Talk:Billboard Year-End

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Merge Destination

It has been proposed that the article Best-selling albums by year (USA) should be merged into this article. I agree, although the information in the source page is far more accurate than what currently exists on this page, and should be used as the information if the merge is approved. (Each of the listed albums includes a cite to the relevant Billboard Year-end chart from the Billboard website.) I will wait ten days, and will interpret a lack of comments as agreement, at which time I will complete the merger. Horologium talk - contrib 20:55, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Where are we supposed to be discussing this? I voted on the Discussion page of the other article, here. - eo 22:04, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I've pulled the merge destination tag for now, since the other article has some issues (see Talk:Best-selling albums by year (USA) for details). Horologium talk - contrib 18:29, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Albums List Fixed

I went through all of the Year-End Albums and corrected the numerous errors. I included a link to Billboard's Year-End Chart (from the Billboard website) to establish the accuracy of my changes. The only album for which I don't have a Billboard link is the 2006 album; for that, I have used a cite from E! online. (Owned by Time-Warner, I think they constitute a reliable source for this issue.) A quick look at the singles showed a pretty good concurrence with Billboard's charts, but they could use referencing as well.

Thanks for doing this, although I've noticed something interesting... at first glance I reverted your edit because I'm looking at a Billboard reference book (noted in the article) and some of the #1 albums are different. That doesn't make any sense, considering that both your source and mine is Billboard (me using a Billboard book and you using their website). I'm going to revert my revert as your version has external sources. I will re-add Carrie Underwood as 2006's #1, however. - eo 11:44, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
