Talk:AIM (album)

Credits
Just had my copy of the album in the post (because I am old fashioned and still buy my music on CD) and I notice that it has no songwriting credits at all and no production credits other than for the two versions of "Bird Song". Are the credits available with any other format of the album. If not, where does the info in the article come from.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:44, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Found a list of production credits on Universal Music's French website. Still no sign of any writer credits though...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:46, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry, only just saw this. The songwriting credits are available via the Tidal streaming service if you right click a song and click 'Track info'. I have added it as a source now. Thanks, TheKaphox (talk) 17:48, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

AIM (album) → Aim (album) – Per MOS:TM. No evidence the album title is an acronym. SST flyer  13:47, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose, COMMONAME. ©   Tb hotch ™ (en-2.5). 04:42, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose, Yeah, all the sources refer to it as AIM and M.I.A. even refers to it as AIM on her Twitter. Esmost   πк   16:24, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose. News sources refer to it as AIM, as well as all services and stores that stream and/or sell the album. TheKaphox   T  16:38, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose per above, and the fact that AIM is supposed to be M.I.A. backwards per various news sources, . Of course, Aim might not necessarily lose that meaning, but for some semblance of consistency it should stay as is. Sure, the article could have just as easily been at A.I.M too, but it's not spelt with periods between letters here, in news sources, on online stores, on the cover art, or how the artist refers to it.

Singles from AIM
"The New International Sound Pt. 2" was never a single (only a video from an EP of the same title) and "Bird Song" counts only as 1 song/single in 2 versions. That makes it 5 singles released from AIM then. 1000MHz (talk) 23:35, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Agreed on "The New International Sound Pt. 2". I believe that "Bird Song" was released as a single that happened to have two versions, and shouldn't be considred as two different singles (as in the current infobox). I understand this could probably be contested, though. TheKaphox   T  23:50, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The "Bird Song" situation reminds me of how a lot of singles were released in the early to mid 1990s (certainly in the UK) - two CD singles with different bonus tracks, released a week apart. This was only ever counted as one single and I agree the same should apply here -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:25, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
 * On a more general note, as a decripit old 40-something I really don't understand how it is decided what is and what isn't a single in the "digital age". Life was so much easier when singles 7" lumps of black vinyl.  And got me started on "buzz singles", I really don't have a clue exactly what they are.......... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:04, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Can we at least acknowledge "Bird Song"'s different release dates if we're not going to treat it as two singles?
They were indeed released at different times, but if the remixes are considered part of the single, can we acknowledge, in the infobox, that there were two versions released on different days? Aleccat (talk) 15:00, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

WP:CAPS
The title of the album is "Aim". It is pronounced "Aim" in YouTube videos. In ictu oculi (talk) 06:48, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Visa
Is it credited anywhere that "Visa" samples M.I.A.'s own song "Galang"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arekuba (talk • contribs) 21:28, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
