Re:Blah Blah Blah

I reverted the Canadian HDS sales because you provided no citation to verify such.. Content must always be verifiable on Wikipedia. Especially sales statistics like that. Perhaps you should take a read of WP:VERIFIABILITY before making incorrect accusations. As for North America, there may be an exception, but music wise, it commonly relates to the charts of the United States and Canada. • вяαdcяochat 05:11, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps we require some input from other contributors. I simply have no problem using either option. Bring up this issue on the talk page for the article if you wish. By the way, in the chart performance section, it specifically mentions the debut position of the song in both the U.S. and Canadian charts, later stating it was a top ten hit in North America. Just incase you thought otherwise, the Canadian Hot 100 is mentioned. • вяαdcяochat 05:11, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

imma be - the black eyed peas

where exactly does it say that it was only, strictly because of the downloads? if the song wasn't played on canadian radio stations, how do we know it would have jumped all the way into the top 5? i don't know if you've got proof about this, but nonetheless, i find it very strange that people are ignoring the fact that it's getting a single's treatment. it might not say that it charted on the chart you linked, but these charts prove otherwise:

• http://www.allaccess.com/mediabase/q/report/sevenDay/format/Z1/panel/C/detail/C/reportType/R
• http://www.allaccess.com/mediabase/q/report/leaders/song/BLACIB2+/format/Z1

you have to register to see these pages (it's free). please do so.

the song is close to being spun over 600 times. next tuesday, when the chart i linked on the "imma be" page will update, it will probably pass the 500 mark. on the history page, if i remember correctly, you said that 500 spins is heavy airplay. consequently. . . it is important to state the airplay gain. as i told someone else, we can't ignore the fact that it's getting a single's treatment. the song is getting more airplay than "rock that body." it doesn't matter how it's explained, it just needs to be stated. what if it becomes a hit? we can't just ignore this. for example, a few days ago, i went onto the album funhouse's page to check something. i noticed that someone had stated that despite not being announced as a single, it gained airplay throughout the united states (due to the performance). a few days later, it was officially announced as a single.

the statement didn't cause harm, nor did it confuse anybody. RouletteGoddess (talk) 00:14, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Re: the moment "imma be" gets added to that top 40 chart, i assure you i will mention its airplay information. RouletteGoddess (talk) 00:14, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

re: Wavin' Flag

I don't believe I am incorrect here. This is not a case in which two or three artists get together for a one-time duet. Charity songs in which a whole slew of artists come together have never counted toward the individual artists' chart totals: it's never been done in Billboard, nor any of Joel Whitburn's Billboard books, or any chart historian's totals that I've ever seen in over 30 years of chart watching. This is why you never see LaToya Jackson credited with a number-one song (USA for Africa) or Dan Akroyd (USA for Africa) or Vince Vaughan (Artists for Haiti), etc. etc. etc. Billboard does not chart the Canada Single as "featuring Nikki Yanofsky" therefore it is misleading to credit her in the Canadian Hot 100 article. - eo (talk) 16:55, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

I disagree with that. It's still Billboard, whether they are compiling the US charts or the Canadian charts. The song is not artist-credited as "Young Artists for Haiti featuring A, B, C, D, E...." and it isn't included on a Nikki Yanofsky album, the song is not released as a promotional tool for her or her music. She simply contributed vocals to a song attributed to Young Artists for Haiti. And that's the point, its a charity single: artists forgo the royalties, the credit, the everything because it's for charity. It's not a case of self-replacement at all. - eo (talk) 17:24, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Whether I live in Canada, or the UK, or am involved in the music industry doesn't make any difference. The Billboard Canadian Hot 100 does not list all of the individuals on their chart for this song - nor any charity song, nor has the US Hot 100, nor the UK Singles Chart. I have never seen nor read any instance that gives a number-one credit to all the artists who have ever participated in Band Aid or Band Aid II or Band Aid 20, other than a mention that they were a participant... and the same goes for any large group brought together for a charity. "Do They Know Its Christmas" is a UK number-one song for Band Aid (the entity), not every single person individually. This Wikipedia article is about one specific chart: The Canadian Hot 100. There is mention within this article about two Black Eyed Peas songs that succeeded each other, and those two songs are unquestionably, completely performed by and credited to Black Eyed Peas, both released from Black Eyed Peas albums, both clearly shown on the charts as "Black Eyed Peas". There is no way that "Wavin' Flag" is a Nikki Yanofsky song. If next week a song by Nelly Furtado jumps in at #1, she is not credited with self-replacement, either.... "Wavin' Flag" is no more credited to Furtado than it is to Yanofsky. If someone wants to place it into Furtado's Wikipedia discography page that's one thing, but I don't see any mention by any chart columnist or statistician who claims that Yanofsky has replaced herself at #1 because of this single. - eo (talk) 17:50, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Girlfriend on the Canadian Hot 100

I don't understand why you think Avril Lavigne's song reached number one on the Canadian Hot 100....a chart which had not yet debuted at the time of the single. I have read through billboards charts it definitely does not appear.

The article which you are referencing says Yanofski is the first to top the Hot 100 since Lavigne. The key here is that they just are referring to it as "Hot 100" not specifying whether it is the American charts or Canadian. Obviously Girlfriend would have topped the Canadian Hot 100 if it had existed at the time since she topped the American version of the chart. But the plain and simple fact is that she never topped the Canadian Hot 100. Please allow this correction on the article.--Cjhoyle (talk) 17:29, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Why on earth would the editor of the Canadian chart talk about the American Hot 100? He says Nikki is the "first to top the Hot 100" since Lavigne. Did Nikki Yanofsky top the American Hot 100? No! So if Nikki is the first to top "the chart" since Lavigne, that chart HAS to be the Canadian Hot 100. They don't mix the charts together. The Canadian chart DID exist in March 2007, but you didn't have access to it. Billboard only allowed unrestricted access in June 2007, but that doesn't mean that the chart didn't exist just because you couldn't see it. That's why you won't see Girlfriend in the public archives, but the person who creates the Canadian chart knows perfectly well what he's talking about. And, why would Girlfriend have "obviously" topped the Canadian Hot 100? Just because it was number one in America? So far, 4 of Canada's 6 number one songs of 2010 are unique and weren't no. 1 in America. Just because something is #1 or top 10 in the States does not mean anything for its Canadian chart performance. Chele9211 (talk) 21:31, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Canadian Radio Adds

Also are you aware that as of yesterday the website is now defunct? Nielson Soundscan is merging R&R Canada into Billboard and Billboard magazine. Lil-unique1 (talk) 23:53, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
