Rock Airplay chart
Hi, please be careful when adding the Rock Airplay chart to tables for songs that reached their peak position on the chart between 2009 and October 2012. The Rock Airplay chart wasn't introduced until October 20, 2012, which was when the Hot Rock Songs changed from becoming an airplay chart to a multi-metric chart using Hot 100 methodology. So Billboard's history of the Rock Airplay chart is identical to the current Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart June 20, 2009 through October 13, 2012 because they are the same during that time frame. Thanks. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 00:17, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up, I agree to take more caution when editing articles about songs in that era from the future, also, regarding that accidental chart deletion I made at Never Say Goodbye, I like to double-check with an artists' chart history on the Billboard website, I recently found out that not all artists' chart entries have been archived and some may have been left out by mistake. Please be assured that I from now on will also check sources properly before changing or removing them. I also noticed you went right ahead and changed those articles I mistakenly edited to their rightful revisions, so great job on that front. Apologies for the errors and apologies if it was a waste of your time rectifying them, and once again thank you for your guidance. 21stcenturyrockfan (talk) 01:12, 4 September, 2020 (UTC)
- Based on Billboard's site, you've done things correctly, but it's just that Billboard backdates history when they change chart methodology and names. Like when they added streaming data to the Billboard 200 and created the Top Album Sales chart for pure sales, the history is shown as the same for both charts on their site for dates prior to Top Album Sales existing. Regarding the Hot 100 Airplay, I don't believe Billboard considers earlier incarnations of the Hot 100 Airplay official before BDS technology. They use a chart that debuted in late 1990 called Top 40 Radio Monitor to represent the beginning of the Radio Songs history, which is why it doesn't go back to the '80s (and why you won't find "Never Say Goodbye"), even though they published Hot 100 sales and airplay component charts back then.

Question. I saw you keep changing my edits. I’m not upset. I’m just curious is all. You do realize that goo goo dolls is a post-grunge band and a lot of those songs and albums have the post-grunge inspiration? If you feel differently let me know and I would love to pick your brain on why you feel the post-grunge shouldn’t be associated? Chase1992 (talk) 00:14, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- Wikipedia has a policy on changing/adding genres, which can be viewed here, and although you may make them out to be a post-grunge band, others may challenge this point of view if it isn't backed with a reliable source, even if you think the genre is obvious. Please note that adding unreferenced genres may make others believe that it's okay to do the same on other articles, which may result in an edit dispute. If you have any further questions, I would recommend asking the Teahouse. Magatta (talk) 00:24, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
Ahh gotcha. Didn’t know that. Appreciate the info! Chase1992 (talk) 00:32, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Were you the one who edited Sad But True? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lonerphoenix93 (talk • contribs)
- It was me who undid your recent edit, as it appeard to have added incorrect information. May I ask why you changed it when it was already correct, along with removing content on other articles such as this or this without adequately explaining why? Magatta (talk) 20:20, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
Glass Animals
I made the change but the reference is the same that was already there before, so no need to have a new reference. If you look at the reference you'll see that it is consitent with my change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:12C0:A59:816:FE56:37EC:7B61 (talk • contribs) 23:48, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
- When I undid your edit, I was talking more about the fact that you altered the sales amount, contradicting the amount stated in the source. It states that "...Dreamland arrives at No. 7 with 60,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales total 43,000, while SEA units total 17,000..." which makes a total of 60,000 sales. Both physical sales and SEA (Streaming Equivalent Album) units were calculated in this case, as many album sales evaluations nowadays incorporate the two formats in the overall total, since it has now become common for people nowadays to stream music instead of buying it.

Hello,

Nothing but Thieves
Hey there Magatta, I'm writing in regards to your undo of my Nothing But Thieves article.
I've recently become a huge fan of the band so I thought I can contribute to Wiki with whatever I know about them. At the same time, I'm not a big Wiki author yet so I don't know all the rules.
I added a section about the Itch single sourcing NBT's interview which is present on Spotify. It's them speaking about their songs. How can I better source this? Psfinaki (talk) 23:35, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
