Talk:Music Box (Mariah Carey album)

message: Music Box maybe has sold 32 million worldwide TO DATE because in 1994 Sony released a statement that it has sold 23 million copies worldwide so compare the span of 2010 minus 1994., it has been 16 years ago since that sales figure occur so by estimated sales it must be definitely 32 its just an estimation and all of the albums in best selling albums of all time are just estimation.

message: I would like to change the source which is currently this http://www.ticketspecialists.com/concerts/mariah_carey_tickets.htm which claims its sales at 28 Million- to this source http://www.undercover.com.au/News-Story.aspx?id=4687 -which claims the total sales to be 32 Million...please express your opinion ...THANKS!!!--Petergriffin9901 (talk) 06:06, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Why are you writting this like you didn't see what is written above? You have your anwser there. The source won't be changed for fake and inflated figure from Undercover. We can eventually reduce the number that is in the article now - 28 million - to a smaller one per sources posted above.Max24 (talk) 08:42, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Change Source for Sales 

message: Maybe it is just because this album released in 1993? but I am used to seeing the "Sales and certifications" in a subheading usually in separate chart from the peak positions and located on the article page to the right of the peak positions. By the way, WP:CHARTS examples does not show "Sales and certifications" columns within the peak positions table.
Also notice some missing peak positions, as I would expect that it charted in the Belgian Albums Chart (for example) if it has a 2x Platinum cert for the country. But yes, I do realize that it may be that a reliable archive for this chart (and the others) may be difficult to locate. Again just some things that I noticed.—Iknow23 (talk) 03:27, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hi, just wondering... 

message: The source that places this album at No. 32 all-time on the Austrian Albums Chart appears to be a decades chart not an "all-time" chart.  Could someone confirm that? --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 17:36, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Music Box (Mariah Carey album)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

message: Please refer to this RfC (originally found at Talk:Mariah Carey albums discography), which has determined by consensus the worldwide sales of Music Box to be 28 million. While consensus may change later as this number increases over time, please do not arbitrarily change the sales figures without discussion and solid, reliable sources to back the change.

thread_title:  Regarding changes to the worldwide sales figures of the album 

message: I don't know if the good article status here should be questioned, but there has been repeated disruptive editing with unsourced changes to sales figures in this article for many months now, which I and other editors have reverted. Does that affect the GA status? MPFitz1968 (talk) 15:53, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Good article status ... and persistent change of album's sales figures, mainly by IPs 

message: ​​Mariah's recent MB30 anniversary mini documentary stated sales of over 32 million for Music Box.
We have to take those as confirmation of all its unknown sales!
.
Sony Legacy reports:
With more than 30 million copies sold worldwide since its release, Music Box is Mariah Carey’s top-selling album and one of the best-selling albums of all time.

Sony Japan reports (translated):
It is a monster album that topped the album charts in more than 15 countries around the world, including the United States and the United Kingdom, and sold over 30 million copies worldwide, and over 2.6 million copies in Japan alone.
