sources claiming different album sales. One says she's sold 25 million, another says 37, another says 42. One says her debut sold 10 million, another says 12 million, another says 16. Another says Back to Basics did 3.7 million, with others saying 4.5 million. It's a mess, period. I don't think anybody will ever TRULY know how many albums she's sold because so many sources say so many different things. So I'm pretty much done trying to keep up with her articles on here because it really is a losing battle. You, and Teneris, and Max Liron, and everybody else who's guarding her articles with their lives, will not be seeing me anymore, lol. Although I will occasionally check on her articles just to see if they're up to par, album sales wise, and I'll be checking sources from time to time to see if they're reliable. But I have more important issues on here to take care of anyway. ;-)
413:, and therefore cannot be used as a source for any type of sales figures from any artist listed on Knowledge (XXG). When it comes to replacing sources, the replacement should not be "dumbed down", so to speak, and one must take into account the fact that the source being replaced must be done so by a source that is not only up-to-date, but moreso, exceeds the reliability and verifiability of the previous. Replacing the foxnews.com source with a source from popdirt.com, in this case, isn't acceptable, and therefore has been reverted. 176: 725: 385:), and therefore one can assume that their mentioning of BOMT selling 26 million is a biased claim. Furthermore, the source is not an official article on Britney's album sales statistics, but rather, the article speaks of Britney's album sales vs. Christina Aguilera's album sales, and generally doesn't read as a professional article or review. 23: 72: 674:
you've done this, either. That's why I gave you the warning. Now I see the numbers have changed back to 4.5 million, with sources (no matter how "less reliable than others" they may be), but honestly I don't care anymore. Xtina is the only artist I know of on here who has numerous amounts of reliable

Now regarding your edit to Britney's discography, I think as an experienced user you already know that if you're going to provide information to an article that requires a source, it's the burden of the editor to provide the source his/herself. Other editors shouldn't have to go searching for it, it

back to 25 million in the first place. Popdirt.com is not a reputable source when it comes to album sales figures, as it's more of a blog than an actual sales figures chart website. Anybody can log onto the site, make an account and add their own original research when it comes to their favorite

Hi, I'm the one you wrote to about the Outrageous article. Just to let you know, nobody's perfect! On the article for the Christina Aguilera song Fighter, it says it's Rock 'n' Roll, when really it's the subgenre electric rock! See, everybody makes mistakes! So leave me alone, seriously!
