"Wrap Your Arms Around Me" worldwide sales

Latest comment: 8 days ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Notably, the album sold 1.2 million by 1984 is generally acceptable. I am disputing this as there was a 1999 article based on a "Mikro Gids" Dutch TV guide that says that this particular album sold 2.5 million copies worldwide.....

Image scans here for the claim: [1][2]

Na mijn film maakte ik samen met Mike Chapman mijn eerste internationale solo-cd Wrap Your Arms Around Me. Het feit dat deze plaat 2,5 miljoen keer verkocht is, gaf mij het gevoel dat ik ook alleen succesvol kon zijn (Original Dutch Language)

After my movie, I recorded my first international solo album Wrap Your Arms Around Me, together with Mike Chapman. The fact that this album sold 2.5 million copies, gave me the feeling that I could be successful on my own as well. (Translated from Dutch to English)

What we can do is cite this as an offline source... per WP:COPYVIOEL since this particular website is a Google blog, a violation that we cannot have...and this magazine exists...

@HereIGoAgain Great, you can include the sales in the article as far as there is a source. Markus WikiEditor (talk) 15:09, 2 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
