[edit] Chart, sales and certification information is clearly incorrect

This page is a mess with figures which were clearly made up and consisted of wishful thinking. The three certifications which were checked (UK,US,NL) were incorrect. In fact none of their albums ever charted on the Billboard charts. The Chart Trajectory was impossible (http://www.zobbel.de/cluk/CLUK_S5.HTM) because it only spend 36 weeks in the Top 200. It was also much too fluent for a correct trajectory.

Making up chart, sales and certification figures only leads to a low quality pages which are completely unreliable. Please read WP:V and it is upto the person adding the data to provide references - not the other way around - because if you keep on making up figures then don't be surprised if all the chart and sales figures are removed, because it is better not to have anything at all.

All additions and changes by 200.21.68.135 were removed from the Sugababes pages, because he seemed to have added the fast majority of incorrect figures. There are presently no album figures for Australia, The Netherlands and Germany yet, however Swisschart is rapidly expanding and just released an archive of the Australian singles from 1986 to present, so those figures can be validated soon (hopefully) and are luckily the same as their respective wikis and look reliable as well. Nevertheless the sales figures need to be verified and that will be hard as well, since sales figures is something everybody talks about but nobody seems to have any reliable figures - and includes the music industry itself as well. So sales figures which are not based on a genuine certification will have to be removed in due time. The tag will be removed from the Sugababes album, because at least it looks a lot better now.
