Talk:Anna Vissi

Cleanup of 07/08 section

Greekboy recently highlighted the need to clean up the 07/08 section, something that has been apparent for months. I do however suggest that we wait until the album(s) has/have been released, so we can purge all the rumours about who might participate etc, remove significant portions about who's said what about it etc., which can be condensed into one paragraph. Hence, while we DEFINITELY need to clean it up, my personal recommendation would be to wait. Queer As Folk (talk) 03:34, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

I agree we should wait, but there is some simple clean up that can be done in the meantime which is what I meant. (Re-wording, sourcing, neutrality). I will look at it better tomorrow when I have time, to see what can be done. As I said in the edit summary, I posted fast and didn't take a good look at the whole section. :p Greekboy (talk) 06:32, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

First of all, the syntax still sucks and there are still some rather exaggerative remarks regarding Mrs. Vissi's career. Furthermore, can the claims about "Demones" attracting Broadway agents' attention be verified? Elp gr (talk) 18:15, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Additional attention and sources are needed throughout. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 18:42, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Karvelas-era section (somewhat improved)

I improved the grammar, syntax and wording (to make it look more encyclopedic) in the '83-'90 section. Elp gr (talk) 18:16, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Discography

If you look at other musician's articles, even FA, they all show a sample of the artists studio and live albums. The discography page is meant to show details and other albums and works that do not fit in as the artist's most notable works and would otherwise make the page huge. Mariah Carey's article (FA), for ex., includes her compilation albums too, which I find overkill, however it's not really fair that Vissi's discography not be included b/c it is larger than most artists'. I just wrote so that we do not keep reverting our edits circularly. GreekStar12 (talk) 17:53, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Apagorevmeno Summer Tour

I realize that this was probs the ip user who put this info in, but there needs to be a source for the attendance numbers of the tour. I am thinking about actually creating this article. If Sony BMG had attendance info about Paparizou's tour last year, then they will most likely have something on Vissi. BTW, there were many tours this year other than Vissi, incl. Hatzigiannis, Vandi, Remos, Papakonstantinou, and Rouvas. It is unique that so many top artists tour at the same time, so a good way to actually view the success of her tour is to compare, if this info is available. Also, I think we should discuss what is a "success", and i doubt that 250,000 in 23 (or 26?) cities is actually record breaking. At the time of Vissi's first concert in Athens, her, Hatzigiannis and Rouvas' concerts were simultaneously advertised as they were only one day apart; I remember the comparissons being made by the media, since Vissi and Hatzigiannis had sold out concerts at Theatro Vrahon, which holds 6,000, while Rouvas' concert was sold out with 50,000 at Kallimarmaro, which was actually declared a record-breaker. Assuming that Vissi's concerts were all sold out, she is obviously playing much smaller venues, so it has to be evaluated if it was actually a success overall for her. Paparizou's tour last year 195K in 29 stops, was generally considered a success for her, although only one venue was sold out; I doubt that it would be considered a success for Vissi though.GreekStar12 (talk) 16:20, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

False information

I see that much information is false like this one: "Her album Kravgi still remains the best-selling album of the 2000s, and one of the top five best-selling of all time". The best selling album in Grecce the last twenty years, according to IFPI, is the album "Gia" of Despina Vandi. Also, the album of Anna Vissi "Kravgi" is the eighth best selling album but since 1985 until today not one of the best selling album of all time. Finally, Anna Vissi since 1995 received less than 30 platinum. Her platinum is not even 25. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.131.141.164 (talk) 12:18, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

And your proof is? Kravgi was certified 7x platinum. Since it is a double cd, it counts twice for every sale since certifications are based on discs. In 2000, the threshold was 50,000 so times 7 is 350,000 and divded by the two discs is 175,000 copies. Gia, also a double cd, only went 4 times platinum with the same thresholds, making it about 100,000 copies. This information is sourced. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 13:47, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Gia is, also, a double album which went 4 times platimum and sold 200,000 single copies or 400,000 double copies. Kravgi sold 350,000 double copies or 175,000 single copies. These are the information from IFPI not from me. Also Kravgi with the system of the single sales went 3,5 times platinum and Gia 4 times platinum so the sales of Kravgi are less than the sales of Gia.

No, Gia went 4 times platinum with double, so it sold 200,000 discs, but only 100,000 sets, unlike Vissi's 175,000 sets off 350,000 discs. Gia is 4x plat vs Kravgi which is 7x plat. How can you argue, they are both double discs so it is clear. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 16:43, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

I don't argue but according to the charts of IFPI Gia sold 200,000 (single) sales and went 4(single) times platinum or sold 400,000 double sales and went 8 double times platinum. Kravgi sold 175,000 (single) sales and 350,000 (double) sales and went 3,5 (single) times or went 7 (double) times platinum. These resources are from the IFPI's charts. They are official. You can't change it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.131.143.144 (talk) 17:22, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

If the information is correct, then I have no problem with it being changed to reflect it, however, you need to show your source. You cannot just say IFPI says this and that, you need to provide a link to a website, book, etc so that it can be verified. In order for something to be sourced properly, readers have to be able to go to the reliable source and see for themselves. If no source is provided, then the information must be removed. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 18:36, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Of course I have sources about my information from the Chart Show which takes its sources from the charts of IFPI. I have a video and an aricle from a site which proove my information. Which one do you prefer?
