Latin Pop Albums[edit]

I see there's a discussion of whether to include the Latin Pop Albums or not for this album. The link WP:BILLBOARDCHARTS only talks about singles and that's it. Except for the sole mention of R&B and Hip Hop Albums, there are no mentions of whether of including component albums are acceptable or not and I haven't found any past discussions on its talk page where the consensus applied this to albums as well. I'm not against its inclusion, but if it's really that problematic, then it should probably be taken up on the record talk page, not here. Erick (talk) 02:37, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Magiciandude: Yes, but I think the same logic applies to albums. Why would Latin Pop Songs not be acceptable to include where Latin Songs is, but Latin Pop Albums is acceptable where Latin Albums already is? It's the exact same component chart, just for albums. Latin albums that are also deemed pop go on that chart. It's the same type of thing as Rap Albums, which is a component of the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Albums that are classified as hip hop go on Rap Albums; that's the only real difference. I think the IP user wanting to include it just wants to show Shakira still achieved number one on a Latin albums chart in a week where she didn't achieve number one overall because a mixed-genre compilation outsold her.

Strike that, I'm relenting. I don't care to debate it any longer, because if other users weigh in it will probably go on. I'll re-add it myself. Ss 112 02:59, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) I mean, the main difference between the two charts is that the Latin Pop Songs (or Latin Pop Airplay) does not actually require a song to be Latin pop (or even in Spanish) while the other one does. The Latin Pop Airplay merely tracks any song that receives the most airplay on Latin pop stations in the US regardless of its genre. That's why the Latin Pop Airplay chart is a dependent chart as opposed to a genre chart. I've made several FA articles about an album that have ranked on both charts and so far, no one from the music-related projects has objected to it. Here's a past discussion on why Latin Pop Airplay songs aren't welcome while the Tropical and Regional Mexican songs are okay to use. Just thought that may be of help. Anyhow, this really isn't a big deal to me, but I just thought it might be helpful to point that out. Erick (talk) 03:20, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

N1 in Venezuela[edit]

Record land is not an official chart provider. It is a retail chain just like Amazon and iTunes and thus falls under WP:SINGLEVENDOR. Erick (talk) 02:40, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Muhandes deleting certifications[edit]

The user in question, Muhandes, does not allow Sony Music México as an official source for mexican certifications, and neither does he accept other Sony of other countries as a source, and they remove the certifications off Shakira's Wikipedia pages. This is all despite AMPROFON (Mex) having listed Sony as their official partner, and the other countries as well have listed Sony as a partner. How is this allowed? There are literally pictures of Shakira receiving the certification plaques, Facebook posts from Sony, Tweets fron Sony. AMPROFON has not updated their list of certifications since 2017. Shlaykira (talk) 12:01, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, Muhandes accused me of having multiple accounts, which I have not. I am not the only one trying to add the certifications. Shlaykira (talk) 12:02, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Shlaykira: Please avoid ad hominem arguments and I will do the same for the sake of this discussion.

To the issue itself, which is Gold or Platinum records awarded by a record company to their artists. The de facto consensus, as reflected by thousands of articles for a long period of time, is that record companies cannot make certifications. The entire point of certifications is that an unbiased authorized third party certifies that a certain amount of records was sold. As such, a record company cannot make a certification. What they can do is award the artist a Gold Record award for selling such and such, which is usually done as a promotional act. A certification by the authorized organization will have that organization's logo, at the very least. I'm not sure whether awards from record companies should be mentioned at all, but if they can, it is by adding a statement in the body of the article, saying explicitly that Sony has made that award, and providing a reliable source.

In addition, note that Twitter is a self published source and typically cannot be used as a reliable source unless some conditions are met. I reinstated the Mexico certification since I believe this is indeed a post by the recognized authority which meets those conditions. --Muhandes (talk) 15:29, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Shlaykira, just give it up already. We know pretty well who you are (a disruptive vandal and sock of Shakira111). Your edits are not accepted so cease from Wikipedia once and for all. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 16:07, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:IndianBio: the SPI was inconclusive, as you saw. In light of that, drop/retract these accusations please, and try to adopt a more collegial tone, or I will warn you, and possibly block you, for making personal attacks. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 17:04, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmies:, block me for what? Getting frustrated that an user keeps on creating socks and disrupts Wikipedia? You just checked and blocked the user yourself and was miffed that he/she has socked continuously. If you think that I should not have vented my frustration, then yes you have a point. Surely you do understand how sometimes these situations can make us irritated. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 17:28, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, not for getting frustrated, but for airing it out in public in those terms. Of course I understand this. Drmies (talk) 17:52, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

El Dorado official singles[edit]

La Bicicleta, Deja Vu and Comme moi are not official singles from El Dorado. When Shakira first announced the release of Deja Vu, she labeled it as a "track", not as a single from her album. (https://www.shakira.com/news/975). As opposed to Prince Royce, who did announce it as a single from his album FIVE. (https://twitter.com/PrinceRoyce/status/833456336692244480). At the time, Sony Music Spain also issued a press release where they stated Deja Vu was a single off Prince Royce's album, not Shakira's. (https://www.sonymusic.es/eventos/prince-royce-estrena-nuevo-album-five/)

Billboard magazine also published this article where they say Deja Vu is "the new single, from Prince Royce’s latest studio album, Five" (https://www.billboard.com/pro/hot-latin-songs-prince-royce-shakira-deja-vu-debut-j-balvin/).

La Bicicleta was always promoted as a single from Carlos Vives' album. (See: https://www.billboard.com/pro/carlos-vives-shakira-la-bicicleta-collaboration/ and https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/carlos-vives-shakira-cover-art-la-bicicleta-7378537/)
