Semi-protected edit request on 6 December 2014[edit]

Throughout the article, the artist (J. Cole) is addressed as "J.Cole" (with no space), however the it's actually "J. Cole" (with a space). I know it's a small edit but it adds to the professional sense of Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gurses9 (talk • contribs)

Already done All the instances of "J. Cole" have a space in them. Stickee (talk) 00:08, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Pure Sales"[edit]

The issue with using this terminology, is that SoundScan is counting additional album sales based on the sales of individual songs and the data collected from streaming services:

"SoundScan and Billboard will count 1,500 song streams from services like Spotify, Beats Music, Rdio, Rhapsody and Google Play as equivalent to an album sale. For the first time, they will also count “track equivalent albums” — a common industry yardstick of 10 downloads of individual tracks — as part of the formula for album rankings on the Billboard 200."[1]

I.E.: "pure sales" is redundant at best, and insulting [To the artist] at worst. A sale is a sale, as the saying goes. You can't break them out in "pure sales" in the sense of physical copies vs. digitial, because ten purchased songs are counted as one album sale, and 1,500 streams one sale. There's no more "hard sales" vs "digital sales" or even "hard sales + digital sales" vs.. What exactly? Everything falls into one pot now. The term "Additional sales" can then be used for just that: the additional sales counted through single sales and streaming data, but even that borders on redundancy. It's not enough to simply put "pure sales", because again, a sale is a sale is a sale is a sale. Disputing SoundScan's methods, does not equate to disputing a sale, because the sale has still been registered. Wreiad (talk) 05:35, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
