[edit] Chart positions

  • Can anyone tell what website the chart positions were obtained from? Thanks! Wickethewok 02:46, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Ask User:Escobillo? Seriously, I'd also like to know — although I wonder if this information is even online. (And if someone out there does have a stack of mid-90s music magazines lying around, we really could use more info on this song as there seems to be next to nothing written about it online.) –Unint 06:24, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Also, don't count on the trajectories to stick. User:ShadowHalo has been working to remove them across the site. –Unint 06:26, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
  • What do you mean by "trajectories"? Messaged Escobillo btw. Wickethewok 04:55, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
  • That would be the extended tables of chart positions by week. Called indiscriminate at Wikipedia:Record charts. –Unint 22:44, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Ah, ok. Makes sense - they don't add much to the basic chart info (# weeks on chart, top position). Wickethewok 04:23, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
    • I may not have found the source for the chart positions yet, but I have gained full access to the 1996 Billboard article on "Children", from which I have obtained information that should count as "critical commentary" on the chart positions. (Except most of the countries don't match — I can't corroborate info on Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands with charts for Finland, Sweden, and Switzerland!)
    • Is what I added clear enough? I excluded the names of most of the licensee record labels and the names of music executives quoted, which seem pointlessly obscure. I also excluded the numbers of weeks at number-one and sales figures quoted in the article, as the information included here is clearly newer (in excess of those). –Unint 19:58, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Nice find on the Billboard source, Unint.  :-) Wickethewok 22:58, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Origins of dream house

Found enough newspaper articles to expand on the social atmosphere in Italy apparently responsible for the creation of the music. I'm saving some material for a longer summary at dream house, as well. Unfortunately, I have no statistics on car accidents in Italy following the creation of dream house. (The outlooks at the time did seem a bit idealistic.)

Also, I've read that dream house was just a name used outside of Italy to market what was called "Mediterranean progressive house" domestically. The problem is, there are no Google hits for this term expect in reference to Gigi D'Agostino (one of which is that very article). Never mind that, just searched for "Mediterranean progressive" alone. And it does seem to be primarily an Italian phenomenon. Anyone able to corroborate this? –Unint 21:19, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
