[edit] Sales

Is there any validity to these new sales updates posted? I highly doubt "The World Needs a Hero" has moved 532,000 copies seen as how 3 years ago it's sales weren't even at 300,000 yet.

[edit] Contents

Anyone know why I'm not getting a table of contents at the top of this page, yet the virtually identical Anthrax discography I created does have one? IainP (talk) 20:46, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Table Of Contents are automatically added when an article has 4 or more sections, but you can force a table of contents even if you have less than 4 sections with __TOC__. I added it for you. --Eel 21:08, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unplugged in Boston

If this album is a release only for the fan club this shouldn't be on the main entry. The next albums to be released are United Abominations on October 31st and the live album in Argentina (this one hasn't release date yet).

I have tried to make it more organised - seperate sections for live albums and compilations. Make any changes necessary! Will231982 11:12, 19 August 2006 (UTC)will231982

[edit] Train Of Consequences

Found a Megadeth album, Train Of Consequences, as I was going though Uncategorized albums. Didnt see it on the discography, so thought I'd let you guys know. -- Reaper X 19:54, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Whoa...

How can the US Sales of "Peace Sells" be only 600,000 or so if it's certified platinum. I know that the gold/platinum ratings go by the number of records shipped, not the number sold, but the idea that there are 400,000 unsold copies of "Peace Sells" sitting around is preposterous. The figure for "So Far, So Good, So What" is even more ridiculous...60% of the copies that were shipped were never sold? That's f*cked up.PearlTheater 02:51, 10 December 2006 (UTC)Pearl Theater

Any album released before May 25, 1991 (when Soundscan was introduced) does not have exact sales figures. You can check www.riaa.com for gold and platinum sales awards. Skeletor2112 05:32, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Still Alive...and Well?

Should this not be in the compilations section? Except for the first two tracks, everything on it is from "The World Needs a Hero" or "Rude Awakenings." Uroboric 18:03, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
