 11:58, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

As of October 2008 Blackout has sold over 930,000 copies in the US alone! The RIAA should certify it Platinun soon as by the end of November it is expected to sell over 980,000+ eg 1 million copies!

ALBUM COVERS IN THE TABLE

Adding the Covers to Britney's Albums does not go against non-free use.


If you go to the page of any of these images of the covers. they have a 'Non-free use media rationale' box. the Purpose of use states that:


"Image illustrates an educational article about the album from which the cover illustration was taken. It is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic; as such, it is a more appropriate image than any other available. It illustrates the appearance of the cover artwork."


-Each of these album cover images illustates this article which is about the albums themselves.
-They are only being used as visual identifcation for the albums.
-It illustates the appearnce of the cover artwork.

So adding these images violates nothing.


also, if you look at the licnesing or copyright box it states:


"This image is of a cover of an audio recording, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the work or the artist(s) which produced the recording or cover artwork in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of such covers

-solely to illustrate the audio recording in question,

-on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law.
Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information."


-these images are of Low resolution being only 300x300 pixels.

-Adding these images illustrates and represnts each of their audio recordings


And thats why these images should be allowed to appear in the table.


-itsandrewomg

There seems to be a fairly wide community consensus that album covers are not used in lists, including discographies. If you want to see how widely held this viewpoint is - and I agree it's not universally accepted - go to Category:Discographies, click on a few random articles and see how many discographies contain album covers. Rossrs (talk) 09:16, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Refer Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums#Discography where it states album covers are not to be used in discographies. If you wish to add them again, you will first need to take your viewpoint to that project talk page, and have that decision reversed. Rossrs (talk) 09:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Single Certifications

I think that they should stay there as the provide useful information on one page, instead of going to each singles page. So please stop deleting it. Billy4kate,(talk)

Music Videos?

can someone tell me what's going on with britney's music video she has only ever made 26 not counting the chris cox megamix so why is their 28. all the other music videos are not true because they have been made up or have been taken from live footage. there should only be 26, "circus" is her 26th video YES or NO???? thank youNmjg123 (talk) 04:25, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Circus #5 in France album charts

I really can't understand. Why are you always editing when I put "5" on the charts for 'circus' in France??? 'Circus' is fifth of our charts right here in France, it's a fact. It's written on the official website : http://www.chartsinfrance.net/Britney-Spears/news-67189.html.

That's Where You Take Me

Why was "That's Where You Take Me" deleted from the discography? What reason does anyone have? It in fact was released in the Philippines. Ask any Britney fan from the Philippines that have not only seen the video but bought the CD Single. Someone needs to get a hold of either Britney or Jive Records and ask them to clear up all the singles and what not. Avram44 (talk) 02:31, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

It was actully just moved down to the "other charted singles" part of the discography; since it was only released in Philippines CloversMallRat (talk) 00:49, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Irish Chart Mistakes

I checked these chart positions again and came across a few mistakes they're listed below:

Sometimes - highest placement was 5th not 3rd.

Stronger - highest placement was 6th not 3rd.

Overprotected - highest placement was 9th not 7th.

Boys - it says not charted when it charted at 10th.

The link is http://www.irishcharts.ie/search/placement?page=1

If anyone has any other information as to how they got the other chart positions then thats fine but this is the site that has the official irish chart positions, so that's where im getting my basis from. 89.100.221.196 (talk) 01:02, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Circus peak positions

Circus, the album, peaked at No. 4 in the UK (everyhit.com, which is cited as a source say so as well). I have a feeling that someone has been playing around with the numbers.

Also, the 3.4 million worldwide sales seems a bit high. It also doesn't add up from individual country totals on the Circus (album) article. A source should be cited.

193.51.16.187 (talk) 09:49, 27 January 2009 (UTC)Max

Billboard Pop 100

The U.S. Pop 100 column is included in many other discographies: Christina Aguilera discography, Jessica Simpson discography, Taylor Swift discography, Kelly Clarkson discography, Leona Lewis discography, Pussycat Dolls discography, Katy Perry discography, etc.

Shouldn't a pop singer like Britney also have this column in her discography? An American pop singer should have her singles that charted on her country's official industry pop chart included in her discography. Thoughts? If the article's editors come to an agreement, I could begin adding the column. --Caponer (talk) 02:48, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Britney & Kevin: Chaotic

Shouldn't be this EP listed on the Albums section??? I mean, the EP is mentioned on the right board, but the link that appears on the EP section doesn't work.

I added the EP to the section. However I did a little bit of searching around, and I couldn't find any sort of chart positions or sales for the disc. I guess since the EP came with the DVD, it would sell as many copies the DVD sold. However I haven't found that information either. Percxyz (Call me Percy, it's easier) 14:55, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Songs Written for Other Artists

I know that Britney wrote a song for BoA which was released as a promo single and later on her debut album BoA. Where should we put this song (and any other songs Britney may have written)? Tikkuy (talk) 14:45, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I dont think there should be a section for songs people have wrote for Britney. Only songs Britney has wrote for other people.

Because there could be a ton of unknown songs written for Britney. I myself have wrote a few things that I wanted to give to her, but never really have. And there are probably a million other people who have done so too, so no real need for that section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pornisha (talk • contribs) 18:20, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Certification section

I decided to remove the certifications section as many featured discographies do not have it included. Besides, certifications have significantly changed since 1999, when "...Baby One More Time" was released, until these days. Therefore, I do not think it is enough to include only one specification for the meaning of each platinum and gold award in each country, it would most likely look messy and full of unnecessary and excessive information. Thoughts? Kraft. (talk) 11:07, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

I have no dispute with this and I agree, for reasons you've mentioned, Kraft. Go ahead. Percxyz (Call me Percy, it's easier) 06:00, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Question tho - if removed, where will this information go? Personally I don't have a strong opinion either way, but a certification is a certification, regardless of what it may represent at any given time. And there are a lot of discographies that do have the certs included. Has a definitive consensus been reached, perhaps at WP:DISCOGS? A gold single in the U.S. used to mean 1 million, but in the 1990s was changed to 500,000. So the digital age isn't the only thing that has changed the concept of a "gold record". - eo (talk) 09:49, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Picture

Why don't someone change this picture to Britney singing RADAR on the tour, it's MUCH BETTER! PlatinumFire (talk) 18:56, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Writing discography

Did Britney wrote some of the b-sides like Walk on by, Right now, Girls & Boys......? Cause if she did that should be added to it aswell. PlatinumFire (talk) 19:00, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Britney's U.S Sales As of 2009 (UPDATED)

Britney's album sales in the U.S clearly needs to be updated, I added and edited it according to Nielsen SoundScan as of July 2009!

"U.S Sales As of July 2009 according to Neilsen SoundScan"

  • Baby One More Time (1999)- 10,534,000 copies (certified 14x platinum)
  • Oops!...I Did It Again (2000)- 9,184,000 copies(certified 10x platinum)
  • Britney (2001)- 4,336,000 copies (certified 4x platinum)
  • In The Zone (2003)- 2,970,000 copies (certified 2x platinum)
  • Greatest Hits: My Prerogative (2004)- 1,347,000 copies (certified platinum)
  • B in the Mix: The Remixes (2005)- 100,000 copies (no certifications since it didn't achieved the gold status, which means 500,000 copies sold)
  • Blackout (2007)- 967,000 copies (no certifications yet, although RIAA can certify an album platinum,which can range from 900,000 to 1,000,000 copies of sales level)
  • Circus (2008)- 1,575,000 copies (certified platinum)

Worldwide Sales: (First and foremost, I do not trust Britney's sales/worldwide figures appearing in her official website click here because some certification's there are false, and it doesn't have any inaccurate sources like Mexico's AMPROFON, Brazil's ADBP. In the country Philippines and Korea where both "Baby One More Time" and Oops! I Did It Again, received 10X platinum, has no official recording sales website to come up with, also like Indian and Turkish certification where it received 4 to 5 times platinum, and these countries doesn't have any real websites that can proved that it has been certified on that county like U.S's Billboard 200 and Canada's CRIA.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adelbutt123 (talk • contribs) 12:15, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Key cuts from remixed

People shouldnt include thah supossed EP cuz it was a promo, its not even an official EP, it was just for do a little promotion, maybe we should remove it from all the articles and just link it on the B in the mix article...just there...Fortunato luigi (talk) 05:18, 22 August 2009 (UTC)Fortunato luigi

    • Note that "i dont think so" is not a logic answer... the only reference to that supposed EP is a unknown web site, i dont think it is a reliable source, and i never heard before about that supposed EP, not from Britney or her website, not form iTunes, not form Sony, Jive, Zomba, anyone mention that EP Fortunato luigi (talk) 02:40, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
      • Sorry, I take back what I said previously. Discogs is DEFINATELY NOT an unknown website, it has over 200,000 visitors a day, but it has bootlegs and off-label releases, so Key Cuts From Remixed is probably a bootleg. Rogue Leader User talk:The Rogue Leader 28 August 2009 19:07
  • No, it was there before we listed it on wikipedia and it says jive/zomba release. And "huh" wasn't anything bad! It was just that I got tired of searching 4 key cuts on the net, but u misunderstood its meaning............. PlatinumFire (talk) 18:59, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Europe Certifications and Japan Peak for Oops!

According to the page, neither Blackout or Circus have been certified in Europe, eventhough they reached #1. And another thing, why did Oops! only reached #67 in Japan? I SERIOUSLY doubt it. Rogue Leader User talk:The Rogue Leader 28 August 2009 19:04

Worldwide Sales Update

According to "People Magazine", worldwide sales since October 7, 2002 for Britney's three albums since including;

Although sales were incredibly high for her fist two albums, but for her third self titled set..sales were down As of 2008, ...Baby One More Time hadsold more than 25 million albums worldwide according to Telegraph.co.uk News and Fox News. But after 7 years, sales for her albums must be higher.
