[edit] Delta Goodrem US Charts

I changed the #18 US chart position to the US Adult Contemporary chart because the song never reached the US pop charts. It reached #18 on Adult Contemporary radio airplay.

Also, I do not see how "Born To Try" could ever reach #202. The US charts only have 100 positions for singles (only 50 of those positions are available without a subscription).

There is a Bubbling Under chart that has an addition 25 positions. Which means if a single reached # 25 on it, it would mean it reached #125. There are no positions after this. Please cite where the number #202 comes from, because it is a fake number.

The #202 number is not exactly fake but it is misinterpreted. I was the owner of a thread on the Official Forum which updated Delta's Airplay in the States. I found that Lost Without You peaked at #18 on the AC Airplay Charts and Born To Try reached #202. When I found out about Born To Try on the charts I was confused with why but then I realised later that Delta was on Delilah's syndicated radio show earning Born to Try lots of plays putting her there with that number. But the song was never released as a single as Lost Without You was to AC radio.

[edit] Delta Goodrem's Third Album

I've created an article about Delta's Third as yet Untitled album as I think its of an importance. I tried to link it with discography but it was taken down. I'm asking politely if it can be put up. Thanks

I have re-added it to the albums table. Both Kylie and Madonna have their fourthcoming albums listed. That page is a good source, just make sure to keep referencing all the information. Peter2012 May 9, 2007.

[edit] Referencing

I've just spent some time referencing this page of what i could. If anyone can find references for the New Zealand album certifications, and Mistaken Idenity's UK Gold certification, please add them!

Also, I have changed the total sales for Mistaken Identity. For a long time, it has been put down as selling a total of 1 million copies worldwide. There is now way on earth it has sold that much, let alone shipped that much! If you add up the certifications of Australia (5 plat; 350,000), the UK (gold; 100,000) and NZ (plat; 15,000), as well as some extra sales for other minor countries it charted in, 600,000 seems like a much more realistic and accurate figure.

[edit] Original Delta album

Delta was recording an album entitled 'Delta' between 1999 and 2000. Should this be added to the discography as an unreleased album? Harry** 10:20, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Details of the album are actually on this page List of Delta Goodrem non-album and unreleased songs. The disography page should be for official releases only.

[edit] FL Run

I'm trying to promote this article to WP:FLC. There will be significant changes happening. Anyone who is unsure or like to help, please leave a message below. If you think that I'm making many drastic changes that you aren't happy with, please don't hesitate to ask or leave a message on my talk page. Many thanks, σмgнgσмg(talk) 03:15, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Summary of changes

The summary of changes I've done (so far) are as follows:

  1. Reformatted the album sources whilst adding some sources.
  2. Changed the dashes in the album table to emdashes (&emdash;)
  3. Expanded lead - adding a bit more information on her history (album related)
  4. Added a footnoting system, evident in the singles table.
  5. Transferred the information on her single certification into a table. σмgнgσмg(talk) 06:46, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

The main issue I have at the moment is finding the appropriate sources to verify the information in this article. Also, I want to merge List of Delta Goodrem non-album and unreleased songs into this article, which, then end result would look similar to Powderfinger discography.

Like I've stated before, if you dislike any changes I've done with the article, instead of undoing it/reverting it, please discuss it on this talk page to prevent a dispute. I extend my welcome to other users to help me promote this article to FL status. Cheers, σмgнgσмg(talk) 06:46, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Great work, I've done some work on the article tonight - expanding tables, bolding the release titles, organising the structure of the article, adding som references etc. I've removed the unreleased material for now as it was unreferenced. Peter2012(talk) 01:03, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] FLC nomination
