Talk:Album of the Year (album)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

there needs to be evidence given here for the claim that this album has pushed over one million copies sold world wide - perhaps a band quote or official sales record from various countries...

Actually, citations need to be included for almost everything on this page. I removed several sentences of obvious opinion, but there's more work to be done here. Sky 19:17, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Ashes to Ashes is here credited as a David Bowie song. The titles are the same, but the song is not a cover version.

[edit] album of the year sales

the closest i can find to FNM's album numbers are the chart peakes and staying power the album in various countries. So far i have tracked down at least 15 countries where the album charted and it seems by looking at the peakes and weeks the album has spent in charts it seems a fair call to say it sold a million + copies w/w. But other than that there seems to be no official anouncement of how many copies the album shipped. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.245.200.230 (talk) 03:35, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
