Talk:The Archies

This is fiction

Can we keep the storyline on this to a minimum? It is fiction. -- 67.121.113.141 18:27, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Cartoon rock group fad and the Archies

The article implies that the fad for cartoon rock groups in the late 1960's and early 1970's was the result of the Archies' popularity. Could we get a reference on that? The Archies came after the Beatles cartoon series and the Monkees (which was arguably a live-action cartoon), both from 1965. John H.

What's all this "First positive message on Kid's TV" about

I have no idea what this is meant to mean but it seems unlikely that they can all be "the first". Would someone like to explain or should I simply delete them? 80.176.190.231 (talk) 19:02, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Corrections regarding Neil Brian Goldberg Archies sessions and erroneous crediting of Ritchie Adams with lead vocals

Neil Brian Goldberg neither wrote nor produced the track "Sunshine". It was written by Jeff Barry and Bobby Bloom and produced by Jeff Barry. Songwriter credits can be verified at BMI.com/search.

Ritchie Adams did not sing lead on The Archies' "Love Is Living In You." The arranger for that session, Joe Renzetti, has identified the vocalist as his longtime collaborator, Neil Brian Goldberg.

The only time?

The Production section says of the song "Sugar, Sugar": In Billboard's Hot 100, it was ranked as the number one song of that year, the only time a fictional band has ever claimed Billboard's annual Hot 100 top spot.

Is this accurate? The Sugar, Sugar article doesn't make this claim. The Monkees were also a fictional band when their first hit single "Last Train to Clarksville" topped Billboard's Hot 100, before "Sugar, Sugar" came out (and the Monkees hadn't even debuted on TV yet). The Monkees' "Daydream Believer" also reached the same #1 spot although by that time they were an actual band. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:54, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Similarity to The Doors

Like Ray Manzerek, Veronica was shown playing a bass line with her foot in the cartoon.71.190.86.144 (talk) 01:36, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Missing information

The article includes the following sentence: "In 2020, the group made its second live action appearance..." which is a reference to the band's addition to the Riverdale TV series. The article makes no reference to the first live action appearance. 70.73.90.119 (talk) 17:06, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Discography

For what it's worth, a seven single of "La De Doo Down Down" b/w "Boys And Girls" from the 1968 "The Archies" album, was released on a seven single in South African in 1969. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agbneill (talk • contribs) 11:23, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Virtual Bands

Can I change the term "fictional band" to "virtual band" in the lead, along with a link to the main article on virtual bands? The Archies are explicitly listed in that article but the term does not show up here...Sheriffjt (talk) 20:10, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
