This page lists Evita as having shipped 2.5 million in the U.S, not forgetting though, the RIAA counts double album twice towards their certification, only when the album exceeds 100 minutes in length, Evita does not, it's 77 minutes, that means it's actually shipped 5 million through the U.S as of March 1999 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.195.33.197 ( talk) 10:10, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I have changed the opening from:
to
The old version seems to be a modification of the standard template "Foo is the nth studio album by Bar". In this case, category Category:Madonna (entertainer) soundtracks is heterogeneous...
Film | Album | Album credited to Madonna? | Tracks on album | Performed by M | Used in film | Performed by M in film | Written by M | Written by M and in film |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Evita (1996 film) | Evita (soundtrack) | No | 19 | 15 (9 non-solo) | 19 | 15 | 0 | 0 |
Dick Tracy (1990 film) | I'm Breathless | Yes | 12 | 12 (3 duets) | 6 | 3 | 6 | 0 |
Dick Tracy (soundtrack) | No | 16 | 0 | 10 | n/a | n/a | n/a | |
Dick Tracy OST by Danny Elfman | No | 16 | 0 | 16 | n/a | n/a | n/a | |
Who's That Girl (1987 film) | Who's That Girl (soundtrack) | Yes | 9 | 4 | 9 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
...and whether the album is "by" Madonna is debatable. I'm sure all Madonna fans will include it in her oeuvre, but what proportion of trade publications, chart companies, awards certifications bodies, etc credit it to her, or to the composers, or under the general OST, is a question that needs further research. jnestorius( talk) 23:59, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
I find the current claim that this is a Madonna album to be odd. What is said in the lead is not what is said in the source, and to interpret that as this soundtrack album being a Madonna album requires some original research. Certainly it contains Madonna, and she sings most of the songs, but the music and production were not under her control. On this album she is a hired hand. SilkTork ( talk) 09:07, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
I think it is possible that it would be valid to class and group this as a Madonna album, but as it stands at the moment there is no evidence for that other than listings, and given that some listings group it under Madonna, while others group it under Various, and others under Lloyd Weber/Time Rice that we need to look more closely at the issue, and get a statement that is sourced and agreeable.

Brought over from Bluesatellite's talkpage:
An edit war is starting up here. The source does not say " it is considered a Madonna album since she sang the majority of the songs", it says: "Evita, starring Madonna, saw its soundtrack released on Nov. 12, 1996, in advance of the musical film’s premiere in limited theatrical release on Dec. 25. The album, which featured Madonna on most of its tracks, bowed at No. 6 on the Billboard 200, but then fell out of the top 20 in its second week, sliding all the way down to No. 28." The line "featured Madonna on most of its tracks" says that she sang most of the tracks, it does not say that because of that it is considered a Madonna album - indeed, the wording is more neutral and inclines toward saying that its a soundtrack album. I am adjusting the wording again in line with what the source says per WP:OR: "Wikipedia articles must not contain original research. The phrase "original research" (OR) is used on Wikipedia to refer to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist. This includes any analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to reach or imply a conclusion not stated by the sources." Please do not simply revert again. Please address the concerns and put forward on the talkpage your rationale and evidence for this soundtrack album being considered a Madonna album. You may well be right. But until that can be proved via reliable sources we should not be making such statements. SilkTork ( talk) 10:32, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
