Talk:Backstreet Boys/Archive 1

message: I do think the edits by 50cent are bit overboard, but wholesale reverting isn't the way to deal with it.  There is good content being added, copy edit it and/or trim it a bit rather than trashing it all. CarbonCopy 20:18, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  What the hell? 

message: >>The Backstreet Boys gave 8 performances at the 2000 Grammy awards. 
I think this is a misleading statement. What are these '8 performances' attributed to? Because it sounds like each song in the medley they performed is being counted as a performance... which I would argue is not a correct assessment. TheHYPO 20:24, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia - Grammys? 

message: Unless sources for the trivia statements are given, they will be deleted. Some of them are really unbelievable, like 1 million tickets sold during 24 hours (close to impossible physically). `'mikka (t) 15:42, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Trivia - unreferenced

message: At the end of this article, I found this list of "similar artists" to Backstreet Boys.
Bryan Adams 
Kelly Clarkson 
Aly & AJ 
Hilary Duff 
Simple Plan 
Maroon 5 
Matchbox 20 
Coldplay 
Rob Thomas 
Savage Garden 
I understand the usefulness of such a list as adding to the resources Wikipedia can provide, but some of these artists are a bit of a stretch in my opinion, especially Coldplay. I mean, yes, Incomplete is basically a rip-off of Clocks, and maybe the entirety of their newest album continued to coast on Coldplay's success with a similar musical style, but does the rest of their back catalogue really bear much similarity to Coldplay's? I'd question some of the other bands on this list as well (Simple Plan for sure), but I haven't listened to enough of them.
Perhaps All Music Guide's list of artists similar to Backstreet Boys might be of some use.--Mizry 23:26, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Similar Artists

message: I changed from Pop Rock to Teen Pop that is their style (also AMG reports it). Pop Rock is wrong, because Pop Rock = REM, Smiths, earlier Radiohead etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.10.183.248 (talk • contribs).
:I agree, but Pompertown is consistently reverting. He also refuses to discuss the matter. +Fin - 21:47, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Genre 

message: "The third international single "I Still" debuted at #1 on the Japan International Singles Chart with 2,182 copies sold, making the first ever international single to enter at #1 on the chart in Japanese history" - This doesn't make sense to me. 2,000 copies of a single cannot reach #1 in Japan. Oricon (Japanese Billboard)'s lowest debut at #1 for a single is around 25k. If it's talking about the International Singles Chart then it doesn't make sense either since the chart is only composed of international artists anyways. That's like saying artist "A" is the first ever country artist to debut #1 on the Country Albums Chart. --Nikitashot 8:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Why are the tracklistings for each album the BSB have released listed on this page?  They should be listed on the respective album's page. Anyone else agree? -- Sarz 03:45, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Penthouse? 

message: Worked trivia into some new sections. The sections need some more content & tweaking to be sure, but are a good starting point I think, and much much better than the ungainly & unwikified trivia section. I also put a citation needed tag because some of the veracity may still be doubtfull. Bantosh 16:52, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Trivia gone!

message: I just corrected some punctuation in the second paragraph.  The first paragraph is really muddled.  Starts out talking about The Firm (management company) then suddenly is talking about Jive - their record label?  It's not clear, and the relationship between The Firm and Jive is not clear.  Also, the sentence beginning "The band's lawyer" is particularly confusing.  I suspect it just needs minor edits, but I don't know anything about the band and don't want to attempt to fix it myself lest I make it clear but wrong.

thread_title: The "During Their Break" paragraph(s)

message: Would it violate copyright or any other laws/terms to link to the page where you can hear the stream of the leaked new single, "Happily Never After"? I'm not sure if it was leaked accidentally or purposely. I'm guessing the latter, but I don't know if it would be bad form to link to that page. For reference, the page is  this. --Nelliebellie 21:13, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Happily Never After 

message: Ah!  Who added that paragraph under "New Album"?  It sounds copied from a foreign magazine that wasn't very well translated into English.  It's also redundant because it repeats information from previous paragaphs in the article.
