The EP "Hitmixes" should be included in the discography page.
It has a physical release in US and Canada, and it has peaked at #8 in the Canadian Albums Chart: http://www.billbaord.com/bbcom/esearch/chart_display.jsp?cfi=309&cfgn=Albums&cfn=Top+Canadian+Albums&ci=3112305&cdi=10339200&cid=09%2F19%2F2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nympho wiki ( talk • contribs) 16:53, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

I propose a new discussion on the charts that are used on the Gaga discography. I think it should show up the European Hot 100 and The European Albums since it shows how it (album or single) has done in Europe, the Eurochart represents many countries from Europe continent and is more important than charts included in the discography, like New Zealand and Norway! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zefron12 ( talk • contribs) 00:00, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

I know of some Gaga songs that aren't included in this article, such as Shake Ur Kitty, Rock Show and Dirty Ice Cream. What is the origin of these songs? -- uKER ( talk) 17:41, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
We can't use "Notes: 1 In certain territories, The Fame Monster charted in conjunction with The Fame under the same title.". A example: we cannot say "The Fame Monster" debuted at number seven in the UK, because the chart attached Monster sales to the first "The Fame" album. I mean, the seventh position does not include only Monster sales but Fame sales too, so we can't add those positions to Monster table - they are Fame positions, not Monster. The charted version is also the Deluxe Version - which is labelled as a re-release of The Fame -, not the solo Fame Monster. Sorry if I couldn't explain what I think very weel, I tried my best. If you have any questions about my what I've said, feel free to ask them. Decodet ( talk) 00:25, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

I agree, merge them and use the highest peakes and call it The Fame and The Fame Monster in brackets. Lady Gaga and her label can consider it a new album but it's released as a re-issue to retailers and music sites so that's what it should be on here. Jayy008 ( talk) 17:53, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Red and Blue is now being sold on Amazon here. Only problem is, I'm pretty sure it's unofficial, as it includes Second Time Around on it which is a relatively new song. Regardless, it's been past Amazon's filters, so can we add it? Tikkuy ( talk) 04:28, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
I'm unsure of whether or not this makes a difference to your discussion, but Red and Blue was actually legitimately sold as an EP in The Bitter End, which considering its reputability and notoriety, not to mention legitimate distribution, may warrant inclusion of Red and Blue in the discography, although it was not chart-able. (And she did get paid royalties for the purchases.) I don't know for sure, but I'm just trying to help. [16], [17], [18], [19] Musykboy ( talk) 21:53, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Someone recently decided not to simply move or change the 'Other appearances' section, but completely delete it. This is a section that many people have worked hard on to get reliable info and it deserves to be on the page as there is nowhere else on Wikipedia where this information would go. For example, the songs Don't Give Up and Future Love are now not referenced anywhere in the page, and Big Girl Now and Christmas Tree are only mentioned in the charts area. Please look at the page Sean Garrett discography and other discography pages to see that these kind of pages are not only for songs that the artist has sung. They also include songs that they have written and produced. Discuss? Tikkuy ( talk) 08:35, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Per WP:COMPOSER, composers should have their work listed in a separate discography article. Before Lady GaGa broke out as a performer, she had a considerable career as a writer. Nearly all of the articles referenced in the main Lady GaGa article not only find her earlier work as a writer notable, but devote most of their articles to it. Songs which Lady GaGa has written for other artists are obviously notable. I would point out that Legolas, besides violating WP:CIVILITY, is mistaken about his being in consensus. Myself being no particular fan or detractor of Lady GaGa, it is clear from reading anything about Lady GaGa in unbiased news sources that her work as a writer is not only notable but necessary for a balanced and nonbiased portrayal of her work. The section covering her work as a writer for other artists should be restored MarcelB612 ( talk) 18:22, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
Hello. I am restoring the following credits from this version of the page, from August 17th:
I consider MarcelB612's rationale regarding WP:COMPOSER highly credible. Regardless of the notability of each individual song, the well-established notability of the composer is sufficient justification for their inclusion. Furthermore, Gaga's career as a composer is clearly notable, and is mentioned in the lead paragraph of the article Lady Gaga. POKERdance's argument is petty deletionism: the presence of Gaga's early credits is of natural interest to anyone who reads said lead paragraph, and the presence of these songs does not harm this article in any way. Regarding Legolas's point, there is, in fact, no set policy governing the content of "discography" articles - if this article would better serve the readership of Wikipedia as a "songography", then there is no reason not to adjust its content accordingly. The guidelines at WikiProject Discographies/style have not been finalized, and the production and refinement of articles like this is an important step in determining best practices going forward.
More of Gaga's early songwriting credits are available at the Gagapedia. With the exception of leaked and unreleased songs (for which I accept POKERdance's arguments against inclusion), the contents of this article should be added here over time.
n.b. I have invited ξ xplicit (née Diverse Mentality), Andrewlp1991, IllaZilla, Contains Mild Peril, and John Cardinal to participate in this discussion on the basis of their contributions to the "discography" vs. "songography" controversy at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Discographies/style. I have tried to include everyone who seemed interested in the question. If opposed parties have other contributors they wish to notify, I encourage them to do so, in order to better form a consensus on this topic. Thank you all. -- Peter Farago ( talk) 08:09, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
The Fame Monster charts with the Fame in the UK, so at the moment the table shows a Number 1 position for both albums.
But the problem is The Fame on its own has peaked at no 1, but it hasn't done since the release of The Fame Monster. Since November, The Fame + The Fame Monster combined has only peaked at no 2. Humdrum101 ( talk) 16:14, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

The answers are:
I think Lady Gaga should have a collum for Pop songs(mainstream top 40) or Dance songs because that is her specific genre and it would only be fair to see how she does under that catagory as well. Taylor Swift had a second catagory for US country, Beyonce has US R&B, Lil Wayne has US rap AND R&B, and the list goes on and on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.251.202.93 ( talk) 15:41, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
Pop Songs is not a component chart. Also I really don't care about the 10-chart limit; it is nonsense. I think adding Pop Songs chart is a good idea. Also, only US and Canada have official genre airplay charts. Langdon ( talk) 04:22, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Recently, there has been news of a new Lady GaGa CD called "The Remix". Its a Remix album being released in Japan only. However, for some reason, this has been put under EP's. This Should be put under Album's (or complication Album), becuase it has 16 tracks. (thats more tracks than The Fame orginally had). So i dont think its a EP. But becuase it's not a studio album, its been placed in EP. We should make a new Catagory on the template for Complication album's or something. And why was the article deleted?

Singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face" have sold over 5 million copies in the United States, but the RIAA states them as only being certified "4x Platinum;" my point being that these two should be kept to their respected certifications. After reviewing the list of Lady Gaga's certifications, both "LoveGame" and "Paparazzi" have not reached "2x Platinum" certifications; thus, they should be restored to their respected RIAA certification of "Platinum" status. Also, "Bad Romance" has only been certified "Platinum," and should be kept as having only that despite the reports of multi-million sales. I reverted "Poker Face," "Just Dance," and "Bad Romance" back to their correct RIAA certification; I felt it necessary to address that incorrect changes were made to these respected singles. Drakehottie ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:49, 4 May 2010 (UTC).
Right now, we don't have any problem with the certifications being displayed in the singles table, since she has released only six singles so far. But imagine if she release ten more singles and all of them get at least two certifications... we won't have sufficient space and it will be hard to display. Shouldn't we do something similar to Rihanna discography (a featured discography) and Katy Perry discography here and list all certifications in a separate table and sub-section? Decodet ( talk) 16:51, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
I was just about to start a separate topic about this. I think it looks unsightly as well, and looks much better the Rihanna/Katy Perry discography pages way.

I'm not sure if this has been previously discussed, but why not add in other international charts into the discography table to give a more comprehensive look at how her singles have fared in more countries besides the ones already stated. Of course, there is no point suggesting charts where only one or two of her singles have been released (ie Japan, Bulgaria, Romania, Norway, Spain, Russia, Italy & Slovakia), but how about Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland & Switzerland? They have 5/6 of her singles released there (if not counting Eh, Eh, then Austria, Finland & Switzerland would have 5/5 singles charted), not to mention 5 number "1"s between the 3 countries and 9 "1"s amongst the 5 countries.

Honestly, there's been an on-going dispute about the actual worldwide figures of "The Fame;" some say that we must be reliant on the previously mentioned eight million sold, while others point out that the figures are more than ten million. Thus far, the only reliable source is the one stating that the album has sold eight million worldwide. I bring this up because, like other major albums, it should be mentioned how well the album has done commercially. So, I think it should be mentioned that "The Fame" has sold at least eight million copies worldwide. Though the source is dated, it's one of the only credible sources providing the evidence of worldwide sales. Drakehottie 12 June 2010, 13:50

Thank you, for posting the Canadian Hitmixes in the discography, but I might add that as far as this release went, it was a Limited Edition release of 25,000 CD copies only, and was not issued as a digital release. Amazon.ca lists it as a limited edition release. thanks again! —Preceding

Fair comment Mister sparky, and a valid point. I do wonder however, then what is the point of listing all the various country specific variations of the iTunes downloads? Surely physical releases should take priority? There aren't THAT many for Gaga. On a seperate point, 'another' editor (guess who) continues to delete both the Hitmixes EP and The Remix album, seemingly refusing to believe they are official releases, despite all the evidence to the contrary!

I don't think "Chillin'" should be grouped with Lady Gaga's solo singles. I think it detracts from the fact that she's had SEVEN top 10 songs in a row. I think "Chillin'" should be under its own category such as "Featured singles" or "Collaborations." It appears that most people would agree that "Chillin'" be separated. Who is making the final decision here? The majority should get the say. —Preceding unsigned comment added by D bovair1988 ( talk • contribs) 16:15, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
Why is "Chillin'" listed as one of Lady Gaga's singles? It technically is not HER single, so it should be on a separate section--"Featured Singles" which should also include Beyonce's "Video Phone." —Preceding unsigned comment added by CarlosKARUROSU ( talk • contribs) 03:58, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
The paragraph about TFM music videos gives a negative impression. "Telephone"'s reviews were mostly positive and "Alejandro"'s mixed, however only the negative ones are stated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.152.70.12 ( talk) 08:17, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
(←) "Video Phone" was a remix and counted towards the original, solo version on the charts, therefore it will not be added. "Chillin" shall remain with everything else regardless of how unsuccessful it was; there is only one single Gaga has featured on and that's unnecessary to split it up. In a few years, if she's featured on more than several singles, I'll be willing to revisit this discussion. But right now? Absolutely not. – Chase ( talk) 19:11, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
(Outdent) There's the glitch that the IP points out that, saying they were controversial is not bad, but you need to point out the general review whether it was controversially accepted in god faith like "Telephone", or was rejected like "Alejandro". — Legolas (talk2me) 03:19, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Legolas, please do explain what you mean by this statement of yours above next is the inclusion of Italy over Ireland (Italy is minor to Ireland), why you think Ireland is a more important market and why Italy is a neglected market, are you even familiar with which market generates what portion of the sales. You need to familiarize yourself with the certification-award-levels of each market at least, if you are going to pick and choose which market goes first. Italy's certification-award-level is: Platinum=70,000 and Gold=35,000, as for Ireland, the Platinum=15,000, Gold=7,500. -- Harout72 ( talk) 05:44, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Legolas2186, I think you are innocently misinformed about the market share. Yes, certification-award-levels do not determine who goes first on the list, but what each market generates determines their certification-level. And no, Italy's not below Ireland when viewed from a market level. Yes, Italy as many other markets largely depend on digital downloads, but that doesn't mean physical sales doesn't play an important role in their market. Chase, that's ok, I understand that you guys are used to seeing Ireland in every discography page, my main focus is to cover the larger markets first then the medium size ones. And with limited 10 slots, smallest markets should be left out. Let's leave Ireland in if that's what most editors want to see.-- Harout72 ( talk) 06:12, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Yes, you're right, if an artist doesn't chart in a market, then inclusion of it wouldn't make sense. But such is not the case as Gaga has charted in Italy with almost all of her materials. We are covering information about sales and chart performance, how is the sizes can be irrelevant? Anyways, you and I chose Italy only because Japan's peaks are difficult to locate. Let's just hope the certifications of Japan and Germany do not mysteriously disappear with Legolas2186 claiming now that they are below Ireland on a market level.-- Harout72 ( talk) 06:29, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

We can't use "Notes: 1 In certain territories, The Fame Monster charted in conjunction with The Fame under the same title.". A example: we cannot say "The Fame Monster" debuted at number seven in the UK, because the chart attached Monster sales to the first "The Fame" album. I mean, the seventh position does not include only Monster sales but Fame sales too, so we can't add those positions to Monster table - they are Fame positions, not Monster. The charted version is also the Deluxe Version - which is labelled as a re-release of The Fame -, not the solo Fame Monster. Sorry if I couldn't explain what I think very weel, I tried my best.

I'm unsure of whether or not this makes a difference to your discussion, but Red and Blue was actually legitimately sold as an EP in The Bitter End, which considering its reputability and notoriety, not to mention legitimate distribution, may warrant inclusion of Red and Blue in the discography, although it was not chart-able.

Someone recently decided not to simply move or change the 'Other appearances' section, but completely delete it. This is a section that many people have worked hard on to get reliable info and it deserves to be on the page as there is nowhere else on Wikipedia where this information would go. For example, the songs Don't Give Up and Future Love are now not referenced anywhere in the page, and Big Girl Now and Christmas Tree are only mentioned in the charts area. Please look at the page Sean Garrett discography and other discography pages to see that these kind of pages are not only for songs that the artist has sung. They also include songs that they have written and produced. Discuss? Tikkuy ( talk) 08:35, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Per WP:COMPOSER, composers should have their work listed in a separate discography article. Before Lady GaGa broke out as a performer, she had a considerable career as a writer. Nearly all of the articles referenced in the main Lady GaGa article not only find her earlier work as a writer notable, but devote most of their articles to it. Songs which Lady GaGa has written for other artists are obviously notable. I would point out that Legolas, besides violating WP:CIVILITY, is mistaken about his being in consensus. Myself being no particular fan or detractor of Lady GaGa, it is clear from reading anything about Lady GaGa in unbiased news sources that her work as a writer is not only notable but necessary for a balanced and nonbiased portrayal of her work. The section covering her work as a writer for other artists should be restored MarcelB612 ( talk) 18:22, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
Hello. I am restoring the following credits from this version of the page, from August 17th:
I consider MarcelB612's rationale regarding WP:COMPOSER highly credible. Regardless of the notability of each individual song, the well-established notability of the composer is sufficient justification for their inclusion. Furthermore, Gaga's career as a composer is clearly notable, and is mentioned in the lead paragraph of the article Lady Gaga. POKERdance's argument is petty deletionism: the presence of Gaga's early credits is of natural interest to anyone who reads said lead paragraph, and the presence of these songs does not harm this article in any way. Regarding Legolas's point, there is, in fact, no set policy governing the content of "discography" articles - if this article would better serve the readership of Wikipedia as a "songography", then there is no reason not to adjust its content accordingly. The guidelines at WikiProject Discographies/style have not been finalized, and the production and refinement of articles like this is an important step in determining best practices going forward.
More of Gaga's early songwriting credits are available at the Gagapedia. With the exception of leaked and unreleased songs (for which I accept POKERdance's arguments against inclusion), the contents of this article should be added here over time.
n.b. I have invited ξ xplicit (née Diverse Mentality), Andrewlp1991, IllaZilla, Contains Mild Peril, and John Cardinal to participate in this discussion on the basis of their contributions to the "discography" vs. "songography" controversy at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Discographies/style.

If opposed parties have other contributors they wish to notify, I encourage them to do so, in order to better form a consensus on this topic.

Singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face" have sold over 5 million copies in the United States, but the RIAA states them as only being certified "4x Platinum;" my point being that these two should be kept to their respected certifications. After reviewing the list of Lady Gaga's certifications, both "LoveGame" and "Paparazzi" have not reached "2x Platinum" certifications; thus, they should be restored to their respected RIAA certification of "Platinum" status. Also, "Bad Romance" has only been certified "Platinum," and should be kept as having only that despite the reports of multi-million sales. I reverted "Poker Face," "Just Dance," and "Bad Romance" back to their correct RIAA certification; I felt it necessary to address that incorrect changes were made to these respected singles.

Right now, we don't have any problem with the certifications being displayed in the singles table, since she has released only six singles so far. But imagine if she release ten more singles and all of them get at least two certifications... we won't have sufficient space and it will be hard to display.

I'm not sure if this has been previously discussed, but why not add in other international charts into the discography table to give a more comprehensive look at how her singles have fared in more countries besides the ones already stated. Of course, there is no point suggesting charts where only one or two of her singles have been released (ie Japan, Bulgaria, Romania, Norway, Spain, Russia, Italy & Slovakia), but how about Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland & Switzerland? They have 5/6 of her singles released there (if not counting Eh, Eh, then Austria, Finland & Switzerland would have 5/5 singles charted), not to mention 5 number "1"s between the 3 countries and 9 "1"s amongst the 5 countries.

Honestly, there's been an on-going dispute about the actual worldwide figures of "The Fame;" some say that we must be reliant on the previously mentioned eight million sold, while others point out that the figures are more than ten million. Thus far, the only reliable source is the one stating that the album has sold eight million worldwide. I bring this up because, like other major albums, it should be mentioned how well the album has done commercially. So, I think it should be mentioned that "The Fame" has sold at least eight million copies worldwide. Though the source is dated, it's one of the only credible sources providing the evidence of worldwide sales. Drakehottie 12 June 2010, 13:50

Ok this is getting ridiculous - Lady Gaga HERSELF announced on twitter February 26 that the Fame had sold TEN million worldwide. http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7017944759 And even if you dispute this, how could her sales not move from eight million in the FIVE months since it was updated to eight million ? Her album has been charting in the Billboard Top 20 for FIVE months since then, yet her sales figures haven't moved from eight million? How is this possible??? I'm changing it BACK to ten million. The problem is, LGG announced it was 10 million in February, so it's even more now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.186.228.10 ( talk) 06:43, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Why is the Hitmixes EP STILL not listed? Why is The DJ Vice Megamix promotional single not listed? Why do the German 4-track "Poker Face" CD single, BOTH the German Lovegame CD singles and BOTH the German Paparazzi CD singles remain unlisted? This discography is hopelessly out of date and remains far too biased in favour of download 'releases'.
I have tried and tried to get these physical releases up and listed but in vain. Everytime I try 'someone' deletes them. Until they are, the discography remains incomplete. Maybe someone else should have a go? Davidkt 17:47, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
Thank you, for posting the Canadian Hitmixes in the discography, but I might add that as far as this release went, it was a Limited Edition release of 25,000 CD copies only, and was not issued as a digital release. Amazon.ca lists it as a limited edition release. thanks again! —Preceding

Fair comment Mister sparky, and a valid point. I do wonder however, then what is the point of listing all the various country specific variations of the iTunes downloads? Surely physical releases should take priority? There aren't THAT many for Gaga. On a seperate point, 'another' editor (guess who) continues to delete both the Hitmixes EP and The Remix album, seemingly refusing to believe they are official releases, despite all the evidence to the contrary! This is getting tiresome and makes the discography continually inaccurate. Maybe someone can have a word? Davidkt 12:29, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

in English, " Jap" is an ethnic slur. -- 211.16.220.76 ( talk) 04:23, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
Shouldn't this be removed? This article is about Gaga's official releases, not random non-single songs she wrote for other people. – Chase ( talk) 01:01, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
Is there some reason the peak positions in the Republic of Ireland are missing from the studio albums box? Nearly a hundred thousand more people live there than in New Zealand (which I'm not saying should be replaced). Ireland's GDP is also very substantially greater, although I'm too lazy to compare sales. DinDraithou ( talk) 01:32, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
I don't mind at all replacing New Zealand's peak with Ireland's as it make no difference to me, but I believe, the same could be said about Ireland since we already have UK's peak in the table.-- Harout72 ( talk) 20:31, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
All I'm going to say is that New Zealand is not part of Australia. And if you think thats the case Ireland is part of the UK to then. Canada is part of the US. And the list goes on. So NO New Zealand is not part of Australia and is happily not (: —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.238.96.26 ( talk) 01:35, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
With this proposal, I feel that this will create consistency throughout the article, while satisfying User:Harout72's concerns that the German and Japanese charts are being neglected and my concern that with Gaga as an American dance-pop artist, the US dance charts should remain.
Year | Album details | Peak chart positions | Sales |
Certifications ( sales thresholds) | ||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
US | US Dance | AUS | CAN | FRA | GER | JPN | NZ | SWE | SWI | UK |
Order shall remain the same for the singles. This leaves ten slots for individual countries as well as one for the American dance chart, for a total of 11. If there are no issues with this proposal, I would be glad to implement this structure throughout. – Chase ( talk) 21:04, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
That'll do it, thanks for discussing. -- Harout72 ( talk) 21:47, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
Note: After discussing with User:Harout72, we reached an agreement that the Japanese charts should be replaced with the Italian ones as they are more easily verifiable. – Chase ( talk) 00:43, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
I know "Chillin'" has to be placed under singles but when it mentions how many singles she has had, it should be 9, not 10, because "Chillin'" is a feautred single, not a single by HER. 74.105.208.27 ( talk) 17:29, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
She released an EP called Red And Blue before she became Lady Gaga, still not sure when it was released. It should be added to the Extended Plays section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.7.81.4 ( talk) 22:45, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
The 10 countries should be: US / AUS / AUT / CAN / FRA / GER / IRE / SPA / SWE / UK Spain is a much bigger market than Switzerland, if there is no objection Spain should replace SWI. Nympho wiki ( talk) 15:52, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
I don't think "Chillin'" should be grouped with Lady Gaga's solo singles. I think it detracts from the fact that she's had SEVEN top 10 songs in a row. I think "Chillin'" should be under its own category such as "Featured singles" or "Collaborations." It appears that most people would agree that "Chillin'" be separated. Who is making the final decision here? The majority should get the say. —Preceding unsigned comment added by D bovair1988 ( talk • contribs) 16:15, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
Why is "Chillin'" listed as one of Lady Gaga's singles? It technically is not HER single, so it should be on a separate section--"Featured Singles" which should also include Beyonce's "Video Phone." —Preceding unsigned comment added by CarlosKARUROSU ( talk • contribs) 03:58, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
The paragraph about TFM music videos gives a negative impression. "Telephone"'s reviews were mostly positive and "Alejandro"'s mixed, however only the negative ones are stated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.152.70.12 ( talk) 08:17, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
(←) "Video Phone" was a remix and counted towards the original, solo version on the charts, therefore it will not be added. "Chillin" shall remain with everything else regardless of how unsuccessful it was; there is only one single Gaga has featured on and that's unnecessary to split it up. In a few years, if she's featured on more than several singles, I'll be willing to revisit this discussion. But right now? Absolutely not. – Chase ( talk) 19:11, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
(Outdent) There's the glitch that the IP points out that, saying they were controversial is not bad, but you need to point out the general review whether it was controversially accepted in god faith like "Telephone", or was rejected like "Alejandro". — Legolas (talk2me) 03:19, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Legolas, please do explain what you mean by this statement of yours above next is the inclusion of Italy over Ireland (Italy is minor to Ireland), why you think Ireland is a more important market and why Italy is a neglected market, are you even familiar with which market generates what portion of the sales. You need to familiarize yourself with the certification-award-levels of each market at least, if you are going to pick and choose which market goes first. Italy's certification-award-level is: Platinum=70,000 and Gold=35,000, as for Ireland, the Platinum=15,000, Gold=7,500. -- Harout72 ( talk) 05:44, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Legolas2186, I think you are innocently misinformed about the market share. Yes, certification-award-levels do not determine who goes first on the list, but what each market generates determines their certification-level. And no, Italy's not below Ireland when viewed from a market level. Yes, Italy as many other markets largely depend on digital downloads, but that doesn't mean physical sales doesn't play an important role in their market. Chase, that's ok, I understand that you guys are used to seeing Ireland in every discography page, my main focus is to cover the larger markets first then the medium size ones. And with limited 10 slots, smallest markets should be left out. Let's leave Ireland in if that's what most editors want to see.-- Harout72 ( talk) 06:12, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Yes, you're right, if an artist doesn't chart in a market, then inclusion of it wouldn't make sense. But such is not the case as Gaga has charted in Italy with almost all of her materials. We are covering information about sales and chart performance, how is the sizes can be irrelevant? Anyways, you and I chose Italy only because Japan's peaks are difficult to locate. Let's just hope the certifications of Japan and Germany do not mysteriously disappear with Legolas2186 claiming now that they are below Ireland on a market level.-- Harout72 ( talk) 06:29, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
What's all this talk of "Speechless" being a single? Unsourced, so i took it down. GOPTeen1995 ( talk) 16:39, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
