Together (Alfie Boe and Michael Ball album) → Together (Michael Ball and Alfie Boe album) – Michael Ball is actually credited first. Unreal7 (talk) 18:33, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

support more sources appear to reflect this order, along with the album cover which also uses this proposed order. Tiggerjay (talk) 00:49, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
support make sure the article reflects the proper title, but keep this page as a redirect. Kellymoat (talk) 12:33, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support per above. Michael Ball credited first is the only order I've seen it credited in in other sources (not saying others don't exist, though). Ss 112 04:45, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - 25 years ago I went to go see Les Paul(headliner) and Chet Atkins(opening act) in concert. The country radio stations were saying CHET ATKINS and Les Paul, which makes sense because country people love their Chet. And many people were going to the concert saying "I am going to go see Chet Atkins." BUT, everywhere else, all other radio stations, including the tickets and programme, said Les Paul and Chet Atkins.

The point of the story is - if you are an Alfie Boe fan, you want his name to go first. You are buying it for Boe. To them, it is a Boe album. Just like the country music fans went to see Chet in concert. It doesn't make it true. Kellymoat (talk) 10:15, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, and? You seem to have said this under the impression that I oppose the move. I support it; see above. Ss 112 13:52, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all. I was simply making a pointless comment. You said "not saying others don't exist", so I was just stating as to why a wrong title may exist. The Boe fans will refer to this as a Boe album. It doesn't make it true.Kellymoat (talk) 14:30, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

support Easy. It reads Michael Ball & Alfie Boe on the cover.--z33k (talk) 12:58, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
