Talk:Hilary Duff (album)

Merging Singles
I don't believe any of the singles should be merged, because they are seperate CD's and other artists don't have their singles merged WestJet

The Getaway (song) and Weird (song)
I couldn't find any evidence that "The Getaway" and "Weird" were released as singles anywhere, so I've redirected the articles here. Extraordinary Machine 14:30, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

On a related note, I've just removed this slab of unreferenced text from the article:


 * "The Getaway" was released as a promotional single for the album in North America. It was originally slated for a full single release in October 2004, but was postponed to November, then January 2005, and then March. It was then cancelled and Duff's record label, Hollywood Records, told her to start recording a new album (which later became Most Wanted, 2005). Executives at her label said that Hilary Duff hadn't sold as well as her second album Metamorphosis (2003), and that she should release a new album instead of promoting her third.

Hopefully we can cite a source for this if it's true. Extraordinary Machine 14:32, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, okay, I've found sources saying that these songs (as well as "I Am") were radio singles. I've also provided a reference for some of the claims about cancelled single releases. Extraordinary Machine 03:07, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Slant Review
Why is the "professional" review of Slant added in the reviews list? If you read the review it is filled with profanity and surely cannot be accepted as a "professional" review, I have removed it. Tipexcom2 18:08, 18 February 2007 (UTC)


 * The presence of profanity in a review should not preclude it from being considered "professional"; the managers of Metacritic.com believe Slant is a "professional" enough source to include reviews from it on their website. The review gave the album one stars out of five - of course it will include strongly expressed opinions. Extraordinary Machine 20:47, 22 February 2007 (UTC)j

Worldwide sales figure removed
I've just removed the worldwide sales figure supported by http://buenavistarecords.go.com/hilaryduff/index2.html (Duff's official website), which states "Hilary’s #1 solo debut CD "Metamorphosis sold 4 times platinum, followed by her self –titled album and “Most Wanted” both of which sold 3 million records." It doesn't say Hilary Duff and Most Wanted sold three million copies each worldwide (because they say Metamorphosis "sold 4 times platinum", they're probably referring to combined U.S.-only sales for the two albums anyway), and what's more, record labels often use the term "records" to refer to combined album and single sales. I'd be very careful about taking what you read in official website biographies and other material originating from the record company at face value; usually what they do is a) exaggerate sales figures, typically by reporting numbers of shipments to retailers as "sales", and/or b) write the material ambiguously enough that it could be misinterpreted as saying something more positive (e.g. a higher sales figure) than is actually true.

Robert Christgau's review
Can someone include this in the reviews? Link: http://www.robertchristgau.com/get_artist.php?name=Hilary+Duff TheKillerAngel 20:15, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

singles
Do radio singles even count as real singles? From my current knowledge, there are only two known singles from this album which are Fly and SWOM (Aus only). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.85.133.214 (talk) 06:26, 1 May 2007 (UTC).

Orphaned references in Hilary Duff (album)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Hilary Duff (album)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "CAPIF": From Metamorphosis (Hilary Duff album):  From Dignity (album):  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:47, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
