[edit] Tokio Hot 100

The source used claims chart positions from both the Tokio Hot 100 chart, an unofficial airplay chart used in Japan, where there are no sources from the official, sales-based Oricion singles chart. If there is no official chart position, the table should be left without a chart position, since the Tokio Hot 100 chart positions are not official and not based on sales at all. The main problem here is consistency, or rather, the lack of it. Chart positions are cited from both charts rather than just one, and some of the Japanese chart positions do not have any citation at all. --Lunarwhisper 12:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] =Where the hell is sales for single sales

Why fan gotta too lie all about, provide a link. Cray in Love was but no 6mil lol! Check on It did not 3mil lol! provide weblink as links have been provide for albums sales.

Links Have been provided, and someone is changing this all the time.Please, respect the efforts of people and don't change this if it is in good conditions.

[edit] Cleanup tag

I have tagged this article for cleanup more than once (as well as tidying up some of it myself), but I keep being reverted. Here are the reasons why the article needs cleaning up:

1. Song titles should be in double quotation marks, not italics.
2. Solitary year, month and month-year links should not be inserted unless there is an extremely good reason.
3. Various capitalisation errors in song and album titles, e.g. "Check On It" instead of the correct "Check on It".
4. Various formatting errors, such as number-one positions being boldfaced for no good reason.
5. Far too much detail for a general discography article. If the reader want to know how Knowles' singles faired on minor component charts, then that's what the single articles are for. This article is supposed to be a general overview.

I did a bit of cleanup today in order to bring things up to better adhere to the Wikipedia Tables for Charts guideline within WP:MUSIC. However, I'm conerned about placing an image beside every single she releases. Firstly, its going to make the article way too large. As her discography grows this page is going to become huge. Second, these images really should be used with the articles about the songs, inside the yellow infoboxes. All of the release dates, etc. are also outlined in the individual articles about the songs, so this is a bunch of redundant information. I'm suggesting the removal of the excessive images here, and perhaps combine some of these tables, such as bringing the world charts info up into the main table. It doesn't make sense to have them separated. -- eo 17:00, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leaked Songs

"Creole" is a leaked song...wonder why its not on this page yet. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.111.63.40 (talk) 22:39, 22 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Singles

Split this into 3 Singles - all the singles she released herself Featured singles - singles she was featured on by other artists Other songs - songs not officially released that managed to chart.

[edit] Worldwide sales?

I'm sure there are estimates for the worldwide sales of her albums. Can someone find these and post them? Thanks.UberCryxic 04:45, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Singles Chronology

i dont know why but while ive been on vacation the order of all of beyonces singles have been rearranged. ive fixed it according to all the actual release dates.

[edit] In Da Club

About the In Da Club song. I remember hearing Beyonce's version of that song on the radio. But how come it's not listed in her discography? 74.240.64.4 (talk) 16:08, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

On Medianet.com

It shows that Beyonce Bday has sole 5.9 million copies world wide it also shows that DIL has sold 8 million worldwide —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.163.193.233 (talk) 08:33, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sales

I'm getting a little irritated over the constant changes and inflations to her records sales. First of all no sources are provide for Dangerously In Love selling over 11 million. According to the sources on the album page i's sold more around the figure of 9 million, and I doubt that the B'day dvd page is a reliable source for sales information!PhoenixPrince (talk) 00:59, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
