[edit] Strange statement

This doesn't seem to make any sense, and doesn't have a source.

"It seemed to sell well at first, quickly peaking at #2 on the charts and staying in the top 30 throughout the year, but after failing to compare to his other albums it is now considered one of the biggest flops in music history."

  • RIAA says the album went platinum. That's hardly a big flop. Perhaps it should just be noted that is didn't compare to the sales of his previous two albums.Cjosefy 17:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Statement is also incorrect, as the album made it to #12 per Billboard (perhaps it was #2 on another chart?). Either way, I removed it, and updated it with a sourced ranking from Billboard. --Ataricodfish 18:57, 26 August 2006 (UTC) Ah, to answer my own question, it peaked at #2 on the R&B chart per All Music Guide, going Gold according to them. The link to all music guide says, "The results seemed to have worked; Funky Headhunter peaked at number two on the R&B list, went gold, and remained in the Top 30 midway through the year." --Ataricodfish 19:00, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mc hammer funky headhunter.jpg

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
