Talk:Carrie Underwood discography

message: We'll move the discussion here, but frankly, the reason I object to the addition of columns is the fact that it will get cluttered later on. Hypothetically speaking, if one of the albums manages to go platnium in Australia, but just say, it doesn't in America, not only will there be a unnecessary addition of a column, but also, it will be cause major blank spaces. Blank spaces I don't think are allowed in tables, I don't know, I'll check with MOS. But I feel its gonna get all convuluded and messy. σмgнgσмg(talk) 11:25, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: if you don't like "blanks", just add some "—". Anyway, I'm sure Carrie won't get any certifications in other countries in a few years. she is a country artist, and only few gained popularity worldwide. usually, this kind of column is mostly used for country artists in US and Canada.Langdon (talk) 15:22, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Uh, but then "—" already denotes something else. So, in essence, there isn't any thing you could represent with that. σмgнgσмg(talk) 06:21, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Coloumn issue 

message: Removed the "I Told You So" current chart position of #114.  There is no such thing as a chart postion of #114 on a 100 song chart.  A song that is on the Bubbling Under chart at #14 is not the same thing as chart position #114 because songs that fall off the Hot 100 could, in theory, be the next songs in line at 101, 102, 103, etc, even though they're not eligible for the Bubbling Under chart.  Therefore, there is truly no way of knowing if a song really is #114 if it's not on the Hot 100.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.112.214.98 (talk) 15:54, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Sorry, country charts must be placed first because she is a country artist. Langdon (talk) 00:54, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I see nothing in WP:CHARTS that says that the Hot 100 goes first. Diamond Rio discography, also a featured list, puts the country positions first. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 22:37, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of Canadian country charts & placing US Hot 100 first 

message: Recently some changes were made that do not make sense, , so I am starting a discussion here.  According to the new changes "Inside Your Heaven" is no longer Carrie's first single.  Discography singles do not usually have release dates listed on Wikipedia, so why would one section need release dates but not the other two.  What exactly are "one-track albums" stated in the edit summary above.  Also why would "Temporary Home" need to be in two different sections?
Furthermore, I think we need clear and distinct criteria for the single sections.  What exactly is the difference between "The following singles were not released to any radio formats, but some were charted from unsolicited airplay." and "These songs were charted from unsolicited airplay and/or sales on Billboard charts."  Since these changes have been challenged, I am going to revert back to the previous version. Aspects (talk) 03:43, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The Other singles & Other charted songs sections are confusing to me. To me, "The following singles were not released to any radio formats, but some were charted from unsolicited airplay." & "These songs were charted from unsolicited airplay and/or sales on Billboard charts." are basically the exact same thing. I think both sections need to be merged into one. Nowyouseeme | wanna chat?  07:31, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: To be honest, I think the whole thing just needs to be rewritten. It's so confusing, and there are so many words. Something does need to be done about this. No wonder it lost its FL position. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 14:20, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm glad someone else thinks this page needs work too, I made this to work on it, if u want to help. Theres a part in 'Other charted songs' that I cant fix and its driving me f***ing crazy.. Nowyouseeme | wanna chat?  16:55, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

text: The two separate sections especially with the "These songs charted from unsolicited airplay and/or digital downloads." under the Other charted songs is more simple, more straightforward and makes more sense than your three sections.  The three sections really makes no sense when talking about "Inside Your Heaven" because it was her first official, but under your sections people would think it was not.  You have been trying to move "Inside Your Heaven" out of the main singles chart since January with no real explanation.  Also the smaller 9pt font is not needed because the regular sized font fits equally in the chart and is easier to see.  Because there seems to be a consensus between myself, Nowyouseeme and EnDaLeCoMpLeX for the two sections I am going to revert back to the consensus version. Aspects (talk) 06:26, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Recent changes/definitions of the three single sections 

message: While there is nothing inherently "wrong" with the current layout of the singles section, I feel that splitting the singles table by decade (in this case, 2000s and 2010s) would benefit the readability and also reduce the number of non-charting em-dashses since no singles since "Before He Cheats" (2006) have charted at AC, and the Canada Country chart is only applicable to "Good Girl" (2012) and subsequent releases. In my experience, most artists with the volume of releases that Carrie does feature split tables in their discography (see Lady Antebellum discography, Blake Shelton discography, Jason Aldean discography). This would also avoid the Hot Country Songs / Country Airplay confusion that resulted in the merged columns not typical of other country music discographies. 
Initially I had planned to open discussion here before making the change, but since there was no good way to direct users to this Talk page sub-section to have that discussion, I opted to be bold and code the split section. If anyone has objections to the new format, please speak up here, but let's try to keep any back-and-forth that might emerge on this page and not make contradictory edits on the article. So... thoughts? Songsteel (talk) 19:49, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: There was too many genre-specific Billboard charts for each single. The tally was a total mess. For better viewing, I kept only the most significant country chart for country artists, the Country Airplay - as country artists and their labels focus totally on radio, the Hot 100 obviously and christian chart - as Underwood has released many singles to that format.
Additionally, removed single sales figures - as most other artists' discography pages display only certifications (sales threshold).
If one desires to see each single's chart performance and precise sales, they go to that single's page.
Thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheHipHopRapping (talk • contribs) 03:30, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I wish you had come to a consensus on this rather than doing it anyway as is the norm for most big changes on Wikipedia pages. This aside, someone needs to go back and add the "US Country" chart. This is still VERY important today- used for every single other country artists. It is the sales chart & there's no good argument for removing it. --Jonathan Joseph (talk) 22:45, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree about keeping the US Country" chart, but not all the other sub-genre charts and the sales tally, which makes the overall Singles tally a mess...
