Talk:Da Funk

Verify source
I had to remove this statement:

The track bears a heavy influence of G-Funk and said to be made after Bangalter & Homem-Christo had listened to west coast rap and g-funk for weeks time

The source in question is not English and seems to be self-published which violates WP:RELIABLE. A ISBN search doesn't provide further information about the statement made and I would love if information could be provided with a transcribe to English so I could allow the source to be added back in. ♫ Douglasr007  ( talk )  01:12, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

30,000 copies in 1997. NONSENSE
THE single was a world hit It even reached the top 10 of the UK Charts. IT charted in germany after the success of AROUND THE WORLD and made it to # 65

and many more

it missed the US HOT 100 charts narrowly-  It had healthy sales in the USA. But the HOT 100 CHARTS are based on Sales and Airplay. therefore AIRPLAY of the song was nearly zero

it reached #30 on the SINGLE SALES

therefore the INFORMATION   30,000 copies sold in 1997  is not reliable

Where it sold that sum ?

in the USA ?

IN THE UK

in france ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.15.237.46 (talk) 17:40, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Year of release
I'm not comprehending the removal of sourced comments about the single's release.

Da Funk was initially released by Soma Records in 1995. The duo signed with Virgin in 1996. The single was released again - look at the EP which has both Soma and Virgin logos on it - in 1996. These statements are sourced. You don't go by the "most cited" date especially with record labels because it could be anything noted as exceptions in the notability guidelines for music-related articles. You're going to get the 1997 date from any streaming site or seller because they are obtaining that from the respective label.

Regardless of the most cited, this history is important to note because it's when the duo got signed to a major label. The transition from the different labels and also maintaining exclusive rights to the music is essential to note. The timeline needs to be there. It's more critical in the Homework article also. – The Grid  ( talk )  00:37, 5 March 2021 (UTC)


 * 1995 is the first date and should be listed first. The next, most famous release, comes second. Binksternet (talk) 02:03, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Independent coverage
Are there any sources that cover this independently, as opposed to database entries, coverage of the whole album, or ranked song lists? The big ugly alien ( talk ) 12:51, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
