Talk:Golden (Jungkook album)

Songs do not need to be declared as "lead singles" from an album to be singles from that album

This is some sort of strange K-pop industry standard that the rest of Wikipedia and most sensible editors do not follow. If songs are indisputably singles, as "Seven" and "3D" are, and an album is then announced (as Golden has been) with them included throughout the track list and not tacked on as "bonus" tracks, then they are singles from that album. Neither the record label nor a news source needs to say "those singles are the first two singles from this album"—we know that they are. I am aware that K-pop releases generally have a "proper" lead single that releases at the same time as the album and so I presume this is what Ïvana is editing based on, but this standard of the label needing to declare what the "proper" lead single is is not defined anywhere on this website as being a requirement. It is noted in basically every source reporting on this album that "Seven" and "3D" are singles and they are included on the album, meaning that they are singles from the album. They should not be being removed from the infobox based on "what Big Hit has done before with BTS's releases". They should be listed as the first two singles—it's common sense. Pinging @Lk95, Carlobunnie, PepeBonus, and Yasseduction: as editors of this article and the singles.

I'm also noting that an example was raised that it's similar to how "Dynamite" isn't a single from Be. It appeared clear to me at the time it happened—and I'm not aware of any consensus on that article—that "Dynamite", an English-language track, was tacked on as the last song to a mostly Korean album because the group had a huge hit with it around the same time, and it was probably not initially the plan to always have it on the Korean-language project the group had been working on. Even though I'm not convinced that what happens on other Korean acts' album articles needs to happen here, I can understand how in that instance "Dynamite" isn't considered a single "from" Be.

Since the songs were released separate and are singles, I would say keep it there. Also, since it's included with the album. Reading [1] I didn't see anything to where it couldn't be added. I say it's fine overall. Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 07:36, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

I agree with @Ss112: Both songs are clearly listed as singles for the album in multiple publications, despite standard K-pop album widely releasing a "focus-track" as some sort of lead single on the album release day. This is evidently not the case here. His band mate had a somewhat similar rollout, with the release of a lead single more than a month ahead of the debut album. Lk95 (talk) 12:23, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
