Live!! Plus One

Is this an album or an EP? It's listed under both IainP (talk) 13:35, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

It could be considered as both. The Japanese version was a 4-track EP; the Greek version was a 9-track album. However, most Iron Maiden fans regard it as an EP i.e. it's rarely listed along with their other full-length albums. More information here. Paul Armstrong 06:25, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

where can one get details about Iron maiden album certifications in Japan, Brazil, France and Sweden? Will231982 07:44, 30 July 2006 (UTC)will231982

Have updated info on album certifications, with data from Sweden, Australia, Norway, Holland and Poland added to the existing ones. Will231982 14:33, 10 September 2006 (UTC)will231982

Country codes

There's some confusion about the use of country codes. I propose that we follow the three-letter country code ISO standard. It's widely accepted and people can easely refer to it if they're not sure about one code (link: ISO 3166-1 alpha-3)

I've changed the CHI into CHE, since I first used the CH which is the two-letter code for Switzerland.

I'm also the one who added the Soundscan data. As soon as I get current data, I will update the entries.

Live After Death DVD

I added the chart position for Australia (I wasnt logged in at the time). I dont know the sales or chart positions in any other country, though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Magicana (talk • contribs) 11:05, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I dont think it's neccesarily appropriate to only include the album sales for the U.S. A worldwide sales figure would be more to the point as Maiden are a band with international popularity and the U.S have never embraced the band to the extent other countries have —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.212.233 (talk) 01:30, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Sales numbers too high

Some of the (US) album sales numbers on here are too high. I'll list what I found:

1. Number of the Beast:
RIAA: Platinum
Wiki: Over 2 million

2. Powerslave:
RIAA: Platinum
Wiki: Over 2 million

3. Somewhere in Time:
RIAA: Platinum
Wiki: Over 2 million

4. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son:
RIAA: Gold
Wiki: Over a million

5. Fear of the Dark:
RIAA: No certification
Wiki: Over 500,000

6. Live after Death:
RIAA: Platinum
Wiki: Over 2 million

Either Wiki is wrong or it's the RIAA. Somehow, I trust the RIAA more.

Dude... to tell you the truth these are only US sales.... and Iron Maiden has sold more in UK... they have sold only about 20 million in US whereas there total sales are 100 million.... you see?The very idea of the US sales column becomes irrelevent.59.182.145.228 (talk) 06:17, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

That doesn't mean Wiki should put up wrong sales numbers. And I wouldn't be too sure about total sales exceeding 100 million. It was 70 million for a long time and the given sources aren't always that reliable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.177.227.94 (talk) 11:19, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Album Sales in the U.S

I have discovered Somewhere back in time did sell over 2 million in the U.S sourced by the book 30 years of the beast and the bonus material on the reissued CD. Also the book 30 years of the beast states Seventh Son of a Seventh sold 1.2 million units in America. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.217.9 (talk) 13:14, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

New Live DVD

I recently discovered on the net that the band released a live DVD called "The Albatross Follows On". Any one got info on this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.93.221.193 (talk)

It is a bootleg, recorded in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Cannibaloki 16:08, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
