Talk:Metallica discography

message: Hello all,
I don't know if charts updates regularly or not, but, I find some errors on it, for example on Load, I've corrected it (with reference), please check the charts.
Another thing is, if we allowed to add more charts, in "TheMet" site you can find more charts but only applies for death magnetic, this album charted on more countries that we have here.
some one please check it.

thread_title: Metallica album's chart positions

message: Per style guidelines and consensus at WP:DISCOG and WP:DISCOGSTYLE, there should be 10 columns max in the tables and stuff like B-sides should not appear in discographies. I don't see any past discussions about this. Is there a particular reason why this page has extra columns and B-sides and Demos sections? - eo (talk) 17:19, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: But I think we should have B-sides in disco pages cause they are some parts of bands discography, and I think there is no problem to have this on the page, about columns, there is no specific law about maximum rows and columns, and it can be as large as your table is, that is just recommendation.

Master Of Puppets is not even near ...And Justice For All sales.

replies: text: All cited worldwide album sales on this article were using a bogus reference (repetition of the Finnish album sales ref.), so I've removed all unsourced sales from the studio albums section. I've corrected all Finnish sales from said source, added all the US sales I could find with notes about SoundScan, and added worldwide sales for St. Anger - the only one I could find.

message: Lords of Summer was recorded and released 2 years before Hardwired in totally different sessions to the rest of the album, and doesn't even appear on the standard version. Its on the bonus editions alongside 3 random covers released since Death Magnetic. So why is it listed as a Hardwired single? This bugs me. Is it possible to list it as a Non-album single?
Yes, I know they re-recorded it for Hardwired... But if they rerecorded Motorbreath in 2001 would you call it a St Anger song if it was included on a bonus disc?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.126.48.250 (talk) 04:03, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

message: In the §§ Studio albums, the sales go up with the chart positions until their self-titled album. After which, the sales are more than 3 times less than The Black Album, but each album subsequent is shown as consistently charting at number 1 (or near enough). Still strong, but the band has not carried the popularity of its heyday, as reflected by their album sales. I therefor am suspicious of the nearly universal number 1 chart positions following Metallica's self-titled album, which are individually uncited. — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 13:29, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Partially cited, and that's the problem. It appears that while we should see a lot of 1s in the chart, it looks to me like the chart has been puffed up. This doesn't necessarily mean that some of the 1s should be 4s or 15s, it means that the sources given across the top row of the chart are actually missing much of the data needed to assemble the chart. This needs to be put under the microscope. — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 22:47, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm still unclear as to why, among other's, Hung Median's charts are being called into question, but it seems to me that it is worth noting that while not all of their websites show the entire full weeks chart positions archived before a certain year for Load and Reload, some do. For instance, on the Netherlands chart website, Load did not debut at no. 1, but no. 8, it climbed to no. 1 the following week. While in Australia, Austria, Flanders Belgium, Finland, and Switzerland they do have the full first weeks chart positions and it still shows Load debuting at no. 1. yawaraey (talk) 01:07, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

text: Yet again, why are you calling websites that are generally considered reliable into question? Why does there need to be a second citation for a chart position if the first chart position is already correct? Just because their subsequent album after Metallica failed to reach the sales of the aforementioned album does that mean that they were not highly anticipated when they when released and that they did not have big first week sales? Should we start questioning the chart positions for everyone else who failed to reach the sales of their previous albums? yawaraey (talk) 01:53, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

text: I think you misapprehend their level of popularity. If their popularity slipped after the self-titled album, it is only relative to that album's record sales performance. It is the top-selling album of the SoundScan era (i.e., no other album has sold more copies in the U.S. since SoundScan started tracking sales precisely in 1991). Metallica remained (and remains) hugely popular after the self-titled album. Indeed, all of their subsequent studio albums debuted at No. 1 in the United States, as this Wikipedia page correctly shows. This was not unusual for major rock acts whose fans would rush out to buy albums upon release. Billboard's addition of streaming as a component of the chart in December 2014 complicated this pattern, but Metallica remained popular enough to debut at No. 1 in 2016 with first-week sales over 50,000 of "Hardwired... to Self-Destruct." 2605:E000:9FC0:26:B82D:E370:1457:C6E4 (talk) 03:49, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Charts capture how much was sold that week.  Sales are for all time.  Of course the newer ones have less sales, they haven't been out that long and sales are down across the board for most acts since most people stream stuff.  There is nothing suspicious about these chart positions, especially since they are properly cited.  CAMERAwMUSTACHE (talk) 00:12, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
