Happy To Meet, Sorry To Part

"... was the best-selling album of all time in Ireland."

Are we sure? Can we verify this ?Frelke 20:47, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected. Abba's Super Trouper suceeded it in 1980.

I did some minor editing of the bad grammar at the start.--Hibernian 12:46, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chart info

Your article says that Horslips had a no. 1 hit in Germany 1973. Well, this seems not to be the case. In my German Chart Singles 1956-1980 book there are in fact no entries at all by Horselips. (And I strongly believe that this is the only chart book covering Germany in this period). As I got a whole bunch of chart books at home I looked up Horslips in all of them, and found out the following:

Horslips had NO ENTRIES in the following countries/periods:

Germany-Singles 1956-2000 Germany-Albums 1962-1986 Holland-Singles 1965-1997 Holland-Albums 1969-1997 Switzerland-Singles 1968-2000 Norway-Singles 1958-1993 Norway-Albums 1963-1993

Canada-Singles 1975-1999 Canada-Albums 1977-2002 USA- Billboard -no entries on the Top 100 Singles chart, Bubbling Under Singles chart, Bubbling Under Albums charts, the two Rock Tracks charts 81-95 UK- NME - Albums 1962-1986 UK- NME - Singles 1966-1990 UK- 35 Years Of Hit EPs

Horselips had entries in these album books:

UK- Guinness Hit Albums book (which used Music Week charts): 1 entry in 1977 USA- Billboard: 2 entries 78-79 USA- Cash Box: 4 entries 77-79 USA- Record World: 1 entry 79

This article reads a bit like PR.

I'm sure that most of the editors working on this article are fans of the band (I'm not too familiar with them myself, but I like what I've heard). As a result, unfortunately, the style of the article sounds a bit too much like a fansite. The writing is a bit informal and fawning, set lists of recent shows are included, etc. Perhaps we could rewrite this in a somewhat more distant, neutral tone?

Potential Improvements

Hello to you all. I hope to make some improvements to this article over the next while. Currently the article has quite a bit of unsourced material which could do with being looked at. To get a well sourced article, quite a bit will likely need to be reworked, sources utilized and material that can not be verified should be removed. Horslips.ie is used significantly; third party sources would help improve the article and I know from initial research that many exist. The overall structure and headings could also be looked at to improve readability and clarity throughout, and perhaps taking inspiration from other high quality articles here on Wikipedia like the U2 and the Beatles articles for example. Now that Horslips have officially taken to the stage for the last time, it seems a good time to do this article justice and in a neutral tone. Feel free to get in touch with me here about anything you wish to discuss. SDominicH (talk) 05:43, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
