Why is the charts section being removed?

@Rhain: Can you please stop removing the charts table? Do you have an opposition to tabular data? Firstly, in April, you manually removed the table I added [1]. Then yesterday you reverted the edit of @DanTheMusicMan2: here, claiming it was the wrong album when it genuinely isn't. Even if it's counting Santaolalla's score for the original game(s), it's clearly been combined with the original entry by the OCC and gone to number 1 on the UK Soundtrack chart based on the sales for the physical edition of season 1 of the TV series—there would be no other reason that would be happening. Regardless: the soundtrack has now charted in four countries, the chart table should be included. Ss112 18:45, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

I think it's clear that I'm only opposed to a table when the information is better represented in prose (i.e., when there's only one country). The OCC has not combined the game and TV soundtracks—even if they had, that's not something we can assume in the article unless otherwise referenced. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 00:04, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

@Rhain: I don't know how you thought that would be clear at all. If you hadn't removed the table in the first place, there would have already been multiple countries in it before yesterday. The OCC, like many other chart compilers, is notoriously inconsistent with how things are credited—I think I'm more familiar with the inconsistency of chart data than you. If you want to remove it as OR and find the last time they specifically credited the Season 1 OST, go ahead—you clearly wanted to take issue with anything I added anyway, but I can't see any reason why the game soundtrack would be re-entering at number 1 in the same week the CD of the soundtrack for season 1 of the TV series was released.

@Ss112: Sorry I wasn't clearer; to clarify, I removed the table in April because the information was better presented in prose, and I removed it yesterday because it was about the wrong album. I'm not sure I agree that my removal prevented others from entering chart data—it didn't stop DanTheMusicMan2 yesterday, for example—but I apologise if you feel that's the case. I don't doubt your familiarity with the OCC's inconsistencies, but, for transparency, I already removed and replaced the OR. This week's UK chart-topper was the 2013 game soundtrack (which received a vinyl release last week), not the 2023 TV soundtrack (which was released on CD about a year ago). I certainly don't take issue with all of your edits, and I appreciate your recent additions of the European charts. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 08:17, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
