Hit Me Off
[edit]So did the song hit #1 or #6 on the Pop chart? On the discography graph it says #1 but if you click on the song, the info page says #6, —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 152.23.79.15 (talk) 15:59, 29 March 2007 (UTC).

Studio Album 8
[edit]Studio album 8 may not be released until 2009. I found that out on the New Edition Fan Club. No one is sure when album will be released but when I find I will let Wikipedia know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasonsingerling (talk • contribs) 21:53, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Change to members section
[edit]Hello, I am going to propose a change to the "Members" section. It will replace both the "Members" and "Lineup chronology" section by merging both into one. I will use a wikitable instead of an image so that it can be easily maintained and regularly updated. I created this table using information from the article as it stands. As more information (and citations) become available, this can be fixed. I ordered the members based on, roughly, who joined first vs. who left first. In cases where members share the exact same time in the band, like Bell and Bivins, I used alphabetical order. I put "HIATUS" in 1991-1995 because the article describes this time as a hiatus and not a break-up of the group. If citations show different, then that can be easily changed. If there are any objections, please state them below. Thanks! I helpdןǝɥ I 05:12, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Bobby Brown's departure
[edit]The article formerly said:
- Under pressure from MCA and their management, the group voted Bobby Brown out in December 1985, due to behavioral problems.
And this was cited to:
- "Bobby Brown Bio – Bobby Brown Career". Vh1.com. Archived from the original on November 30, 2002.
- "Bobby Brown". Billboard.com.
But neither of these sources says that Brown was voted out of New Edition at all, much less for behavioral problems. Due to WP:BLP problems, I just removed this sentence altogether. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:51, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
