Talk:Battlefield (song)

Charts
Is the inclusion of Austrlian Urban Singles Chart and UK R&B Chart a breach of wikidia's rules banning component charts? (Lil-unique1 (talk) 15:55, 2 August 2009 (UTC))
 * Component charts can be used, but only when a song fails to enter the main chart. —  Σ  xplicit 18:47, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure the UK R&B Chart is a component chart - I'm pretty sure the UK Download Chart and UK Physical Singles Chart are the only component charts of the UK Singles Chart, so there's no reason why it can't be used. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 20:23, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * UK R&B chart is not a component chart, however previous discussions at the WP:CHARTS project led to the conclusion that UK R&B charts, or infact even the BB R&B cahrt, can be included for R&B oriented singles only. Similar for dance charts. Asutralian Urban snigles is a separate chart, but fails notability. --Legolas  ( talk 2 me ) 06:00, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I second the above. The chart is not component, and can be used in this article, since this article is about a pop-R&b song. I don't have much experience with the Australian urban chart, but I'm assuming it's the same as the R&B chart. It should be fine as long as it's sourced. Oran e   (talk)  06:27, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Surely if a song is included in an R&B chart, it's an R&B-oriented single...??? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 11:50, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Generally, but not exclusively. The charts get their titles from the genre of the radio stations they monitor, not from someone making an artistic determination about each song.&mdash;Kww(talk) 12:13, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I see. And I also see by looking at the UK R&B Chart for this week, there are quite a few songs that wouldn't generally be considered R&B! Thanks for clarifying that. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 13:06, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

so i am to take it that the consensus is that UK R&B chart is ok but Australian R&B chart is going to be counted as a component chart? (Lil-unique1 (talk) 00:58, 7 August 2009 (UTC))

tempo?
The link that doesn't work referenced some very strange information, namely that this song's tempo is 144. It is actually half of that, and it's plain it's at a ballad's tempo. Anyone can go and delete my 72 as unreferenced if they like, but the 144 was both wrong and unreferenced. ChildrenDeserveBetter (talk) 05:03, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Awesome God Resemblance
I'm not a huge religious advocate nor "I never meant to start a war," but in terms of chord progression and music resemblance, doesn't "Battlefield" sound like it is a total rip off of Rich Mullins's Awesome God? True, the progressions are very similar, but listen to the chorus section: ''I never meant to start a war. You know I never wanna hurt you. Don't even know what we're fighting for. Why does love always feel like a battlefield...''

This site talks about it a little. It plays the chorus of Battlefield and then about 40 seconds in, it plays Awesome God.

I feel a little shocked that this isn't really mentioned anywhere. I know that "Awesome God" isn't really a popular song on a Top 40 hits station, but it sounds like a complete copy of a popular church song. Anyone else notice this, or is this purely coincidence on the chord progressions? Troyoda1990 (talk) 20:13, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

I have the exact same question. It's to much the same! I feel the question should be asked and the fact made aware. Hardus H

This is indeed based off of "Awesome God". I have added an attribution to it under the background section. 128.101.188.150 (talk) 19:16, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
 * And I've removed it because its a discussion thread. It is not given by any sort of credible website/author. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1   (talk2me)  19:45, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
