3x Platinum certification

The album Goodies has indeed been certified Triple Platinum. I saw this on BET's "106 & Park" back in October, when she received the Triple Platinum plaque on TV myself.LAUGH90 23:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not according to the official certifying authority, the RIAA. --Yamla 23:49, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They are months late. They havent updated their certifications since Summer 2006. How come Janet's "20 Y.O." isnt on there, or how come the High School Musical soundtrack isnt certified 3x or 4x Platinum?LAUGH90 19:39, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Discography Is Mostly Wrong and Stop changing her album sales to 3x Platinum and "Oh" went to #1 and Ciara Sold More Than Rihanna

Goodies is 3x platinum go to Youtube and type in Ciara 21st birhtday ull see the vid and feel stupid and she sold 2,700,000 records in 2005 and it is actually 4x platinum now selling 6 million worldwide.

Goodies is 3x platinum go to Youtube and type in Ciara 21st birhtday ull see the vid and feel stupid and she sold 2,700,000 records in 2005 and it is actually 4x platinum now it has 3,790,450 records sold selling 6 million worldwide. Goodies was a hit so as 1,2 Step and Oh. By the way "Oh went to number 1 because it said she had three #1 hit singles thank u veryn and stop changing it because you either hate Ciara, aint a fan, jelious cuz she's a better artist than many and yuor trynna play her to make it look like rihanna had more sccess on her album don't do it after it is changed again dont change it please cu i want to know and be able to change it get lives "haterz" thank u and ciara sold more than Rihanna ever did so don't change it I am Ciara's #1 fan.

Falsifications of Single Positions

Firstly lets make it clear that ciara has many fans but lying about her achievements in the discography does not improve her credibility. someone has rather disrespectfully written that both "go girl" and "never ever" has charted all over the world in top 20 positions. we know from billboard, rianz, aria, uk top 40 etc. that this is not the case so i dont know why people see the need to LIE!!! Neither single was released outside of the US. please stop. corrections have been made. (Lil-unique1 (talk) 14:03, 1 April 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Mixtape

Sources say she released a mixtape. Why do you keep deleting it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.21.45.54 (talk) 00:40, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Writing, Production, Video Directing Credits

There needs to be a section of her Video Directing Credits which include Love Sex Magic directed by Diane Martel and Ciara, Ciara also directed Paula Campell's "Ain't Nobody Stupid". http://concreteloop.com/2007/08/on-the-set-ciara-directs-a-video-for-paula-campbell?cp=1

She wrote a song for The Proud Family Soundtrack for the episode "the good, the bad, and the ugly", as well as wrote & produced songs for Mya, Tiffany Evan's "Promise Ring", Lloyd's "Hey Young Girl" & "Take It Low", Ludacris, Rihanna, Nelly and Blu Cantrell

On Ciara's Singles discography for the song 'I Bet,' the chart position for the US R&B needs to be changed from 9 to 15. She is number 9 on the R&B songs chart, not the Hip-Hop/R&B charts. Also, she has charted in Canada, so for the Canadian slot, she has charted at number 95 this week, so that needs to be updated on her singles discography for 'I Bet.'

@CityOfSilver: Is this not WP:OR? The same article says that "Luv" by Janet Jackson is not a single, even though it was added to radio and had a music video. Surely WP:DUCK applies?

Orphaned references in Ciara 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 Ciara 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 "Bubbling":

From Mike Will Made It: "Mike Will Made It – Chart Search (Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles)". Billboard. Retrieved March 23, 2017.
From Walker Hayes: "Walker Hayes Chart History: Bubbling Under Hot 100". Billboard. Retrieved July 26, 2022.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 06:48, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
