# Talk:Vuelve (album)

number one 43 week | Latin Pop Albums |
number one 26 week | Top Latin Albums |

"Vuelve" is a full-length spanish album, during the latin explosion (1998-2001), some artists achieved success outside Latin America and became well-known acts around the world like Ricky Martin, Shakira and Enrique Iglesias, the case here is that "Vuelve" is a spanish album and no matter how succesful an album was in that language, an album in that language wouldn't sell more than 5-6 million copies at the most, the album has sold 900,000 in the US basically and between 200-500K in some countries, 4-5 million copies sold sound reasonable, but 8 million copies is a ridiculous amount to believe, there's no way the album sold that much, the only page as a source that says that is a polish biography of Ricky, that same biography states that "Vuelve" sold as much copies as "Sound Loaded" (His 2nd english studio album), 8 million both albums, so, according to the source, "Vuelve" (a spanish album) sold as much copies as his second english studio album released when he was already a worldwide super star.

@Alberto279: find a reliable source and include the 4/5 millions record sold here.--88marcus (talk) 22:21, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
@88marcus: believe me, i have tried but what i am saying is pure math, there's no way a full spanish album could sell 8 million copies worldwide, in that case, "Vuelve" would be the best selling latin album of all times, besides the source that states that the album sold that is not a music chart, magazine or any data related to album sales, is a biography that could have been written by anyone, it's better to just remove the 8 million number with the source and leave alone the certifications.
@Alberto279: I agree with you. I found a reliable source that says the album sold 6 million copies. It's included in the article now.--88marcus (talk) 00:11, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
@88marcus: that's excellent, we should always keep wikipedia as rel and accurate as possible, 8 million for a spanish album is an insane number, did you add the source in the discography page too?
@Alberto279: yes! ;)--88marcus (talk) 17:09, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

### Infobox and lead
February 10, 1998 → February 12, 1998, as that is the release date sourced in the body
1997 is not sourced properly as the recording date in the body; you have mentioned him working on it that year but not sourced it finishing the same year
various → Various, as the word is starting the parameter
Replace hlist with bullet points per Template:Infobox album
Remove wikilink on studio album
Change release date to February 12 and remove the ref, as that is the actual date and iTunes was not around at the time so is useless here
"Rosa and Desmond Child" → "Rosa, and Desmond Child"
"generally positive, praising its uptempo tracks and its" → "generally positive; they praised its uptempo tracks and"
"The album debuted at" → "Vuelve debuted at" to avoid overusing "the album" like you have done a number of times in this para

Target composition to List of FIFA World Cup anthems and songs
""La Copa de la Vida" composed by Porter, Rosa and Desmond Child." → ""La Copa de la Vida", composed by KC Porter, Robi Draco Rosa, and Desmond Child." with the wikilink and target, as it is the first time they're mentioned in the body; you should probably introduce who Rosa is here too instead of later
"While on tour," probably would be advisable to mention the year at this point since the recording year is claimed to be 1997
"with producers KC Porter and fellow ex-member of Menudo Robi Draco Rosa and" → "with producers Porter and Rosa, and" but in the likelhood of you moving the introduction to Rosa earlier, target Menudo to Menudo (group)
"Puerto Rico and Spain." → "Puerto Rico, and Spain."


### Composition
Retitle to Composition and lyrics
"of fourteen songs consisting" → "of 14 songs, consisting" per MOS:NUM
Target to Bomba (Puerto Rico) should solely be on "of the same name"
"It features Cuban musician" → "The song features Cuban musician"
"uptempo number on which the singer" → "uptempo number, on which Martin"
What does it incorporate of gospel music; elements or something else?
"where the narrator pleads" → "and includes the narrator pleading"
By "his love interest", is it referring to the narrator pleading with the singer's interest? If so, change "his" to "Martin's".
[15][13] should be put in numerical order
"for ten years" → "for 10 years"
Change with Billboard to for Estudio Billboard since that is a TV show she was interview for and it is mentioned by the source
"narratives" with the" → "narratives", with the"

"for their album" → "from their album" to sound less confusing
""Gracias por Pensar en Mi" narrator is" → "The narrator for "Gracias por Pensar en Mi" is" but where is this backed up by the source?
It's sourced on ref number 20.

[27] should be at the end of the sentence before [52] to back up the Hot Latin Songs position
"in the United States" → "in the US that same year"


### Marketing
#### Release
The opening sentence of this section should mention the initial release of the album in the US on February 10, 1998, using the ref currently in the lead
Another user had changed the release date. I'm going to stick with the press release since online retails tend to get release dates for older albums wrong.

[5] does not mention him performing it at the final despite offering an image
Target dance to Dance music
"and the awkward" → "as well as the awkward"
"remarked that the artist" → "remarked that the singer"


### Critical reception
Remove AllMusic star rating from prose since it is in the ratings box, plus identify the reviewer by his full name
Well star ratings in the prose is usually what I do for all my albums, including my FAs, but I am open to suggestions.

The year-end positions should come after the Billboard 200 weekly performance

Remove comma after 1998

Target Portuguese Albums Chart to Associação Fonográfica Portuguesa and add a comma after the chart

### Final comments and verdict
 On hold this is a very long article so congrats; hope you can fix all of the issues! --K. Peake 18:33, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
I'll get to work on this either tonight or tomorrow. I spent the day yesterday working on another article and getting it nominated for GA. Erick (talk) 18:37, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
Magiciandude I was about to check on you today anyway as I had just finished prepping an article for GAN myself, I can see you have started going through already and good luck with the remainder of the article! --K. Peake 15:53, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
@Kyle Peake: Sorry for the lack of response, life got in the way again. Every time I come from work, I end up passing out. I am very committed to finishing this article as I intend to nominate it FA in the near future. This will probably take me a week to finish. Erick (talk) 14:54, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
@Magiciandude: It is fine since articles do not have to only remain onhold for a set amount of time; I remember having the same feeling when editing Wiki after work before covid-19 closed my place, so I totally sympathise! --K. Peake 15:09, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
Magiciandude Great to see the level of progress you have been making on this recently; will it be finished this weekend probably? --K. Peake 12:42, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
Magiciandude Spotted that you have been at work on this today, is it going to be complete tonight or another day? --K. Peake 17:09, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
Resuming work on Monday. Erick (talk) 21:55, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
Magiciandude That is good to hear, after this article has been on hold for nearly a month! --K. Peake 18:30, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
Magiciandude Can't you just run the fix dead links tool or is it not working for you? --K. Peake 07:29, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
I had no idea such a tool actually exists! Can you link it so I can use it asap? Archiving all these sources manually gets me burned out pretty quickly. Erick (talk) 14:54, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
Magiciandude Click on revision history and select fix dead links. Sorry for the late reply; I did not see your message due to the lack of a mention and I found it after coming here to check on your progress (it has been over a month, hopefully this article will be finished soon). --K. Peake 11:50, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

@Kyle Peake: Oh my God you're a lifesaver! I used the tool on this article and the other article that is currently GAR. I addressed some of your comments above. Erick (talk) 01:11, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

@Magiciandude: Very glad to hear that, I guess you can always learn something new no matter how long you have been on the site!!!  Pass time for this article now, as I can see you have implemented most of the changes apart from a few which I copyedited in; took a while but to be fair the article is massive, so nice job! --K. Peake 07:32, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
