Dear member, why are you threatening me and being very abusive. All i asked you to do was provide sourced information to why you dispute my edit and yet you failed to provide and now make some sort allegation. i have escaulated the matter to the Tearoom for an assistant as I feel you may be overstepping your boundaries.
Kindest regards

Hi there, I just noticed your edit on the Matt Goss about the dubious claim on the 5 million albums sale (I get this needs citing so it's fine). This is a true fact of Matt's career as he's released a few solo albums and had a lot of success for writing for other artists too however I wanted you to see if you could kindly look into this as if you google "Matt Goss 5 Million Albums" there is quite a few sources (Daily Mail being one but I know that's not a reputable source for Wikipedia) however there is the Sunday Morning Herald here: https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/bros-and-the-dark-times-behind-their-bouncy-pop-20170502-gvxlit.html, Star Scene here: https://whatsmyscene.com/star-scene-matt-goss-luke-goss-bros/ and also Digital Journal in Vegas here: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/279447. If you could be so kind to amend this with the source you feel fits (or even if you can find a better source out there as there are a few) then just use the one you feel is the best and feels fit as I'm unsure which you'd prefer. I'm not sure who added the original source/fact in regards to Matt selling the 5 million albums but obviously it's a case of getting the right source for this (which I understand). When you've got time of course and thanks as it would really help if you could do this and you've been great so thank you!! :) Music Editor 2017 ( talk) 15:59, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi Nqr9, just following up to your response (Thank you!). I'm not sure how you do the reply there as I'm still learning the ropes with a lot of the coding and the talk pages etc.. so kindly excuse me if there was a way for me to reply on my page so you'd be notified too. But yeah, I'm not sure who put the original text into the Matt Goss article in regards to where they were coming from so maybe this also needs to be written a little better because this is something that Matt has done as he's also been writing for other artists and had success there with albums sold too as well as his own (also it's very important to bare in mind a lot of Matt's album releases sold units over time as opposed to a quick release and chart hit which is why some of it isn't charted but sold the amount in total if you get what I mean), it's a little like Beastie Boys with their Paul's Boutique album, the album only went to 44 in the UK and never charted higher BUT it sold absolutely loads over a period of time hence why the chart positions aren't something you can completely go by, see the Paul's Boutique article as the album ended up being certified double platinum but never charted higher than 44 in the UK which was the similar in all demographics, the highest it got was 14 in the US yet it's still a double platinum selling record. That said, I get what you mean about the info being vague (IE Total albums with Bros, total as Matt solo or total with Matt albums he's released and written for) but I believe this is outside his Bros career. He's written for Billy Crawford, Keri Hilson and I believe he had a lot of success in Asia or something too, you can see a lot of it here: https://www.allmusic.com/artist/matt-goss-mn0000379833/credits and also here: https://www.discogs.com/artist/75129-Matt-Goss?limit=500&filter_anv=0&type=Credits&page=1 but even these are a little incomplete. I do feel it should be cited on the page as I feel it's a little unfair that it isn't but I also agree that it does need to be more specific and less vague which is what those sources from those other articles referred to, I'll let you decide which is fair but it is something I do feel should be looked into and not disregarded so easily however I have no idea who put the original text (I just added the additional source) in the article citing this so it should have been more clear. I guess it's a compromise really and getting it right if it's to be included. Thanks Music Editor 2017 ( talk) 16:27, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi, just want to say thank you for the tip, I appreciate that and will bear that in mind. Please bare with me with the odd little mistakes, I'm doing my best to do things right the best I can and I appreciate your help in regards to guiding me so just wanted to say thank you, I wouldn't be able to improve without your help.

Hey Nqr9, would you be able to, when you get time, add the Australian peaks of Slade to their discography page? I just came across their discography again, and saw in October, Wozza20 reformatted the page and excluded (again, likely because he couldn't access the data) the Australian data. Considering charts should be on the included on the basis of how successful artists were on them, perhaps the Austrian, Canadian or Dutch columns could be replaced in the albums sections, and the Canadian column in the singles section with the Australian data? Thanks a lot if you can! Ss 112 08:09, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
Hey Nqr9, another chart request: Would you be able to see if Chicago have charted decently in Australia? Like, as in, would it be worth including their Australian history on Chicago discography? If you think it is, would you be able to add it there? I'm just not sure how many out of their many albums and singles charted here. Thanks! Ss 112 07:47, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I checked and while there is no definite year of release (the planned UK release was not issued), discogs lists 1990 as the year of release on the Netherlands, Spanish, Scandinavian and French releases. By logic it should have been issued after the release of the title track as a single in November 1990. The only place where it charted was in Sweden in mid-January 1991 so it was probably issued in December 1990 in some countries and later in early 1991 in others. I have the 2009 reissue and all of the songs have 1990 copyright credits.

Hi Nqr9, Thanks for your recent chat on my talk page. Appreciate the feedback. I will take you up on the offer to see if you can find the release date of The Very Best of Collette and Sharon O'Neill.

Hey Nqr9, as you have access to David Kent's chart book(s), would you be able to check if the peaks added here and here by the user Musicality123 are correct? Also, if you get time, would you be able to look through some of their recent contributions (where they have added thousands of bytes of data to album articles) and verify some of the Australian peaks? They continually cite books such as Kent's, as well as one about Zimbabwean album peaks, and I'm not sure where they're sourcing said information from as I'm pretty sure they don't actually own the books themselves. Thanks. Ss 112 09:47, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Hey there, I'm taking you up on the offer to help with some ARIA chart positions. I was wondering if you could advise if Renee Geyer had any charting album/ single in the mid-1990s - 2000s. I am in the process of tidying up her article (and the albums). I have created a discography page and got a lot of data from the Kent Music Report book that I have (up to 1988).
I was hoping you could help with any non-top 50 albums post 1988 -> Specifically Seven Deadly Sins [soundtrack] (1993), Difficult Woman (1994), The Best of Renée Geyer - 1973-1998 (1998), Tonight (2005), Dedicated (2007), Renaissance (2009) & The Ultimate Collection (2010). If you have any of this info, could you please update the discography page please? Thank you in advance. Tobyjamesaus ( talk) 11:33, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
Hello Nqr9, I'm currently editing Invertigo which also includes information on its earlier incarnation as Vertigo. If you have time available could you check 50-100 charting/release dates for the two groups? Thanks in anticipation. shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 01:07, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi buddy, I have noticed your extended work regarding retrieving Australian chart positions for many artists in Wikipedia. I am currently working on discography article for Ofra Haza, and would much appreciate if you'd spare some time in my favor and obtain her music entries in ARIA charts. Not urgent though as it will take me a week or so to finish the article, still let me know when you have a moment if that would be possible eventually. Thank you for your time and work.

Hello Nqr9 – I've been on a Wikibreak for several months (various reasons) and just seen the message you left on my talk page regarding the above video that you uploaded, thank you for that. At the moment I'm more keen on getting the previous album Soul Mining up to somewhere near GA status, and then I'll move on to Infected, but my Wikipedia work will be a bit more sporadic than it was before, so it'll take some time.

Hey Nqr9, I am going to spend a bit of time tidying up Mondo Rock's pages (similarly to what I did with Dragon (band)); formatting, adding references & chart boxes etc. A lot of their articles reference ARIA chart positions prior to their commencement. I have the Kent Music Report book (1970-1992) so I can get/confirm those ones, but wondering if they had any singles/ albums that charted on the ARIA chart (from 1988)? I doubt there would be many (if any). Anyway, no rush, appreciate the feedback/ help. Cheers. Tobyjamesaus ( talk) 08:40, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi! I saw that you sent me a message the other day about my changes to the Going Backwards section of Depeche Mode discography. What is wrong with it? On the Going Backwards page there are two sources from iTunes that state that the song peaked at these numbers. Maybe iTunes charts don't count but you don't need to accuse me of vandalism.

Hey Nathan, just wondering if you know: did Aretha Franklin's version of " Respect" go to number 1 on any chart in Australia? I was thinking, after I saw the number 1 peak listed on the article, that it was either wrong or the Go-Set peak. Either way, I changed it to number 14 per Kent's chart book. On that note, how different were/are the Go-Set charts from Kent's archival records, anyway? Are there any substantial differences for songs you know of? Ss 112 23:20, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
Nqr9, would you mind having a look at some of the year-end charts that the user JGabbard has been adding over the past few days? For instance, in Here Comes the Rain Again#Year-end charts, he's added a year-end ranking of 108 in Australia for the year 1984, with a citation from Kent's book. Now I don't own those books, but I've used them in the British Library, and I'm pretty sure they only list the top 25 singles and albums for each year. I know Kent provided lists up to the top 100 in his reports at the time during the 1980s, but they're not readily available nowadays, and I don't know where JGabbard has got a placing of 108 from for this record?

Hi Nqr9, I was hoping you could let me know of any post top-50 ARIA chart positions for any of Debbie/Debra Byrne songs/albums please.

Hi Nqr9, just wanted to set the record straight here, I have no idea what a sock puppet is and who tom watson is, I am from the UK and have a keen interest in the UK Charts, my only intention is to improve an artists discography and don't want to step on anyones toes or anything with regards to edits, perhaps we can reach some sort of compromise with regards to the Rock Chart issue, I will implement the chart when it is relevant to UK artists and/or with smaller singles discographies, adding the Rock Chart to certain artists was my way to acknowledge that certain artists have achieved #1's in a world where rock music is increasing becoming irrelevant in the modern charts.
Hope we can work together in the future to improve and implement greater chart information in the future.

Dear David I contacting you with regards your article you created about the time, if I may like to introduce myself, My Name is Tony Knight and I have spent the past 30 years following the history of Bros, Matt and Luke Goss. I was adding content about the Time album this to include the album 3 million worldwide sales also including the Track chart history UK and Ireland and Europe Asia. I am being targeted by a Australian member who goes under the NQR9 who removes accurately sourced content and then starts bulling members, I have emailed this person they confirmed they have no knowledge bros history and have no access to any official bros merchandise can you help. I have 30.000 pieces of bros official magazines interviews limited edition articles. can you help — Preceding unsigned comment added by BrosHistory ( talk • contribs) 13:20, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi Tom, thanks for informing me of the alleged sock puppet. I will keep an eye out for him and if he or she persistently vandalizes the discographies that I am trying to maintain and if it gets really bad then I may launch a sock puppet investigation. The problem is in order to do that you have to gather the evidence from multiple articles that have been abused by the same user. By the way there is such thing as the UK Rock chart, which is an official chart, but I don't think it started until 1994, and can actually be sourced from the Official Charts Company website. Before that time there were various rock/alternative charts but they were from private publishers such as NME magazine. Cheers. QuintusPetillius ( talk) 18:42, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
Cherry were an Australian all-girl pop group (ala Spice Girls) in the late 1990s which issued three singles. I'm not sure about their first single, "S.O.S." reaching No. 54 in about September 1999. I have no charting for second single, "I Want Your Love". I've found Hung Medien for third single, "Saddest Song", at No. 46 in July 1999.

Hi Nqr9, how are you? Just now I enjoyed reading on your user page that you enjoy correcting when "someone has put the chart entry date as the release date". I have been guilty of that in the past on at least one occasion, but at one point figured out about making the distinction. :)
I'm writing to you because I notice you made this edit [ [6]]. I'm looking at adding the fact that the album went gold in Australia as background in The Breeders Tour 2014 but I don't have access to the book by Gavin Ryan. By all indications, it seems you do? I'm hoping to possibly nominate the article for FAC—in which case normally I would want to have access to all sources myself to verify the info—but if it came down to it (for example, during the FAC review), you could vouch for me that the info is indeed present in the book? Could I also ask what page the info is on, by the way? Thank you. Moisejp ( talk) 16:40, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
@ Moisejp: Yes, the pdf version of the book was sold on a USB stick through http://ozmusicbooks.com/product/australias-music-charts-1988-2010/ , though it no longer seems to be listed/must have sold out. Out of interest, this site lists the printed copy of the book as being 650 pages, vs. 643 pages for the pdf. I assume the difference is due to the lack of blank pages in the pdf copy.

Hi Nqr9, just a quick question... there's an AfD discussion going on at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steeltown (band). The article for the band claims they had a no. 34 single in Australia in 1991, but we think that's a piece of fake promotion – nobody can find any information about them. Can you confirm that this group never had a chart hit in Australia? Thanks. Richard3120 ( talk) 14:47, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi again Nqr9, how are you? I hope you are well. I was wondering if I could ask you another question about charts, this one a little more general than my last question. I've always worked on music articles, and have always thought citing charts was pretty straight forward, using the Hung Median ones and a few other obvious ones like Billboard, UK Top 75, Canada RPM, etc. But right now as I am trying to clean up all the refs in an article ( Together Through Life), including the chart positions ones, I find myself questioning whether it is as simple as I thought.
So I start with here at Hung Median [ [7]], great, and I know I can click on each flag for that country's chart page, and cite that chart position in the article, which is what I've always done. But then I look at a page like Rebel Heart, where the charts section has links to music chart Wikipedia articles. For example, for the Australian charts, it has a link to ARIA Charts. Then if you go to that page and then at the bottom click the link to the official site, you get [ [8]]. But if on the Rebel Heart page you go to the reference for the Australian chart position, you get the Hung Median one [ [9]]. I think a given country can often have multiple organizations tracking chart positions (for example, Billboard and Cash Box in the USA). How do I know whether a given Wikipedia page may, or not, correspond with the Hung Median page, but just with a different name? In some cases, for example, Swiss Hitparade and Ultratop, the wiki page clearly corresponds to the Hung Median page, but in many cases they don't.
One option is I could avoid using the Hung Median pages and try to dig down into the official site, but some of these seem to be better than others for having archived chart lists available. Or another option still (what I've done in the past) is to not try to include a Wikipedia link for each chart, and to just use generic names like French Charts—but this option seems less than ideal if the Wikipedia articles are in fact available. Do you have any advice for me? Thanks in advance! Moisejp ( talk) 04:27, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi there!
So I have a quick questions regarding charts. Could you check the chart positions for singles from Portishead in Australia?.

Dear member I have no idea who you are or what your on about, you are not even based in the UK and you have not provided any content to disprove my edit, all you have done is made some ridiculous claim, which I believe your action breach WIKI editing and bulling policy, I feel you have no authority on Bros History, its clear you know nothing about the 30 year of bros. History. I have ask that you provide evidence that your credited in bros History and also ask that you provide a copy of bros FRONT OFFICIAL magazine this will prove what I added about Debbie Gibson is correct. if you can dispute my edits even though I 30.000 pieces of bros history and that I doing a bros history show in Manchester covering the 30 years of bros, why not provide an email address to I can send you a copy of the article.

Your recent editing history at Drive Me Crazy (song) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hi, I have noticed that you have added Top 100 Australian chart positions for many bands from the 1990's.

Hey Nrq9, Hope you're well. I am doing a little bit of work on the Slim Dusty discography.

Anyway, I have the Australian Chart Book 1970-1992 myself and so I've been able to access/ confirm Aus peaks in that from 1970-1988 + the ARIA top 50 positions.

Hi again, also, do you know know if Gina Jeffreys' The Flame charted? It was certified platinum but didn't make the top 50. Christmas Wish may also have been in the lower top 100. Are you able to check for me please? Thank you. Tobyjamesaus ( talk) 03:04, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
I moved the page because the main article is at Debbie Harry, and the article names should match to avoid confusion. Additionally, her Amazon discography is listed under Debbie, and at least some releases since 1989 credit her as such (e.g., this single with Moby). Mind you, if the main article were moved to Deborah, I'd have no objection to that. - Dewelar ( talk) 15:48, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, you recently reverted an edit I had made on the Tori Amos discography. Among the list of studio albums, Y Kant Tori Read is listed as her first studio album (which is correct, even though she recorded it with a band and not technically as a solo artist). Before my edit, the wiki link redirected to the page for the group Y Kant Tori Read rather than the album of the same name. This doesn't make sense to me since it is a list of studio albums and not bands, and thus the link should redirect to the album named Y Kant Tori Read. For some reason you reverted this edit back to linking to the band. Can you explain your decision? werewolf ( talk) 15:34, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

While I'm appreciative of the chart data you've previously shared with me and your telling me that ARIA answers chart queries sent to them via email, I think you're really reaching into trivial territory by including peaks lower than 200. We have to draw the line somewhere. There's plenty of reasons users don't include data this low or try to seek it out for other countries/charts. The reason I have never reached out to ARIA via email or sourced information to email correspondence is because namely I find email correspondence dubious as a source. I know you've previously had disagreements with editors about this, and I think it's entirely reasonable. I don't know if there's been a consensus on whether or not email correspondence is accepted as a source, but if it's used to add such low, trivial peaks I am all for disallowing it.
I know you will/do disagree, but charts have a threshold for a reason. If they went on forever or to a figure as low as 1000, what's the point of having a chart? Of what use to any regular reader is a peak as low as 887 or 1227? Truly—that would be indicative of single-digit sales. That is of no consequence or relevance. We might as well be saying "PJ Harvey sold a few downloads in Australia". Of course she did—most major musicians have fans everywhere. Their new releases will sell at least a few and probably rank in the top 2000 or whatever. We don't need a trivial peak to know this. It's common sense. Most editors are not going to care that PJ Harvey's songs that charted in no other major territory reached far below the 100-place threshold of the Australian chart and sold a few downloads to "rank" at 895. While I and certainly other editors have already drawn the line (considering nobody besides you adds such low peaks sourced to emails), I think you need to start drawing the line somewhere and choosing what data to include or seek out. Just because information exists or can be sought and sourced, does not mean it should be included on Wikipedia. It's getting into fancruft territory. I think if you keep including such trivial numbers and will not stop of your own accord/not see the point being made, there will need to be an RfC or consensus on this.

Hi Nqr9. I refer to your edit here: [10]. Personally i don't have a problem with this, I just haven't seen it done before. I wanted to ask you if you know if this is regarded as an acceptable way to reference charts, or if it was something you thought up yourself. I ask as if there's a guideline somewhere that states this is OK I might consider doing it myself in the future. I do unfortunately get the feeling that this is generally not acceptable, but hopefully I'm wrong. Also just for the record I'd draw the line at the top 200 as well though, anything lower than that is particularly trivial. Cheers. Damien Linnane ( talk) 13:59, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello again. I see in August, after we last spoke here in June, you rather appear to have changed your tune, saying to Damien Linnane above: "As for the beyond the top 200 being trivial, it's an arbitrary decision", whereas in June you said to me "If you feel inclined to remove these peaks, I won't challenge you" (as I suggested I would and still do). I have just noticed on Suzanne Vega discography late last month, you reverted AlligatorSky for removing one of these "ultra-low peaks"—number 516 (really?) for her album Retrospective. I understand you may have reverted AlligatorSky for saying that the peak was not sourced in any of the links provided when this was untrue, but if you were not bothered by editors challenging such low peaks, you could have just left a note for them correcting them and let it be. As you said in June, I shouldn't have "presume[d]" you would disagree with their removal, which, if not explicit agreement, certainly indicated you would agree/tolerate their removal. But it appears you do still rather want to defend their inclusion, whereas I'm sure if you think about it you know it gets to a point where they're trivial. I don't know about your position, but really the point of charts is not for them to go on forever so we can get down to what's number 10,000 this week and appease chart fanatics who are the only ones interested in such dismal rankings. We have to draw the line somewhere, and if that's an "arbitrary" line to you because ARIA used to calculate beyond a top 200, then so be it, but it's not as if ARIA made the information on such "chart positions" public (surely partially for the reason(s) I just mentioned?) until you enquired privately.
I was exaggerating for emphasis when I stated such low peaks would get to be "single-digit sales" (even though I still firmly believe if ARIA published sales figures for entries around 1000 or so they would probably get to be single-digit sales), but you appear to have run with this and used it as a quote to dismiss my entire perspective in a conversation with another editor. Like, come on. You know you've been questioned multiple times over this and other editors have either reverted you or challenged your inclusion of email correspondence previously (for example, I believe IndianBio did on Madonna articles, didn't he?). My point is it's trivial to begin with, and then to source them, you're relying on trivial emails, which are almost certainly unreliable and definitely not a preferred way to source information, even if not determined so by formal consensus.
I am not here to have a dig at you, and I am not here to have an extended back-and-forth so you can bring something up about me that you've noticed as you tend to do whenever we talk, particularly if you're at my talk page and reading other threads before yours. I noticed this from Suzanne Vega's discography and came here to see you still defending your inclusion of peaks sourced to email correspondence to somebody else, so I'm seeking clarification if you really want to go to bat to defend the inclusion of, I repeat, such trivial information and if this is the metaphorical hill you really want to die on. I honestly thought after our conversation in June you'd stop seeking out and including such low peaks then arguing to keep them here. Ss 112 11:28, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I was wondering if you would be able to source a "low" Australian peak for the split single " Puss / Oh, the Guilt" which was released between the bands The Jesus Lizard and Nirvana in early 1993 ? It was limited to 1500 vinyl copies in Australia. QuintusPetillius ( talk) 18:04, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
Hey. I was just consulting the PDF of Gavin Ryan's Australia's Music Charts to find the peak of Results by Liza Minnelli as I remember it charted but couldn't remember what its peak was. Then I was looking at the articles for the singles and saw you added the peak of " Losing My Mind" to that article...but it's not listed in the book despite being achieved after 1988. I thought Ryan's book was pretty comprehensive, or have you found things that are not listed/oversights? Ss 112 09:43, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi there, I hope you’re well. I’m just wondering if you have and could let me know of Dolly Parton Australian chart positions, pre 1990. Singles and albums. I am going to add an Australian chart peak column to her discography.
(FYI/ I have the 1988-2010 Australian chart book, so can get those and I do have the Kent chart book 1974-1990 as well, but I don’t have it with me now, hence the request).
Thank you Tobyjamesaus ( talk) 21:38, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
@ Tobyjamesaus: P.S. I forgot to mention, I have only added top 200 peaks from the chart history, even though there are several lower than that. This comes after some discussion with an editor over whether such low chart positions are significant/notable in the context of wikipedia. A contact of mine recently obtained a Kenny Rogers chart history, so there are some below #100 peaks there too. Nqr9 ( talk) 08:12, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi there, thanks for your efforts and for my thanks. FYI, I went into all the individual album articles and added Australian chart positions for those Dolly albums.

I've further explained to this user the problems with their recent changes, and reverted most of their format changes/removals on discographies since you warned them. However, if you get some free time, you might want to go through their recent changes and make sure they didn't remove any Australian sources/peaks you've added. I've tried to restore these where possible. I'll try to keep more of an eye on this user, because these format changes and removals of plainrowheaders is getting to be problematic at best and disruptive at worst.

Hey Nqr9. Up until Tobyjamesaus edited it several days ago, ABBA discography had " King Kong Song" listed as a single from 1977, and its article claimed, using this Zipworld website as a source, that it peaked at number 94 in Australia, apparently having been released to coincide with the 1976 King Kong film's release in Australia in '77. (Whether this is true or not, I chuckled a bit.) Not sure if you can verify this claim of a tie-in release, but is the peak true? I'm aware of "King Kong Song" originally being the B-side of " I've Been Waiting for You" in 1974 though. Ss 112 01:16, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
Good day, Nqr9. I've seen that you've added Australian release dates from the ARIA Report to song articles via Imgur, and it's been a great help when I compose release history sections. I was wondering if you have release date sources for two songs by the Red Hot Chili Peppers: " Otherside" (c. December 1999) and " Road Trippin'" (c. December 2000). I have an Imgur account but rarely use it, so I'm not sure how to work it properly. It'd be a big help if you could provide me with any links you can or add them to the articles yourself. Whatever works, but if you don't have access to them, I understand. Thanks. ResPM ( T🔈 🎵C) 22:22, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi, if you have access to the ARIA reports of 1999-2000, I'm wondering if you might be able to find the release date of " Be Faithful" by Fatman Scoop featuring The Crooklyn Clan (possibly credited as The Crooklyn Clan featuring Fatman Scoop)?
Although it was an ARIA hit in 2003-2004, it was released in the US in 1999, and I believe it probably had an Australian release around 2000, as there's an Australian CD single on Discogs marked as 2000, different to the later 2003 release. Unfortunately, as it didn't chart at the time, I have no idea when in 2000 (or possibly 1999 if the year on Discogs is wrong) it would've been, so it may be difficult to find; I just know that it should be before January 2001 as I've checked from there onwards, and presumably would be after March 1999 (when it charted in the US). Thanks for any help if possible. Exallonyx ( talk) 11:45, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi, would you be able to correct the Australian peaks of "The Ballroom Blitz" and "Peppermint Twist" on The Sweet discography please? It has been claiming them as #1s since 2005 (!) but I'm pretty sure their actual peaks are #2 and #4 respectively. Granted, "The Ballroom Blitz" did reach #1 on Go-Set, but Go-Set ended before "Peppermint Twist" was released. There's also a missing #36 peak from 1985 but I believe the rest are correct. Thanks!

Hello. I asked you a while ago for a couple of RHCP release dates, and now I'd like release dates for two Killing Heidi singles: " Weir" and " Mascara". Several sources say "Weir" was released in October 1999, but it first charted within the ARIA top 100 in June 1999, so I'm not sure if the October date is entirely accurate. Similarly, "Mascara" first charted in October 1999 but has a November 1999 date on the article. Could you peruse the ARIA Reports and provide any helpful links? Thanks.

Update: I think I may have found sources for more reasonable release dates, but I'd still like the links so I can verify them.

Hi there, I just noticed your edit on the Matt Goss about the dubious claim on the 5 million albums sale (I get this needs citing so it's fine). This is a true fact of Matt's career as he's released a few solo albums and had a lot of success for writing for other artists too however I wanted you to see if you could kindly look into this as if you google "Matt Goss 5 Million Albums" there is quite a few sources (Daily Mail being one but I know that's not a reputable source for Wikipedia) however there is the Sunday Morning Herald here: https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/bros-and-the-dark-times-behind-their-bouncy-pop-20170502-gvxlit.html, Star Scene here: https://whatsmyscene.com/star-scene-matt-goss-luke-goss-bros/ and also Digital Journal in Vegas here: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/279447. If you could be so kind to amend this with the source you feel fits (or even if you can find a better source out there as there are a few) then just use the one you feel is the best and feels fit as I'm unsure which you'd prefer. I'm not sure who added the original source/fact in regards to Matt selling the 5 million albums but obviously it's a case of getting the right source for this (which I understand). When you've got time of course and thanks as it would really help if you could do this and you've been great so thank you!! :) Music Editor 2017 ( talk) 15:59, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi Nqr9, just following up to your response (Thank you!). I'm not sure how you do the reply there as I'm still learning the ropes with a lot of the coding and the talk pages etc.. so kindly excuse me if there was a way for me to reply on my page so you'd be notified too. But yeah, I'm not sure who put the original text into the Matt Goss article in regards to where they were coming from so maybe this also needs to be written a little better because this is something that Matt has done as he's also been writing for other artists and had success there with albums sold too as well as his own (also it's very important to bare in mind a lot of Matt's album releases sold units over time as opposed to a quick release and chart hit which is why some of it isn't charted but sold the amount in total if you get what I mean), it's a little like Beastie Boys with their Paul's Boutique album, the album only went to 44 in the UK and never charted higher BUT it sold absolutely loads over a period of time hence why the chart positions aren't something you can completely go by, see the Paul's Boutique article as the album ended up being certified double platinum but never charted higher than 44 in the UK which was the similar in all demographics, the highest it got was 14 in the US yet it's still a double platinum selling record. That said, I get what you mean about the info being vague (IE Total albums with Bros, total as Matt solo or total with Matt albums he's released and written for) but I believe this is outside his Bros career. He's written for Billy Crawford, Keri Hilson and I believe he had a lot of success in Asia or something too, you can see a lot of it here: https://www.allmusic.com/artist/matt-goss-mn0000379833/credits and also here: https://www.discogs.com/artist/75129-Matt-Goss?limit=500&filter_anv=0&type=Credits&page=1 but even these are a little incomplete. I do feel it should be cited on the page as I feel it's a little unfair that it isn't but I also agree that it does need to be more specific and less vague which is what those sources from those other articles referred to, I'll let you decide which is fair but it is something I do feel should be looked into and not disregarded so easily however I have no idea who put the original text (I just added the additional source) in the article citing this so it should have been more clear. I guess it's a compromise really and getting it right if it's to be included. Thanks Music Editor 2017 ( talk) 16:27, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Hey Nqr9, would you be able to, when you get time, add the Australian peaks of Slade to their discography page? I just came across their discography again, and saw in October, Wozza20 reformatted the page and excluded (again, likely because he couldn't access the data) the Australian data. Considering charts should be on the included on the basis of how successful artists were on them, perhaps the Austrian, Canadian or Dutch columns could be replaced in the albums sections, and the Canadian column in the singles section with the Australian data? Thanks a lot if you can! Ss 112 08:09, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
Hey Nqr9, another chart request: Would you be able to see if Chicago have charted decently in Australia? Like, as in, would it be worth including their Australian history on Chicago discography? If you think it is, would you be able to add it there? I'm just not sure how many out of their many albums and singles charted here. Thanks! Ss 112 07:47, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I checked and while there is no definite year of release (the planned UK release was not issued), discogs lists 1990 as the year of release on the Netherlands, Spanish, Scandinavian and French releases. By logic it should have been issued after the release of the title track as a single in November 1990. The only place where it charted was in Sweden in mid-January 1991 so it was probably issued in December 1990 in some countries and later in early 1991 in others. I have the 2009 reissue and all of the songs have 1990 copyright credits.

Hey Nqr9, as you have access to David Kent's chart book(s), would you be able to check if the peaks added here and here by the user Musicality123 are correct? Also, if you get time, would you be able to look through some of their recent contributions (where they have added thousands of bytes of data to album articles) and verify some of the Australian peaks? They continually cite books such as Kent's, as well as one about Zimbabwean album peaks, and I'm not sure where they're sourcing said information from as I'm pretty sure they don't actually own the books themselves. Thanks. Ss 112 09:47, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Hey there, I'm taking you up on the offer to help with some ARIA chart positions. I was wondering if you could advise if Renee Geyer had any charting album/ single in the mid-1990s - 2000s. I am in the process of tidying up her article (and the albums). I have created a discography page and got a lot of data from the Kent Music Report book that I have (up to 1988).
I was hoping you could help with any non-top 50 albums post 1988 -> Specifically Seven Deadly Sins [soundtrack] (1993), Difficult Woman (1994), The Best of Renée Geyer - 1973-1998 (1998), Tonight (2005), Dedicated (2007), Renaissance (2009) & The Ultimate Collection (2010). If you have any of this info, could you please update the discography page please? Thank you in advance. Tobyjamesaus ( talk) 11:33, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
Hello Nqr9, I'm currently editing Invertigo which also includes information on its earlier incarnation as Vertigo. If you have time available could you check 50-100 charting/release dates for the two groups? Thanks in anticipation. shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 01:07, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi buddy, I have noticed your extended work regarding retrieving Australian chart positions for many artists in Wikipedia. I am currently working on discography article for Ofra Haza, and would much appreciate if you'd spare some time in my favor and obtain her music entries in ARIA charts. Not urgent though as it will take me a week or so to finish the article, still let me know when you have a moment if that would be possible eventually. Thank you for your time and work.

Hello Nqr9 – I've been on a Wikibreak for several months (various reasons) and just seen the message you left on my talk page regarding the above video that you uploaded, thank you for that. At the moment I'm more keen on getting the previous album Soul Mining up to somewhere near GA status, and then I'll move on to Infected, but my Wikipedia work will be a bit more sporadic than it was before, so it'll take some time.

Hey Nqr9, I am going to spend a bit of time tidying up Mondo Rock's pages (similarly to what I did with Dragon (band)); formatting, adding references & chart boxes etc. A lot of their articles reference ARIA chart positions prior to their commencement. I have the Kent Music Report book (1970-1992) so I can get/confirm those ones, but wondering if they had any singles/ albums that charted on the ARIA chart (from 1988)?

Hey Nathan, just wondering if you know: did Aretha Franklin's version of " Respect" go to number 1 on any chart in Australia? I was thinking, after I saw the number 1 peak listed on the article, that it was either wrong or the Go-Set peak. Either way, I changed it to number 14 per Kent's chart book. On that note, how different were/are the Go-Set charts from Kent's archival records, anyway? Are there any substantial differences for songs you know of? Ss 112 23:20, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
Nqr9, would you mind having a look at some of the year-end charts that the user JGabbard has been adding over the past few days? For instance, in Here Comes the Rain Again#Year-end charts, he's added a year-end ranking of 108 in Australia for the year 1984, with a citation from Kent's book. Now I don't own those books, but I've used them in the British Library, and I'm pretty sure they only list the top 25 singles and albums for each year. I know Kent provided lists up to the top 100 in his reports at the time during the 1980s, but they're not readily available nowadays, and I don't know where JGabbard has got a placing of 108 from for this record?

Hi Nqr9, I was hoping you could let me know of any post top-50 ARIA chart positions for any of Debbie/Debra Byrne songs/albums please.

Hi Nqr9, just wanted to set the record straight here, I have no idea what a sock puppet is and who tom watson is, I am from the UK and have a keen interest in the UK Charts, my only intention is to improve an artists discography and don't want to step on anyones toes or anything with regards to edits, perhaps we can reach some sort of compromise with regards to the Rock Chart issue, I will implement the chart when it is relevant to UK artists and/or with smaller singles discographies, adding the Rock Chart to certain artists was my way to acknowledge that certain artists have achieved #1's in a world where rock music is increasing becoming irrelevant in the modern charts.
Hope we can work together in the future to improve and implement greater chart information in the future.

Hi Tom, thanks for informing me of the alleged sock puppet. I will keep an eye out for him and if he or she persistently vandalizes the discographies that I am trying to maintain and if it gets really bad then I may launch a sock puppet investigation. The problem is in order to do that you have to gather the evidence from multiple articles that have been abused by the same user. By the way there is such thing as the UK Rock chart, which is an official chart, but I don't think it started until 1994, and can actually be sourced from the Official Charts Company website. Before that time there were various rock/alternative charts but they were from private publishers such as NME magazine. Cheers. QuintusPetillius ( talk) 18:42, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi Nqr9, how are you? Just now I enjoyed reading on your user page that you enjoy correcting when "someone has put the chart entry date as the release date". I have been guilty of that in the past on at least one occasion, but at one point figured out about making the distinction. :)
I'm writing to you because I notice you made this edit [ [6]]. I'm looking at adding the fact that the album went gold in Australia as background in The Breeders Tour 2014 but I don't have access to the book by Gavin Ryan. By all indications, it seems you do? I'm hoping to possibly nominate the article for FAC—in which case normally I would want to have access to all sources myself to verify the info—but if it came down to it (for example, during the FAC review), you could vouch for me that the info is indeed present in the book? Could I also ask what page the info is on, by the way? Thank you. Moisejp ( talk) 16:40, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
@ Moisejp: Yes, the pdf version of the book was sold on a USB stick through http://ozmusicbooks.com/product/australias-music-charts-1988-2010/ , though it no longer seems to be listed/must have sold out. Out of interest, this site lists the printed copy of the book as being 650 pages, vs. 643 pages for the pdf. I assume the difference is due to the lack of blank pages in the pdf copy.

Hi Nqr9, just a quick question... there's an AfD discussion going on at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steeltown (band). The article for the band claims they had a no. 34 single in Australia in 1991, but we think that's a piece of fake promotion – nobody can find any information about them. Can you confirm that this group never had a chart hit in Australia? Thanks. Richard3120 ( talk) 14:47, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi again Nqr9, how are you? I hope you are well. I was wondering if I could ask you another question about charts, this one a little more general than my last question. I've always worked on music articles, and have always thought citing charts was pretty straight forward, using the Hung Median ones and a few other obvious ones like Billboard, UK Top 75, Canada RPM, etc. But right now as I am trying to clean up all the refs in an article ( Together Through Life), including the chart positions ones, I find myself questioning whether it is as simple as I thought.
So I start with here at Hung Median [ [7]], great, and I know I can click on each flag for that country's chart page, and cite that chart position in the article, which is what I've always done. But then I look at a page like Rebel Heart, where the charts section has links to music chart Wikipedia articles. For example, for the Australian charts, it has a link to ARIA Charts. Then if you go to that page and then at the bottom click the link to the official site, you get [ [8]]. But if on the Rebel Heart page you go to the reference for the Australian chart position, you get the Hung Median one [ [9]]. I think a given country can often have multiple organizations tracking chart positions (for example, Billboard and Cash Box in the USA). How do I know whether a given Wikipedia page may, or not, correspond with the Hung Median page, but just with a different name? In some cases, for example, Swiss Hitparade and Ultratop, the wiki page clearly corresponds to the Hung Median page, but in many cases they don't.
One option is I could avoid using the Hung Median pages and try to dig down into the official site, but some of these seem to be better than others for having archived chart lists available. Or another option still (what I've done in the past) is to not try to include a Wikipedia link for each chart, and to just use generic names like French Charts—but this option seems less than ideal if the Wikipedia articles are in fact available. Do you have any advice for me? Thanks in advance! Moisejp ( talk) 04:27, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi there!

Your recent editing history at Drive Me Crazy (song) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

I moved the page because the main article is at Debbie Harry, and the article names should match to avoid confusion. Additionally, her Amazon discography is listed under Debbie, and at least some releases since 1989 credit her as such (e.g., this single with Moby).

Hello, you recently reverted an edit I had made on the Tori Amos discography. Among the list of studio albums, Y Kant Tori Read is listed as her first studio album (which is correct, even though she recorded it with a band and not technically as a solo artist). Before my edit, the wiki link redirected to the page for the group Y Kant Tori Read rather than the album of the same name. This doesn't make sense to me since it is a list of studio albums and not bands, and thus the link should redirect to the album named Y Kant Tori Read. For some reason you reverted this edit back to linking to the band. Can you explain your decision? werewolf ( talk) 15:34, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

While I'm appreciative of the chart data you've previously shared with me and your telling me that ARIA answers chart queries sent to them via email, I think you're really reaching into trivial territory by including peaks lower than 200. We have to draw the line somewhere. There's plenty of reasons users don't include data this low or try to seek it out for other countries/charts. The reason I have never reached out to ARIA via email or sourced information to email correspondence is because namely I find email correspondence dubious as a source. I know you've previously had disagreements with editors about this, and I think it's entirely reasonable. I don't know if there's been a consensus on whether or not email correspondence is accepted as a source, but if it's used to add such low, trivial peaks I am all for disallowing it.
I know you will/do disagree, but charts have a threshold for a reason. If they went on forever or to a figure as low as 1000, what's the point of having a chart? Of what use to any regular reader is a peak as low as 887 or 1227? Truly—that would be indicative of single-digit sales. That is of no consequence or relevance. We might as well be saying "PJ Harvey sold a few downloads in Australia". Of course she did—most major musicians have fans everywhere. Their new releases will sell at least a few and probably rank in the top 2000 or whatever. We don't need a trivial peak to know this. It's common sense. Most editors are not going to care that PJ Harvey's songs that charted in no other major territory reached far below the 100-place threshold of the Australian chart and sold a few downloads to "rank" at 895. While I and certainly other editors have already drawn the line (considering nobody besides you adds such low peaks sourced to emails), I think you need to start drawing the line somewhere and choosing what data to include or seek out. Just because information exists or can be sought and sourced, does not mean it should be included on Wikipedia. It's getting into fancruft territory. I think if you keep including such trivial numbers and will not stop of your own accord/not see the point being made, there will need to be an RfC or consensus on this.

Hi Nqr9. I refer to your edit here: [10]. Personally i don't have a problem with this, I just haven't seen it done before. I wanted to ask you if you know if this is regarded as an acceptable way to reference charts, or if it was something you thought up yourself. I ask as if there's a guideline somewhere that states this is OK I might consider doing it myself in the future. I do unfortunately get the feeling that this is generally not acceptable, but hopefully I'm wrong. Also just for the record I'd draw the line at the top 200 as well though, anything lower than that is particularly trivial. Cheers. Damien Linnane ( talk) 13:59, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello again. I see in August, after we last spoke here in June, you rather appear to have changed your tune, saying to Damien Linnane above: "As for the beyond the top 200 being trivial, it's an arbitrary decision", whereas in June you said to me "If you feel inclined to remove these peaks, I won't challenge you" (as I suggested I would and still do). I have just noticed on Suzanne Vega discography late last month, you reverted AlligatorSky for removing one of these "ultra-low peaks"—number 516 (really?) for her album Retrospective. I understand you may have reverted AlligatorSky for saying that the peak was not sourced in any of the links provided when this was untrue, but if you were not bothered by editors challenging such low peaks, you could have just left a note for them correcting them and let it be. As you said in June, I shouldn't have "presume[d]" you would disagree with their removal, which, if not explicit agreement, certainly indicated you would agree/tolerate their removal. But it appears you do still rather want to defend their inclusion, whereas I'm sure if you think about it you know it gets to a point where they're trivial. I don't know about your position, but really the point of charts is not for them to go on forever so we can get down to what's number 10,000 this week and appease chart fanatics who are the only ones interested in such dismal rankings. We have to draw the line somewhere, and if that's an "arbitrary" line to you because ARIA used to calculate beyond a top 200, then so be it, but it's not as if ARIA made the information on such "chart positions" public (surely partially for the reason(s) I just mentioned?) until you enquired privately.
I was exaggerating for emphasis when I stated such low peaks would get to be "single-digit sales" (even though I still firmly believe if ARIA published sales figures for entries around 1000 or so they would probably get to be single-digit sales), but you appear to have run with this and used it as a quote to dismiss my entire perspective in a conversation with another editor. Like, come on. You know you've been questioned multiple times over this and other editors have either reverted you or challenged your inclusion of email correspondence previously (for example, I believe IndianBio did on Madonna articles, didn't he?). My point is it's trivial to begin with, and then to source them, you're relying on trivial emails, which are almost certainly unreliable and definitely not a preferred way to source information, even if not determined so by formal consensus.
I am not here to have a dig at you, and I am not here to have an extended back-and-forth so you can bring something up about me that you've noticed as you tend to do whenever we talk, particularly if you're at my talk page and reading other threads before yours. I noticed this from Suzanne Vega's discography and came here to see you still defending your inclusion of peaks sourced to email correspondence to somebody else, so I'm seeking clarification if you really want to go to bat to defend the inclusion of, I repeat, such trivial information and if this is the metaphorical hill you really want to die on. I honestly thought after our conversation in June you'd stop seeking out and including such low peaks then arguing to keep them here. Ss 112 11:28, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I was wondering if you would be able to source a "low" Australian peak for the split single " Puss / Oh, the Guilt" which was released between the bands The Jesus Lizard and Nirvana in early 1993 ? It was limited to 1500 vinyl copies in Australia. QuintusPetillius ( talk) 18:04, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
Hey. I was just consulting the PDF of Gavin Ryan's Australia's Music Charts to find the peak of Results by Liza Minnelli as I remember it charted but couldn't remember what its peak was. Then I was looking at the articles for the singles and saw you added the peak of " Losing My Mind" to that article...but it's not listed in the book despite being achieved after 1988. I thought Ryan's book was pretty comprehensive, or have you found things that are not listed/oversights? Ss 112 09:43, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Hey, random question, but I was on YouTube looking for a few Gyan songs and then Joanne's version of Jackie came up, and I saw the name of the YouTube account had your name in it—wanted to ask, are you the one that uploaded those? Or just coincidence? Ss 112 04:43, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, I hope you’re well. I’m just wondering if you have and could let me know of Dolly Parton Australian chart positions, pre 1990. Singles and albums. I am going to add an Australian chart peak column to her discography.
(FYI/ I have the 1988-2010 Australian chart book, so can get those and I do have the Kent chart book 1974-1990 as well, but I don’t have it with me now, hence the request).
Thank you Tobyjamesaus ( talk) 21:38, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
@ Tobyjamesaus: P.S. I forgot to mention, I have only added top 200 peaks from the chart history, even though there are several lower than that. This comes after some discussion with an editor over whether such low chart positions are significant/notable in the context of wikipedia. A contact of mine recently obtained a Kenny Rogers chart history, so there are some below #100 peaks there too. Nqr9 ( talk) 08:12, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi there, thanks for your efforts and for my thanks. FYI, I went into all the individual album articles and added Australian chart positions for those Dolly albums. (No time pressure but) Let me know when you get a chance to update Kenny Rogers discography page, because I’ll do the same with those albums as well. Tobyjamesaus ( talk) 11:12, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi there, (sorry to have 2 requests in a week), but I've just updated Kenny Rogers' album chart positions (1988-present) on his discography page. (There was a noise11 article today, which had a few early than 1988 that I could add in as well). I was wondering if you could fill in the 1974-1988 ones when you get a chance please? or send me the link and I can do it for you :) Thanks so much. Tobyjamesaus ( talk) 08:15, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

You may recall the decisions about the three different Donna Summer Discography articles, as discussed at Talk:Donna Summer discography and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Donna Summer discography. I finally did the merge! The old "Singles" and "Albums" articles are no more. It was such a huge job that I really got bogged down in details. If you have time, please consider inspecting the new and consolidated Donna Summer discography to see if I left any holes or repeats behind. Thanks. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( Talk| Contribs) 02:28, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
I've further explained to this user the problems with their recent changes, and reverted most of their format changes/removals on discographies since you warned them. However, if you get some free time, you might want to go through their recent changes and make sure they didn't remove any Australian sources/peaks you've added. I've tried to restore these where possible. I'll try to keep more of an eye on this user, because these format changes and removals of plainrowheaders is getting to be problematic at best and disruptive at worst.

Hey, I’m not sure if you have access to any 100+ ARIA chart positions in recent years, but if so, are you able to update any Sheppard chart positions you might have please? Or maybe wait a week and see if any songs achieve new peaks after the album release?? Thanks in advance. Tobyjamesaus ( talk) 03:01, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
Hey, All good. My music taste declines in the 2000s as well, so I hear you. Thanks anyway. Tobyjamesaus ( talk) 05:55, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
Hey Nqr9. Up until Tobyjamesaus edited it several days ago, ABBA discography had " King Kong Song" listed as a single from 1977, and its article claimed, using this Zipworld website as a source, that it peaked at number 94 in Australia, apparently having been released to coincide with the 1976 King Kong film's release in Australia in '77. (Whether this is true or not, I chuckled a bit.) Not sure if you can verify this claim of a tie-in release, but is the peak true? I'm aware of "King Kong Song" originally being the B-side of " I've Been Waiting for You" in 1974 though. Ss 112 01:16, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
Good day, Nqr9. I've seen that you've added Australian release dates from the ARIA Report to song articles via Imgur, and it's been a great help when I compose release history sections. I was wondering if you have release date sources for two songs by the Red Hot Chili Peppers: " Otherside" (c. December 1999) and " Road Trippin'" (c. December 2000). I have an Imgur account but rarely use it, so I'm not sure how to work it properly. It'd be a big help if you could provide me with any links you can or add them to the articles yourself. Whatever works, but if you don't have access to them, I understand. Thanks. ResPM ( T🔈 🎵C) 22:22, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi, if you have access to the ARIA reports of 1999-2000, I'm wondering if you might be able to find the release date of " Be Faithful" by Fatman Scoop featuring The Crooklyn Clan (possibly credited as The Crooklyn Clan featuring Fatman Scoop)?
Although it was an ARIA hit in 2003-2004, it was released in the US in 1999, and I believe it probably had an Australian release around 2000, as there's an Australian CD single on Discogs marked as 2000, different to the later 2003 release. Unfortunately, as it didn't chart at the time, I have no idea when in 2000 (or possibly 1999 if the year on Discogs is wrong) it would've been, so it may be difficult to find; I just know that it should be before January 2001 as I've checked from there onwards, and presumably would be after March 1999 (when it charted in the US). Thanks for any help if possible. Exallonyx ( talk) 11:45, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi, would you be able to correct the Australian peaks of "The Ballroom Blitz" and "Peppermint Twist" on The Sweet discography please? It has been claiming them as #1s since 2005 (!) but I'm pretty sure their actual peaks are #2 and #4 respectively. Granted, "The Ballroom Blitz" did reach #1 on Go-Set, but Go-Set ended before "Peppermint Twist" was released. There's also a missing #36 peak from 1985 but I believe the rest are correct. Thanks!

Hello. I asked you a while ago for a couple of RHCP release dates, and now I'd like release dates for two Killing Heidi singles: " Weir" and " Mascara". Several sources say "Weir" was released in October 1999, but it first charted within the ARIA top 100 in June 1999, so I'm not sure if the October date is entirely accurate. Similarly, "Mascara" first charted in October 1999 but has a November 1999 date on the article. Could you peruse the ARIA Reports and provide any helpful links? Thanks. ResPM ( T🔈 🎵C) 01:09, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Update: I think I may have found sources for more reasonable release dates, but I'd still like the links so I can verify them. According to an old archived website I found, "Weir" was released in May 1999 while "Mascara" was released in October. Are these right? ResPM ( T🔈 🎵C) 01:38, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
