b/w ?

"My Flash on You" b/w "Fortune Teller" — what does b/w mean? – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 23:36, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

b/w = backed with. It's standard recording industry speak when listing a single's A-side and B-side. Maybe it should be changed though, to make it more obvious for those who have perhaps not heard the term before. You must've realised that it was referring to the A-side and B-side of each single though, no? --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 10:10, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for the fast reply! No, call me stupid, but I thought it was some term meaning "working title" or something. Industry lingo definitely can hamper an article's accessibility. I think "backed with" can be used, as long as it's clarified as to what it means (within the article). – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 10:24, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually using the words "backed with" might be a bit clunky, I think. As far as I can see, either we just seperate the different sides with a slash symbol ("My Flash on You"/"Fortune Teller") or we just list the A-sides of each release to avoid the confusion entirely. --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 09:29, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

British Charts

The single did get into the charts no matter what it states here. I know that because I bought the single as a result of looking over the charts in a record shop. I think it peaked at around 40 - 50; or perhaps a little lower, but certainly in the top 100. I think the British charts referred to in the article just cover either the top 20 or the top 30. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.2.57.146 (talk) 13:26, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's not listed in the Guiness Book Of British Hit Singles, which covers the Top 50 UK charts for the '60s, using the Record Retailer chart as its source. There wasn't actually an official UK chart until 1969, but the Record Retailer chart is most often cited for "official" chart position during the 1960s and as such, is today used by the The Official Charts Company and the afforementioned Guiness book. It's possible that "Incense & Peppermints" may've charted in the NME, Melody Maker or Disc chart, but these are not widely recognised as being "official". Alternatively, perhaps your memory is faulty. --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 11:21, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

– Pageview stats prove that the song is more popular than the album. Furthermore, the album is either no more significant than or not as significant as the song itself. Either the song is the primary topic by default (if no one opposes), or there should be a disambiguation page. George Ho (talk) 19:24, 27 May 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.
