Music Videos section

The article currently lists "Kids With Guns", the storyboards for "Rhinestone Eyes" and various others as "music videos." These are sequences generally made to accompany live performances, but should not be included. I strongly believe that only official Gorillaz videos with Jamie Hewlett's animation that feature the band should be included. Why are we including storyboards? A storyboard is not an official film. It is a storyboard. The Kids With Guns "video" is just a series of rotating colors and silhouettes. It was made to be an on-screen projection during shows, not to showcase the band or the song in any way. I've seen almost all of the others on television at one time or another, but never the for "Rhinestone Eyes" or the animatics for "Kids With Guns" or "5/4," even during specials which specifically featured Gorillaz videos. That's just one (anecdotal) example. And are there any reliable sources to back any of these up? Or even for their inclusion? Per WP:SOFIXIT, I'm going to remove these again. If anyone has ideas on the subject, please bring it up here. Friginator (talk) 16:01, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Belgium Charts

To anyone who considers to add to the charts, Belgium TIP chart is not an official entry, check on their site, it is a different chart, not a sales based chart like the official one! When you search on the Belgium chart check if it's TIP or not! They have a list with all the official entries, use that please. Thank you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Comablack182 (talkcontribs) 11:24, 29 December 2010 (UTC) 

Gorillaz ‘The Fall’ is an album, not a compilation.

I would consider the 2010 Gorillaz album ‘The Fall’ to be an album, being all new material and not a compilation of previously released material. Although Damon Albarn wrote and recorded the album largely on his iPad while on the road, it should still be listed in the Studio Album section as the closest category. Elsewhere it is discussed a CD version will be released in 2011, further reinforcing the claim for album status over compilation. Please note my earlier edit changing the release to the Album section was undone. Rochfordboy (talk) 07:17, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

I completely agree that it's not a compilation album, and I've just fixed that. But a studio album is arguable. Wikipedia does not take into account future releases, so the 2011 physical release is irrelevant. I've modified the discography so that it's not listed as a compilation anymore. It's still in the "Albums" section, remember, so I don't see what else needs to be changed (other than the layout of the infobox, which is a separate problem).
