Contents 1 Britney Spears 2 Janet Jackson 3 Nirvana reference? 4 Contradiction in trivia 5 Issue Date

[edit] Britney Spears

why was this removed? she is the ONLY female artist to have her first four albums debut at #1. She became the first female to have her first three albums debut at #1 and then broke her own record when her fourth debuted at 1. I think this should be in the "Trivia" section.

[edit] Janet Jackson

janet jackson doesn't have 5 conscutive #1 albums you are for getting her best of album! Design of a Decade was not a studio album.

• it's still an album right--hottie 20:01, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't Shania Twain's record of consecutive weeks staying in the top 20 with Come On Over be mentioned in the milestones?

[edit] Nirvana reference?

Why is the following point included in the trivia section?

"In 1992 Nirvana's Nevermind reaches number one on the charts and popularizes "grunge" music and sets glam rock to the side. "

Given that most of the other facts here relate to long-term chart accomplishments, not particular genres, I'd be tempted to delete it unless someone can explain its relevance. It's of note in an article about Nirvana, or grunge generally, but not, I think, here. Gusworld 06:08, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Since when did glam rock come into the equation?!

I agree with you; I say get rid of it. -- eo 11:51, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction in trivia

One of the triva points states: "Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison are the only two artists to have two albums chart on the top 5 simultaneously." But other points state that Guns N' Roses and Nelly debuted two albums apiece at #1 and #2. These points contradict each other. --Jon Terry 19:58, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Yep, you're correct.... Im thinking the Orbison/Presley item should be removed. -- eo 20:04, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Issue Date

Do Billboard realise how stupid their issue date system is? Why do they give the chart an issue date of 9 days after the date it is actually realeased. To me it just seems stupid that the next weeks chart will be released before the issue date of the current one has even arrived

So why are you complaining about it here? Contact Billboard - I'm sure they'd love to sit down for hours and explain their research, press and printing schedules with you. -- eo 15:56, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
