editWas there really a gold 80 RPM record ? I always thought that the older records were 78 RPM and not 80 RPM --OZ_Rhett 13:48, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

The 8th UK Best Selling Single of 1981
editLike various other 'Parts' of Wikipedia, you have used a Uk Chart Site based on Rankings for 'Shaddap You Face's' Year End place in the UK's Best Selling Singles of 1981. The Site that so many of you use is not based on Sales. It is based on Chart Positions only. That Site has the Joe Dolce Hit as the UK's 15th Biggest Hit of 1981. It was actually the 8th UK Best Seller for that Year. You can see the UK's correct Top 10 Best Selling Singles for each Year at this Site - http://www.everyhit.com/chart4.html 86.2.61.136 (talk) 15:57, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
Inaccurate information correction.

 | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
I am the creator and copyright holder of Shaddap You Face. I have WP:COI. The first line has two inaccuracies and I request they be adjusted.
1. "Shaddap You Face" is a song written and performed by Joe Dolce (released under the name Joe Dolce Music Theatre) about a fictitious rebellious Italian boy.
Correction: It is not fictitious but based on my childhood experience so I request the word 'fictitious' be omitted.
2. Released in late 1980, it set a number of sales and longevity records. The song was financed by Mike Brady. [2][3]
Correction: Despite the two references cited, this last part is completely wrong. The ABC and Countdown got it incorrect as well. The song was already financed, recorded and the film clip self-produced when it was licensed to Mike Brady by my company, Dolceamore Music. I request this last line be deleted.
I plan to suggest further edits to address inaccuracies so please advise if the format I am presenting in is acceptable. 124.150.59.40 (talk) 02:12, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
Done. For future requests, I'd recommend pointing to better sources when there are conflicting accounts. – Thjarkur (talk) 14:06, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
