You Can Dance as a compilation album.

edit
Latest comment: 7 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Why You Can Dance album is listed as an compilation album besides a remix album?? All seven songs were remixed exclusively to the album, and are all new. The YCD article says that it's a remixed album too. Also Remixed & Revisited is a remix album and it's included in the right category...--88marcus (talk) 06:24, 16 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

It actually is not about a "remix album" or a "compilation album", but about a "major release" and a "limited release". You Can Dance was a major release, that's why it's listed on the same table as The Immaculate Collection and Something to Remember. By the way, I have removed the specific types (EP/boxsets/remix) of those minor releases to avoid confusion. Bluesatellite (talk) 12:53, 30 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Dance Mix EP

A 1985 "Argentinian" EP apparently called Dance Mix has received a worldwide re-release this year for Record Store Day - is this the same as Madonna Mix, the Venezuelan EP listed in this article? Is this re-release worth mentioning? Source anemoneprojectors 10:52, 22 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Yep its the same one actually, thanks for notifying AnemoneProjectors :) —IB [ Poke ] 11:40, 22 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Canada:

Some sales report around the world:

"Madonna Tres de sus grabaciones — “ Madonna ” , “ Como una virgen ” y “ Verdad azul ” — han ganado disco de platino | Colombian magazine Cromos (not an explicit ref but a remote possibility those certs came from Colombia; I've asked them but they don't have accessibility to their print sources due quarantine)
Pag 61 - Billboard probably Ciao Italia: Live from Italy sold between 150,000 to 200,000 copies in US as of 1989.

World Sales Numbers

edit
Latest comment: 4 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

It’s interesting how you look at other artists on Wikipedia pages and they have greatly inflated numbers whereas Madonna’s keeps changing because people keep lowering the numbers incorrectly and Wikipedia allows that. She has sold over 400 million albums and singles. I would truly appreciate it if Wikipedia updates this and showcases her large numbers of record breaking sales. 24.228.89.34 (talk) 17:36, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

You are absolutely right! Her sales numbers are way more than this wikipedia page has reported. I know True Blue sold over 20 million copies in the U.S. alone. They are all incorrect! I wish someone would fix this. Take care ✌️ 24.14.68.76 (talk) 07:48, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
