[edit] Track names: capitalized or not?

On the initial announcement of the tracklisting of this album on Pitchfork, it was stated that the album name and all of the tracks are not supposed to be capitalized [1]. Should the tracklisting be changed to an all under case format?

I vote no. Pitchfork is the only site I've seen who made that statement, and they're by no means official.

[edit] UK album chart information

I don't see why BGC has repeatedly removed the text about The Eraser being the highest new entry in its first week in the album charts, so hopefully he/she will discuss it here. Surely it's notable that it was the best-selling new album of the week? I'm putting this here rather than on BGC's talk page in case anyone else wants to share their opinion on the matter. --CapitalLetterBeginning 12:53, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

BGC's response (in an edit summary) was:

"it was "the highest charting debut of the week" in many countries... redundant"

That doesn't make it "redundant". It would be redundant if it was information that could be gathered from something said elsewhere in the article. And, by the logic you present, the fact that it entered the album charts at #3 or #2 in many countries also means that having information about its placing in any such a country is redundant. I would argue that any reasons for including the chart performance of the album in a particular territory in the first place can be extended to include mention of the fact that it was the best-selling new album of the week (if, indeed, that is the case) in the same territory. --CapitalLetterBeginning 00:04, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
