Talk:Music of Glee

Auto-tune
I think this should be mentioned somewhere since it distracts so heavily from nearly every performance —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.33.30.85 (talk) 20:51, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

As do I. There have been several articles about this on the internet and in magazines. I'll see if I can find some and put together something for this page. 71.246.193.26 (talk) 15:22, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Missing songs
Shouldn't this page also talk about the songs that have been included in the series but have not been released as single and will neither be included on the CD? These are still credible songs that should be included.--Coin945 (talk) 10:03, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * How do you think discussion of other songs covered would be best incorporated, given that apparently the first 13 episodes alone will feature at least 60 covers? I notice that most of the List of songs in Guitar Hero articles are featured lists. I'm not really familiar with music articles, but do you think something similar in the vein of List of songs in Glee would work? Frickative  01:37, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * ETA: Okay, I've added a table of all songs performed by episode (and whew, that took an age). Given its size and the fact it's only going to grow as the series goes on, I'm inclined to think a spin-out article is probably the best course of action, but I'd like to hear other opinions. Although many of the Guitar Hero song lists are featured lists, at least one review questioned the notability of such articles, which I think would also be an issue were this list to stand alone. Thoughts, anyone? Frickative  03:52, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * ETA2 (last one for now, I promise). I've been fiddling with the list in my sandbox, and although unfinished, I'm satisfied that this version is both easier on the eye, and demonstrative of suitable notability to work as a stand-alone article. I'm rather pleased with how it's turning out, actually. Frickative  04:44, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Sources for chart positions
Resolved

Living in England, I'm unfamiliar with the American/Canadian/Australian charts. Does anyone know of good, reliable sources that can be used to verify the positions we have listed in the singles section? I don't mind searching through to find the right pages, but if someone could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

As an aside, I spent a while today editing the first album's infobox so that it would display all singles released, rather than just the first twelve. It occurred to me once I'd finished - do we really need to list this in the infoxbox at all? It seems as though every track on the album will be/has been released as a single, save for the bonus track. Given that we list all the singles in the section below anyway, do we really need to duplicate this information? It seems rather redundant.

Thanks! Frickative 01:22, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Frickative: Is it you that keeps removing the US chart positions for the singles? They can be verified at www.billboard.com as being correct. One can see "Bust a Move" debuts this week @ 93 & "Sweet Caroline" debuts @ 34. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.2.233.193 (talk) 13:59, 29 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you, that's all I wanted. I think I said in my edit summary, it wasn't a case of disbelieving the positions, just of not being able to find confirmation anywhere. It just makes things more difficult when editors remove 'citation needed' templates without providing a citation.


 * I'd also like to address the editor who used the edit summary function to compare being asked to provide sources to Nazism. The burden of proof falls on the person adding the positions. It's not too onerous a task to back up an assertion you're making, and I suggest you make recapping the civility policy a priority. Frickative  14:58, 29 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Australian Single Positions can be found and verified from the ARIA charts, Halo/Walking on sunshine is at 10, Don't Stop Believing is at 18 (with a peak of 5) and Its My Life/Confessions Part 2 is at 22. Shadowmaster13 (talk) 09:49, 5 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you, that has already been resolved and included in the article :) I'll strike out my message above now that it's all sorted. Frickative  11:48, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Smile
Why are there two Smiles. Why would they have two different songs called smile in a row. Obviously one needs to be removed. Neo136 (talk) 22:27, 4 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Try following the reference for the track list or Googling the album. The information is correct. Frickative  22:33, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Volume 3 - Showstoppers
I'm on a research mission now. Two blogs (which I know don't necessarily qualify as official sources) report Sony adding Volume 3 to their lists with a May 18 release date. Once I find a proper source, I'll edit the article.

Blog 1 Blog 2

Anyone mind helping me find the source? I'll happily edit. CycloneGU (talk) 03:44, 16 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Found one! Best Buy shopping page for Glee Volume 3  No tracklist yet, but this is source enough for me.  CycloneGU (talk) 17:01, 18 April 2010 (UTC)


 * And I see I was beaten to the tracklist. I knew it was coming out today (had a hunch), but was busy with things mid-day and couldn't tend to it.  We have a quick working group here.  Discussion completed. =)  CycloneGU (talk) 03:26, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
