replies: text: I'm as anxious to get this album as some others, but I think it's unnecessary to change the track listing multiple times a day. There are evidently going to be many records on this album, but speculation is generally frowned upon and sources are required for the unconfirmed tracks. Thanks. Velten 23:54, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Track listing

message: How come this album got a Parental Advisory Label? I heard all of the track and there are only a few 'shit' in the whole album... compare this to Love.Angel.Music.Baby, the track "Hollaback Girl even got 37 'shit'... It's so confusing.. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Randyrusli (talk • contribs).
Um, I know in "Yummy" Pharrell says the n-word, so maybe that's the reason. I agree, I've only heard one shit.--Lizzie 22:40, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

message: There are only negative reviews listed here ... how 'bout some good ones? Billboard and Amazon both gave it positive, better-than-LAMB reviews. I think it's a little slanted to only give it bad reviews.
I think it's very slanted.  It says the reviews were "mixed", but then it goes on to list three bad ones.  That does more harm than good.  Harvard Birdman 19:43, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Many albums do this. For example almost every track from Rihanna's Good Girl Gone bad have been getting airplay and dance play. Hate That I Love You has even entered the top 100 on Mediabase, but it hasn't been released yet. The only tracks to be mentioned are Umbrella, Shut Up and Drive, and Don't Stop the Music.

text: Yes, you are right and we all know that the album has sold moe than 3 million albums worldwide. But, we can't expect the visitors to add all the numbers. The source which says that Love.Angel.Music.Baby sold 7 million copies worldwide clearly mentions the number 7 million. Therefore, we nee a similar source for The Sweet Escape too.

thread_title: Next Single?

message: Shouldnt we find out or smthng why the sweet escape salesare so desperately so low!? i mean 2million for a star like gwen stefani is redicilous! mariah TEOM has sold almost 11 million and when she was at the start of her career her albums were selling 30 and 25 millions!!!!why doesnt gwen achieve these sales also. It's really weird 'cause the singles from the album are enjoying astonishing succes while the album itself struggles to sell2 millions (actual sales by mine opinion are 1.65 million but anyway, i guess that im wrong counting all countries i guess that it has sold over 2 millions). anyway... why does that happen. Has anyone got a logical explanation for all this!!!! im really curious 2 know...
:Now days everything is digital. Also people dont want to spend complete money on albums coz they feel that in an album, out of ten only four songs are good. So everyone buy the singles through the sites. That is why the single sales of the album are brilliant. The Sweet Escape song's single sales are around 5 million. It's not happening with The Sweet Escape only. Fergie's solo album has 2 U.S number ones, 1 number 2 and one number 4 single. Yet the album sales is only 3 million. It's great to know that Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake and Carrie Underwood and Nickelback have been able to cross 6 million.User:Luxurious.gaurav
::Just because an album hasn't made 2 million sales domestically, doesn't mean it hasn't sold 2 million copies. Anyway, it's not selling that well because it's not that good, and nor was LAMB. LAMB had a small handfull of very popular songs with mostly oversynthecised songs and was overrated until people realised the album was a poor album resting on the shoulders of the success of some catchy singles and a strong No Doubt catalogue. This album isn't selling well because people were disappointed by LAMB and the lead single from this hasn't impressed like last time. --lincalinca 09:21, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's all because of CD sales failing miserably in the US. Just look at Kelly Clarkson's My December sales. It has only sold 500,000 copies. Breakaway by now, would of almost gone 2x Platinum. Tcatron565 16:55, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why are sweets escapes sales so lowww????? 

message: It is a single because she recorded a single version of the song with Damian Marley, his Wiki page said so, too. The CDS has leaked to the internet.
Also, you should make a "singles" section, too!
:The Damian Marley article doesn't provide any source for that.  Any information on future releases must have a reliable source (see WP:CRYSTAL).  17Drew 04:02, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Next single is "Now That You Got it"

message: It's been confirmed. August 27, 2007 will be official airplay release for the remix of "Now That You Git It". It will featured Damien.  So, of course the article will have to be made now. Tcatron565 19:49, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Now That You Got It (Remix) 

message: Well, for some reason I just have a feeling that "Wonderful Life" is her going to be her 6th single!. Dunno why, but Gwen did say this at her concert: "This is one of my favorites songs from the album, and I want to share it with you all. It's called "Wonderful Life"..." and basicly she starts singing it. You might think I'm weird but i just have a feeling XD! Explode24 14:04, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wonderful Life 

message: With "Yummy" I found these following images: Image 1 and this Image 2. Does this mean this is a single or just a promotion. BatterBean 18:34, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as i know, Yummy was released long back as a Club Single. Club singles don't chart and are not actually proper singles. They are just vinyls with the track. The image 1 i think is the cover or maybe a fan cover.  Luxurious.gaurav 09:36, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: List i found about Credits

message: A few notes to improve.
*"left over from L.A.M.B. writing sessions" -> "left over from the L.A.M.B. writing sessions"
*Background section should be in two paragraphs - Second should probably start at "The two produced "Wind It Up", "Orange County Girl", "Yummy", "Breaking Up", and "Candyland" during these sessions..."
*You could replace ref #13 with 
*Rename "Credits" to "Personnel" and get a source for it
*"Chart (2007)" table needs a source.  There are usually websites that cover each country, for example in Australia there's http://www.australian-charts.com
*Hopefully semi protection can be lifted soon.
*This talk page should be archived soon.

replies: text: I don't think there is any more singles, because she has begun work on her new album with no doubt and plus she is also pregnant. I don't think she'll be doing any music video while she is pregnant. But, it is still possible. --BatterWow (talk) 10:44, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If she's finished, thats a good thing because remember when she released "Crash"? No music video, which made it flop. This album is also a big flop, with only 2 of 5 songs hitting the Top 10. Genevieve-Tamerlaine (talk) 20:17, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I know this page is not meant for this talk but i would like to say that selling around 3 million copies worldwide in this period of extremely low sales is a big achievement. Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Lopez, Kylie Minogue, Enrique Iglesias all sold very poorly. I think the only flop is Now That You Got It. For being hit you don't need to be hit in U.S only. Early Winter has been successful in Europe, another achievement. 4 In the morning garnered more than 2 million UWC points. The Sweet Escape and Wind it up are success stories. I don't think it is a flop. Medium hit. But yes, i don't expect any more singles either. Indianescence (talk) 20:26, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Album finished? 

message: I would just like to point out that the titular song (Sweet Escape) is featured on an (admittingly old) album of Kidz' Bop, specifically Kidz' Bop 12.
I'm sure the listings on that album are located somewhere, but I haven't looked. 69.49.67.164 (talk) 02:31, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kidz Bop 

message: I think this article fails in the criteria of "broad coverage". For a music album, it is important to include information about its musical style and composition/genre etc, yet this article, which is even a GA, does not. I think it needs info related to that. I would have included it myself if it were L.A.M.B, but no matter how much I love Gwen, I just can't create a taste for Escape, so I unfortunately can't. But the nominator (for the GA in the first place) should take this matter up I believe.  --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 15:11, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
