'Jump' for next single?[edit]

It's highly likely as that has a bunch of famous artists like Skillibeng and Gunna so maybe? It's also been quite popular and getting some love so we'll just have to wait and see. This0k (talk) 19:42, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This0k, I am actually working on "Jump" since it charted and it is getting more streams by the day, but it's a song that never headlined anything or at least I haven't seen such sources. For now if I try to publish the article it will rely on the album reviews and charts for survival which might not be quite right. Thoughts? dxneo (talk) 20:21, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I made the page. It has reliable citations but is a stub right now. This0k (talk) 22:23, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems it got deleted. @Cybertrip may I ask why the article can't be created. I know I made it as a single article at first by accident but if made as a song article it should be okay. This0k (talk) 21:07, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive audio samples[edit]

Hi Dxneo, just a suggestion because I'd really like to see you get this article to GA status :) The Non-free content guideline advises against "an excessive number of short audio clips in a single article" let alone any audio clips at all (unless "omission would be detrimental to that understanding"). I would suggest that one is enough to get your point about genres across without cluttering the page and breaching copyright rules. —cybertrip👽 ( 💬 • 📝) 18:09, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Cybertrip, I will remove it now now. I was taking reference from The Marshall Mathers LP. dxneo (talk) 18:19, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Release label(s)[edit]

Cybertrip, I think you were wrong here when you said, and I quote "Epic Records is a subsidiary of Sony Music; and this edit gives the false impression that the album was released on streaming platforms everywhere except South Africa." First of all, yes Epic is a subsidiary of Sony but it does not take any credit for Epic's work. Sony distributes music for Epic, and Fax is a management company (with respect to Tyla). I have gone through multiple similar articles such as Invasion of Privacy, only the LP was released in Japan by Warner Music Italy, does it give false impression that the album was released on streaming platforms everywhere except Italy? The release history says it was released in various countries/regions and it does not specify which regions were excluded. Therefore, my point is, Tyla LP and vinyl were released in South Africa by Sony Music South Africa and track 13 was replaced by "Water (Marshmello remix)" on the vynil version. Any objections before I go on and add the information? dxneo (talk) 19:07, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dxneo. The Japan row in Invasion of Privacy implies that the CD there came out a few days later than other countries, but the album was still available to stream in Japan when it came out initially. The label part doesn't really matter in that specific case since its merely pointing out the difference in dates. If you go forward with your edit I suggest that that you say "CD • digital download • streaming • vinyl", since all those methods were available in South Africa on 22 March. —cybertrip👽 ( 💬 • 📝) 07:10, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
