editThere seems to be a Best Weekend Ever Edition, which includes "Push" by Ryan Gosling and "Closer to Fine" by Brandi Carlile and Catherine Carlile. Jvaspad (talk) 16:11, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
Is Watati a single ?
editIs "Watati" really a single ? I believe it is a promotional single as it was released without prior announcement and it doesn't seem to have been serviced to any radio. Mirliz (talk) 10:57, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- I can't find any evidence of radio promotion for "Watati" and "Man I Am". Whereas, "Choose Your Fighter" has been released for radio airplay in Italy so there does seem to be a distinction between singles and promotional singles for the rollout of this soundtrack. I have made the changes accordingly.--NØ 17:49, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
Album cover?
editWhy is the vinyl and streaming version or what not the main image? The physical CD cover should be shown as alternate cover as well. Moonlightfocus (talk) 09:26, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Barbie: The Album → Barbie The Album – Both primary [1][2] and secondary [3][4][5][6][7][8] sources tend to write the title without the colon. However, there are some secondary sources [9][10][11][12] that do include the colon. In my opinion, as most sources (including official ones) seem to exclude the colon, I think it should be left out. Loytra (talk) 10:10, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
- I tried to have this moved before, but I think the consensus was that it was gramatically incorrect to not have the colon? I agree, though. All of the sources have no colon. Mellamelina (talk) 17:13, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
- Except "all of the sources have no colon" is obviously false, as demonstrated by the very proposer of this move. It's fine to make an argument one way or another, but not to falsify things in an effort to get your way. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 20:23, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose: Since source usage is mixed, there is abosolutely no reason for Wikipedia to diverge from its own standard title style (MOS:TITLES, MOS:TM). We would only do something weird like "Barbie The Album", as we did with Star Trek Into Darkness (no colon and capitalized "Into" despite MOS:5LETTER) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (capitalized "From" despite MOS:5LETTER), when independent source usage is almost universally in favor of the divergence. PS: Even if we were to accept a no-colon variance here, that would leave us by default going with "Barbie the Album" per WP:THE, MOS:THECAPS, etc., unless sources again were close to 100% in favor of the weird capitalization of "The" in mid-phrase. So, that't two different very high hurdles this RM would have to jump. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 20:23, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
- Move to Barbie the Album per nom, but lowercase per WP:TITLECAPS. See Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and the official site. The omission of a colon is nothing uncommon in the entertainment industry, for example The Matrix Revolutions, Jurassic World Dominion, Alien Resurrection, Terminator Genisys, Pacific Rim Uprising, etc. Unfortunately, because the colon is such a small punctuation mark, many sources often overlook its omission. But COMMONNAME is irrelevant here for the same reason: the colon is such a small punctuation mark, it is unlikely to impede a reader from finding the article.

- Agreed with the above, move to Barbie the Album. Another source I would like to bring up is that for all of the album's Grammy nominations, it is also referred to as Barbie The Album (with no colon). — Status (talk · contribs) 20:42, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
