Daydream has 11 million certified album units in the U.S. in addition to 13 million single units alone, would it be sufficient to reapply the 25 million WW sales figure? fidelovkurt 17:34, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
In the "Background and release" section, it says this: Daydream was released in the United Kingdom on September 25, 1995,
[1] Taiwan on September 26,
[2] Europe on September 28,
[3] Japan on September 30,
[4] and the United States on October 3.

The lede for a long time has shown October 3, 1995, as the album's release date (which is the one for the US, and follows naturally because Carey is a US artist), but a couple of days ago, this changed it to the earliest of the dates listed in the sentence I just cited (September 25, 1995 ... in the UK). And now another editor is changing this back to what it was.
Bringing this up as this could become an edit war. What guideline governs the date we should put in the lede? There usually isn't a problem with albums of today, because there is a global release date, applying to all countries, but evidently, this wasn't the case in 1995.

Hello, Mariah Carey's Daydream Album is certified 5x Platinum in New Zealand, can we fix this? 2804:214:8856:5CAA:17DD:96F:8B55:A0D2 ( talk) 02:39, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
Mariah Carey's album Daydream is certified 5x Platinum in New Zealand, but on the official Wikipedia page it is only platinum, can you correct that? 2804:214:8856:5CAA:17DD:96F:8B55:A0D2 ( talk) 02:40, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
Platinum certifications in New Zealand are 15,000 units for albums, not 10,000, so Daydream sales are 75,000 for being 5x PLATINUM :) source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_New_Zealand_Music_Chart Justabadguy ( talk) 18:10, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
