Talk:Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975)

replies: text: Agree.  The band's name is Eagles and not  The Eagles as they are almost always called.  Doesn't seem to bother them much, though.  In fact, I could swear of I've seen interviews where Frey and Henley have themselves referred to the group "The Eagles.":::PainMan (talk) 22:56, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Article Title

message: 1) I agree it should be Eagles: Their Greatest Hits like the above user said.
2) The High Voltage link should link to either High Voltage (Austrailian Version) or High Voltage (English [or American, I forget which] Version) instead of high voltage like it does now.

thread_title: Two Things

message: Worldwide this album is third behind AC/DC's "Back In Black"'s 42 Million in sales. Should be stated as such.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.145.40.116 (talk) 22:35, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  3rd top seller. 

message: Did minor rewrite (improving diction, etc) of intro and summary chart.  Added information (e.g. that the album's sold 29M copies to date) as well as RIAA cite.  (Nice to know the RIAA's good for something other than suing 12 yr olds and dead people.)
Changed "Genre" in the chart to "Classic Rock" (added cite) as that is how they are generally pigeon-hold today and the radio stations their music is most frequently heard upon.  Though we used to call those stations "AOR", they're now called "Classic Rock".
Has it been certified Triple Diamond yet?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.103.112.80 (talk) 14:44, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  rewrite, additional info, trivia tags 

message: My recent edits should give the backbone to a higher ranked article class, here.  More educated editors, please expound on this.  And please note this is one of the best-selling albums in history, and deserves the (citable) prose to improve the page.  Mind you, I'm quite biased knowing that I've significantly helped here, but let's get it to "A" class, people!  Let's just do it... Doc9871 (talk) 06:50, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  I Want "A" Class On This Page... 

message: That the RIAA now lists Thriller above this album suggests that Thriller is the #1 selling album in the US. While both have reached 29 times platinum, it is unlikely that the two albums have sold exactly the same amount of units causing a tie. However, this is what the article currently states.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brettpam (talk • contribs) 01:50, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem is that the methodology for determining the number of sales of an album makes it difficult to determine exact numbers for these things.  The methodology has changed over the years, while SoundScan uses direct data from sales, it has only been in use since 1991; sales records before 1991 were "sketchy" at best, so it is actually impossible to count, reliably, down to the exact number of albums each has sold.  They are sold "about" the same number of albums, both hitting 29x platinum, which is as precise as we can get.  Yes, if we could actually count every sale of each album, we could declare one to be the absolute winner, but it is quite impossible to be that accurate, especially for older albums.  --Jayron32 02:07, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a cite (Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone or Billboard, I think) from years ago, listing weekly sales of albums that have steady sales outside of the Billboard 200, and Their Greatest Hits was Number One, outselling Thriller by 10's of 1,000's. Unless Michael Jackson's death altered that equation, it is easy to conclude that the two would have ended up in a tie at some point. MMetro (talk) 13:08, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tied with Thriller? 

message: Me and a partner of mine feel this article is lacking the amount of comprehensive information needed to fulfill its potential. One possible thing we will be adding in is the history behind how the album came together. We hope this will help the article grow.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prototype1364 (talk • contribs) 15:31, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
