List of best-selling Latin albums in the United States

 * Nominator(s): Erick (talk) 02:27, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

This list has been in the making for a long time. I originally had the list based on the RIAA certifications, but Billboard has come out with an actual bestselling Latin albums in the US of all-time last month (which can be found here and it thoroughly sourced in the list). The article was peer reviewed by, who made List of best-selling albums in the United Kingdom a FL and is the basis for this article, and who made significant improvements to the article as well. I look forward to your feedback, thanks! Erick (talk) 02:27, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Comments That's my lot. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:01, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Title is albums, lead sentence is records... be precise.
 * "recorded in Spanish" I would be explicit and say "in the Spanish language".
 * "sold more than " vs " sold over" - be consistent, I'd stick with the former.
 * "music departments at electronics and department stores" repeat of "department" is jarring.
 * " awarded by the RIAA,[9] who began awarding" ditto for "awarded/awarding".
 * "Fijación Oral Vol. 1 " is missing a comma.
 * "was certified 11×" in prose I'd prefer to see "eleven times"...
 * "highest-certified album" I would think that should be "most-certified"?
 * I think somewhere you need to state that this list encompasses only the top 25 best-selling albums. Some people might create a similar list based on 500k+ sales or minimum certifications, and I think what I'm seeing here is just the top 25 based on sales alone, right?
 * Suddenly I'm seeing note [b] which says "Since September 7, 1992[4]", so this is best sales of the top 25 from the last 25 years. This isn't covered in the lead at all.
 * Certification column doesn't sort correctly.
 * Note [b] also raises questions over number 25 in the chart, El Hijo del Pueblo which didn't chart at all (apparently) and was release 18 months before the inclusion date specified by the note. It asks questions that should be answered somewhere in the article.
 * Sony Discos is linked to two different targets.
 * Thanks for your review TRM. I believe I have addressed most of the issues you brought up. Regarding the certifications, they are based on the numerical value of the certifications by the RIAA. As for El Hijo del Pueblo, the article where the list comes from does not address this and I've searched through Billboard's archives to see if maybe there's any article about it since its release in '91 and found nothing. I did add in the prose that Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in the US in '91 which is also the year El Hijo del Pueblo came out, although I understand that doesn't explain why Billboard added it to their list. I can only speculate that those are the sales of the album since September 1992, but that's it. Erick (talk) 12:56, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Certification col still isn't sorting properly... The Rambling Man (talk) 13:01, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Could you explain please? I am confused. Erick (talk) 13:06, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * It should sort from the lowest certification (Gold) to the highest (59x Plat), it currently does not. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:08, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * It's working on my end. If you're referring to El Hijo del Pueblo being first, it's because 2x Disco de platino was for 200,000 at the time it was certified (before December 2013 as mentioned at the footnote at the certification key) which is below standard Gold (500,000). Erick (talk) 13:12, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok, I get that (a note would be handy there too), but I get 6x and 8x Plat between Gold and Plat... ( ... 18, 20, 14, 15, 2, 3 ...) when sorted in ascending order... The Rambling Man (talk) 13:18, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hang on. I get it now. Ignore me. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:19, 4 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Support my issues resolved. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:19, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * ,, Any chance of a source review coming soon? Erick (talk) 08:00, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Sources look fine to me on a spot check, this is good to go. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:08, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the source review ! Much appreciated. :) Erick (talk) 13:14, 11 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Agree with source review, promoting. -- Pres N  16:15, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
