[edit] Singles

Each singles pages should be done ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.229.1.45 (talk) 21:25, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RIAA Gold Certification

The RIAA Web site has recently undergone a major overhaul and while the new site is nicer, the searchable database has some bugs in it. Depending on the day, or the database's mood, it lists The Beekeeper as having achieved Gold status in April of 2005, I believe it was the 25th, to be exact. At other points in time, the database does not list it. I checked it again this morning, and the album was listed again. (I think you see the pattern...???)

I just wanted to point out the database's recent inconsistencies so that other Wiki-users don't think I dishonestly added the Gold status. --Pisceandreams 14:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Description

I relabeled 'Description' to 'Tour' and kept information pertaining to the tour there. The other information originally listed under 'Description' has been moved to the top of the article in the main section, since most of it deals with details of the album. The only lines I deleted are "Several later reviews however, especially on fan sites, accused Amos of having descended into a "Kitchen Sink" adult contemporary genre musically and lyrically in a bid for this accessibility. While some arguments between fan sites became quite heated, Tori was no less popular when touring for the album.[citation needed]" mainly because there were no sources for those claims. --Pisceandreams 14:18, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] B-sides

Amos recorded a "host of songs" that did not make the album? really?? I'm removing this until someone can back it up. Garlands was the only b-side anyone knows of... there's no collection! -Laikalynx 04:28, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

You're absolutely right, Laikalynx, The Beekeeper did not have a "host of songs" unavailable on the album. The B-Sides section was merely a template copied from articles on her previous albums. --Pisceandreams 22:07, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Album sales/USA Today

I removed the submission from Hekerui about "current" sales figures for the album because USA Today is not a pertinent source for music sales. That same article cited Scarlet's Walk selling 600-some-thousand copies when Billboard, an authority on music sales, has reported sales at, or now exceeding, 750,000. --Pisceandreams (talk) 16:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
