Does a distinction need to be made between the US dance airplay chart and the US dance club play chart? Bondegezou 16:25, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Did the original West End Girls actually get to #121? I've never seen any proof, and suspect it may be speculation myself. Rolypole 22:23, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] She's Madonna

I believe this has been added before and removed under the claim its not a PSB song despite their production and writing involvement. However, the cover shown on the song's page says "Robbie Williams with Pet Shop Boys" — and I heard Terry Wogan give it the dual credit after playing it on BBC Radio 2 the other day, so presumably that's how it's being officially released. Shouldn't it, therefore, in fact count as a PSB single release also? Angmering 15:33, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Sounds fair to me. Actually I think I was the one who removed it before. If the single cover has it listed with PSB as performer then it should be re-added. - eo 16:20, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Three Different US Dance Charts for Singles...

Yes a distinction must be made between the three different Dance Charts at Billboard

Hot Dance Club Play: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/charts/chart_display.jsp?g=Singles&f=Hot+Dance+Club+Play Hot Dance Airplay: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/charts/chart_display.jsp?g=Singles&f=Hot+Dance+Airplay Hot Dance Single Sales: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/charts/chart_display.jsp?g=Singles&f=Hot+Dance+Singles+Sales

The distinction between Club Play & Airplay is simply Club Play is for those songs getting the most turns at clubs while The Airplay chart is for those songs getting the most turns at radio stations with dance formats. I am sure you could guess that on your own, but I thought I would explain it anyway.MoovieStarz 04:54, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Clicking the wikilink at the top of the column leads to the U.S. Club Play article. - eo 12:29, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Album cover images

Is there a valid reason that these are been removed? feydey 11:09, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use doesn't cover their use in this sort of article; they're copyright-violating here. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 17:41, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Could You please link to the relevant policy page that forbids fair use images in discographies. Thanks, feydey 21:54, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "The Sodom and Gomorrah Show"

I see no source for this as a single release - there is nothing on the PSB website. I've left it for now, but if no source surfaces, I'm gonna delete. - eo 17:29, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disco 4 and Integral single

Disco 4 has been recently announced on the PSB OS: http://www.petshopboys.co.uk/browser.aspx. so for the sake of god, don't revert to an older version of the page.

However, Integral will not be released as a single, although a promo set will be, so I'm doubtful if to add it to the singles list. Cristóbal 21:39, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Psychological white label single

It is mentioned on the Fundamental page, but if I'm mistaken again, feel free to revert.

I'm not sure which singles types can go there but I thought it was good for the list. Cristóbal 06:14, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Certification?

I have a question about the certification. FUNDAMENTAL is awarded 3x gold by BPI according to this page. But to my opinion there is no such thing. Because 3x gold (3 x 100 000) would mean Platinum (300 000). And I have found no source confirming anything above silver.

This is 'evidence' I found on the BPI site. It also states PLEASE 1x platinum instead of 3x. And INTROSPECTIVE 2x instead of 3x. etc. Maybe the BPI site isn't up to date (I can't check that), but then I still wonder where the sources are for the claims on this page.

[edit] Categories?

Might it be an idea to split the "albums" table into studio albums, compilation albums, disco albums, live albums, soundtrack and score albums, limited edition and further listening albums or something of that sort? It would seem to make sense, and fits in with the specified discography style template. I'd be happy to do it, if it needs doing. Samballance (talk) 09:58, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
