[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 12:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why do overethuiastic want to dilute the validity of the article!

This is the correct sales (Total sales: 17.5 million (US) / 35 million (worldwide)). Why put '(Total sales: 24 million (US) / 38.5 million (worldwide))'. Why people put this, do that math and count the sales in the table it is less!! Once again overethuiastic fan exaggerating sales. What y'all think?

[edit] cleanup tag

This page is really cluttered and messy. In particular the tables should adhere to the Tables for Charts guideline which encourages: no boldfacing of numbers, the removal of the # symbol, the removal of number-of-weeks spent at peak positions. The album images are a good idea but all these different tables on the same page is quite overwhelming. Perhaps the solo projects can be moved to the pages pertaining to Destiny's Child members and this page can contain releases by the group only? I suggest this article look a little more like Prince discography or Missy Elliott discography pages. Doesn't have to be an exact replica of those styles, but at least its much easier to take in the information when things are organized in a cleaner way. Just my suggestions... -- eo 07:20, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I totally agree according to their record company and their website their combines sales of singles and albums of Destiny' Child and the sales of their individual careers amounts to 40 million and this is way over!! 'No TRUE! 40+ million stated relates the group sales only! Read Beyonce new press release her record company mentions her solo sales does mention those of dc. It makes no sense to include solo success with dc's (hypothetically say in ten years time you will include all the former member solos ales. The article will become excessively long and silly. Readibility and crediablity ruined. Just look at Jackson 5 discography, solo success not included. However, sometimes people mention MJ's group and solo sales when talking about his culmulative sales in his individual article. People should at indvidual article if they want to find about sol success'

[edit] Totally Agree Discography article is a mess!!!!

Deleted solo discographis because it was ridiculously long! Readibility ruined because fans wanted include Letoya's discography even though she not been apart of the group for six years. People are better off looking at each members individual biographies for details on their solo discography. Whatcha y'all think. Holla Back.

Agreed. It would be better off to spin the solo material off into separate pages then link it off of here. Since the group has disbanded, solo material will most likely just accumulate, and eventually it will have very little to do with Destiny's Child (other than the member being part of it at one point).

Those LeToya fans are out of control. I've been trying to clean up the LeToya Luckett article for the past few weeks, but they continuously revert my changes. The article has turned into a crazy fanpage. --Musicpvm 06:36, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
