Improve/Update Sales Information for Kamikaze

Please improve Eminem's sales information for the album, "Kamikaze," as it has been listed as "US: 252,000" without an update for almost as long as it has been out. The update should include an increase in the sales in the U.S. and provide sales for Worldwide, and other countries with substantial sales. Also, if needed the awards should be updated. If someone is experienced in this or has knowledge of such information, please help!

Kamikaze has reached Platinum, exceeding sales of 1 million equivalent units

As Forbes reported, Kamikaze has sold more than 1 million equivalent units in the US. The wiki page mentions only pure sales of the first week which is nearly 2 months ago.^[1]

Marshal Mather LP 2 has sold over 4 million units in the US

RIAA.com reports that Marshal Mather LP 2 has received 4x Platinum which is given for at least 4 million certified units. The page also mentions that at least 4 million certified units were sold. The wiki page is contradictory. On one had it acknowledges 4x Platinum (which equals 4 million units) but then it states that only around 2 million units were sold. ^[1]

This is because the sales column represents pure sales only, whereas the 4x Platinum certification is for 4 million album equivalent units. Joeee777 (talk) 18:35, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Revival has sold over a half million certified units

Riaa.com reports that Revival has received Gold by selling over a half million units. The wiki page is contradictory. It acknowledges the gold award but not the half million sold units required for the gold award. ^[1]

On the contrary, units aren't the same thing as actual sales when they include streams. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:58, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The album does have more album sales than claimed by the article however. From the Revival wikipedia article ^[2] Vaxine21 (talk) 19:36, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Chartdata is a questionable source at best with no none credentials and shouldn't be used for claims. Snuggums (talk / edits) 20:11, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Should it be removed from the other article? Vaxine19 (talk) 16:15, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, remove any use of Chartdata. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 16:44, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bad Meets Evil EP

Many other discographies for artists include their work as a group.

Under EPs, it should have Hell: The Sequel (As Bad Meets Evil with Royce da 5’9”).

Might also want to include his work with Soul Intent and the other group. He brought out about 3 other EPs (as M&M).

WikiSnickers (talk) 13:48, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also think the albums with D12 should be included.

Ceeesa (talk) 17:40, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes and the D12 albums should be under the section Collaborative Albums. Joeee777 (talk) 16:22, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 23 December 2019

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved to the proposed title at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 05:06, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Eminem albums discography → Eminem discography – For consistency: I've found that a majority of discography pages are simply titled by artist with the word "discorgaphy" at the end. The word "albums" in the title is a bit redundant, In my (extremely) humble opinion. Dictator Black (talk) 00:07, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:52, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dictator Black and Alex 21: queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:54, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Dictator Black: This is likely because the article was split in May 2018 to Eminem albums discography, Eminem singles discography and Eminem videography, as well as Eminem production discography, making Eminem discography an ambiguous title. -- /Alex/₂₁ 00:16, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose this and Eminem singles discography were split off into their own pages when the main "Eminem discography" article got ridiculously huge and rather hard to maintain. There oftentimes is indeed a page just turned "discography" when separated from artist/band pages, but when their catalog of albums and singles gets really extensive like it has for Em here, that simply isn't feasible. This current title is also used to distinguish it from his singles discography article. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 12:46, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per /Alex/₂₁ and SNUGGUMS . --Less Unless (talk) 23:37, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Majavah ^(t/c) 13:09, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

add bad meets evil and his mixtapes

soul intent (1995) all eyes on me (2009) the freestyle manual (idk) the freestyle show (apparently a bootleg) (2002)

Shouldn't the albums sales be total units not just physical copies?

This article says his latest album has sold 259,000 copies (according to hitsdailydouble), but thats actually just the pure sales and not the overall units which is 938,000 this year. Wouldn't it more accurate to show total units? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:7CA2:9F00:5492:6F90:19A0:6CCE (talk) 21:53, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sales without equivalent units

@SNUGGUMS: thank you for explaining the sales. I will clearify the sales as sales without equivalent units. -- BrandNew Jim Zhang (talk) 12:55, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And I consider that sales amount should be noted like "sales as of February 2021". -- BrandNew Jim Zhang (talk) 13:06, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
