[edit] Chart debut

MyLastView says it debuted at number 77 on the Hot 100, which may very well be right, although the source I was using said 92. Where is the source that says 92 is only for digital sales? It seems to me that this song would do better on a digital chart, not worse. Also, this source you are using for 77 is not going to last longer than a week (unlike the article I used), so hopefully you can find a better ref. Everyking 17:33, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

"Potential Breakup Song" debuted at No. 92 on the Billboard Hot 100. If you carefully look at the Billboard links, the answer was there. Look at this link: [1], the chart listing date was the week of July 14, 2007, but at that that week the single had already peaked at No. 48. Jonathan Cohen wrote an article on Thursday July 5, 2007 [2], saying that their single debuted at No. 92. So, their No. 77 appearance on the Billboard chart might have been due to a drop on downloads. "Potential Breakup Song - Single" got deleted from iTunes and people who wanted to buy the song afterwards had to buy it from Insomniatic itself. I hope this answer helps you!

It debuted at #77, not #92. The person who wrote the article probably mixed up the debuting numbers. Because a Hannah Montana song was #92 that week, not Aly & AJ. [3] Tcatron565 14:38, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Billboard is a more reliable source than achart.us. They are less likely to make a mistake. By the way, the week of July 14, 2007 does not include July 5, 2007, which was the day of their debut. Bull Borgnine 20:26, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

No it was NOT! It debuted at number 77! A Hannah Montana song was number 92 the week it debuted. It did not debut that week ,it was the following with the rest of the Hannah Montanas. I want to see the chart that shows Aly & AJ at #92 that week. NOT that source. I don't trust it. Yes, it's from Billboard, but it doesn't mean it's true. so let's not put the debut date and number in the article until that chart is available! Tcatron565 14:37, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Billboard has it listed as number 77, bot 92. See here: [4]. So it is #77, not #92. Tcatron565 20:51, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. I think you are right, it is No. 77. In the chart listings there's no appearance of "Potential Breakup Song" at No. 92. However, I had to edit the date's debut (Chart listing in the week of July 14th means its movement on the chart was on the Thursday of the week before). I know it sounds confusing but today it's August 9th. And here's the song's last movement on the chart, listed as the week of August 18th. [5] Bull Borgnine 18:32, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, sorry. Forgot all about that. :) Tcatron565 01:19, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

It's OK. I'm glad we were finally able to verify "Potential Breakup Song" 's debut date. But I have to apologize for being so stubborn! Sometimes I'm like that. =D Bull Borgnine 04:22, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This song samples from...

The piano-style rhythm heard at the beginning of the song and during the chorus samples from a Oldies song...if someone could identify it and put it under "Trivia", that'd be great. I really can't remember who sang the original or anything about it...only that it's an Oldie.

• I figured it out. It's Del Shannon's "Runaway". Added it to "Song Information".

[edit] Small question

Small question before I do this. Are chart trajectories still aloud? I know I've seen them in some pages, but I'm not 100% sure they are still encyclopediac. Tcatron565 19:15, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

They're encyclopedic, but some people think they're not and remove them any time they see them, so the work to create it might be wasted. Everyking 05:12, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

OK, I'll put it up, but I'll just direct their attention to this page when they delete it off. Tcatron565 21:43, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

From my experience on working in the article Never Again, chart trajectories are not allowed in music articles. Tcatron565, you should try writing the single's performance in the chart performance section. That way it won't get deleted and it will be easier to understand.

[edit] Billboard

I think that adding in the Hot Digital Songs would be great. The Pop 100, Billboard Top 100, Hot Digital Song, and Country 100 are the charts are the biggest in the US, so I think that the peak for Hot Digital Songs should be added in this page. And by looking at many other pages, I see they have tons more Billboard charts on there. Tcatron565 19:08, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lyrics

Are lyrics ok to put on the wikipedia page? It seems there is a lot of confusion over the lyrics of the song. I know they are copyrighted, but I wanted to be sure it was alright before I did it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Firebomb 87 (talk • contribs) 20:27, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

No, you can not place the lyrics on the page, however, you can place an external link to them Icestorm815 (talk) 22:15, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

You may place them on LyricWiki. A sister project of Wikipedia. Tcatron565 (talk) 22:44, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thrillville: Off the Rails

This song is heard in the video game Thrillville: Off the Rails. I'll put it in, but just to let you know it wasn't fake or anything, this song can be heard very clearly in the game. Abcw12 (talk) 03:05, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
