"The duo sought to improve on their 1994 debut album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik and gain respect for their burgeoning Southern hip hop scene." — Okay, I don't understand this sentence at all. It comes off as confusing to me, could you consider rewording?
Again, why isn't it noted that the album charted internationally?
Usually, the article's prose is based on secondary sources that have written about the topic. Only charting at 16 and 82 in Canada and Germany didnt really get much
independent coverage, so it wasnt notable enough to include here, whereas the album's domestic success was.

Charting in the top 20 of a country is not notable? I think it deserves at least some type of mention. Would I suggest "The album reached the top 20 in Canada, while attains chart success in one other country internationally"? —

It's simply not necessary; notability is decided by how much attention this information received from reliable independent sources (
Wikipedia:Notability). The album's chart debut and sales were covered by news articles and warranted inclusion in the article's prose. Speaking of its charting in Canada as the "top 20" is fanciful and makes it seem more important than it actually is; if it was notable, wouldnt there have been more coverage apart from an
archived magazine page? Per
WP:LEAD, the "emphasis given to material in the lead should roughly reflect its importance to the topic, according to reliable, published sources"; the importance of it charting at number 16 in Canada is not established in the article.

Every charting from the bottom-of-the-article section doesnt need to be reiterated as prose; the duo arent Canadian, and number 16 on a chart that ranks sales in a country significantly smaller than the US is an awkward one-liner at best, but that would disrupt the flow of the prose, which exclusively discusses Outkast's market.

If Jesse Marco doesn't have an WP article, is he notable enough to included here?
Not having an article does not make someone unnotable. Jesse Marco is quite well-known, notable enough for a little mention in the article. --Khanassassin☪19:54, 9 February 2013 (UTC)reply
Okay, it looks like everything has been addressed, except: Why isn't it noted that the album charted internationally in the lead and especially in the commercial performance section? —
