Commercial performance[edit]

I edited this section. Spacing makes it easier to read so I added spacing.

BS' stellar sales for "baby" and "oops" are noted, but her slower sales are not? To do that IMO is censoring. Articles need to be neutral not kiss *ss. Articles on King Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Elton John, Drake. Beyonce, Adele and Taylor swift go on and on about sales, but why not this one?

For some reason BS is always treated with kid gloves? Why? It is a fact her album sales have slowed. This doesnt mean she sucks. Her fans have grown older, and alot of people stream instead of buy a full album. Her vegas residencey has done quite well so her career is not over. 173.13.246.253 (talk) 19:32, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Track listing section[edit]

I don't know Wikipedia's policies on this, but do we really need to keep so many track listings when the only difference is where a single song (Do You Wanna Come Over) is placed? I think including three track lists could be confusing to some people and a note below the section would be easier for people to understand and know why there is a difference. --2601:446:400:2ADC:889D:53E2:D728:78EB (talk) 03:56, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2020 reissue singles[edit]

Mood Ring (By Demand) and Swimming in the Stars should be classified as singles for the 2020 reissue as they were specifically released to promote the 2020 reissue of the album, despite Mood Ring being previously included in the Japanese release. This is a similar situation to how Radar was released as a single to only promote Circus, despite being previously included in Blackout. The k nine 2 (talk) 14:17, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mood Ring, Swimming in the Stars, and Matches keep getting removed and users are citing “Template:Infobox_album#singles says “Do not include singles that were added as bonus tracks on a re-release of an album” as the reason. The way I interpret that is if a non-album single (Like Pretty Girls) is later included on a reissue/deluxe edition of the album it should not be included. But these songs are new to the album and should be included in the infobox. They’re mentioned in the header and in the body of the article. Why wouldn’t they be in the infobox? Benjichilders (talk) 17:28, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. The 2020 reissue singles should be listed in the infobox, in its own section as singles for the 2020 reissue, instead of excluding them from the infobox entirely.08:49, 3 February 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by The k nine 2 (talk • contribs)

If you want the reissued singles in the Infobox, I suggest you make another Infobox. Simple as that. Per Template:Infobox album#Template:Singles, it blatantly says Do not include singles that were added as bonus tracks on a re-release of an album. If we asses the situation here, adding the singles in the Infobox is exactly what not to do. If you look at Glory (Britney Spears album)#Track listing, you can see that both "singles" were bonus tracks (so not on the standard edition) of a re-release (not the original) of the album. Therefore, the singles should not be added in the Infobox. Creating another Infobox would be better, as we could also move the re-issue album cover out of the main Infobox.

Reissue cover[edit]

I think the reissue cover should be displayed first because RCA removed the original cover from every streaming platform. KARANSUTTA (talk) 22:07, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2020 reissue[edit]

Wouldn't it be easier to just make a new page for the 2020 reissue of the album? I don't know how it's handled for other albums, but it's clear it's causing a lot of controversy. I understand the template has some guidelines, but then I think the current format is not enough to properly cover this situation. I find at least the following points that make them different:

  • Release date: not only there's a 4-year gap between the releases, which may be irrelevant, but the 2020 reissue has its own story of how it came about, after becoming #1 on the iTunes Pop chart, the international release of Mood Ring, the vinyl release, the unreleased tracks, the new cover, etc.
  • The tracklists: The original album already has a lot of variations of its own. The physical and digital tracklists place Do You Wanna Come Over? at different numbers, that without counting the bonus tracks from international versions, then the replacement of the original Slumber Party with the Tinashe version on digital platforms. Then we got the 2-disc edition from the 2017 Asian Tour. The first reissue in 2020 incorporated yet another tracklist removing all the standard bonus tracks, and placing Mood Ring right away at track 13, then the new one we got at the end of the year brought another extended tracklist with the new songs and remixes. All these differences are currently not covered the way the page is done, and if it was done properly, it would result in a very messy section, more than it already looks like.
  • The covers: the 2016 album had already received a new cover in 2017 for the 2-disc edition. This cover is now missing from the page. The 2020 reissues also got two different covers, the first one when Mood Ring was released, which was only digital, and the latest one we got with the vinyl, that also replaced the digital versions, which has a different sky. One of these covers is missing from the page too.
  • Finally, the singles: I know Mood Ring and Swimming in the Stars don't fit the classical definition of single according to the template, and it's not appropriate to list them as singles of the 2016 album, however I also find it wrong that there's no mention of them in the summary, when they did receive a more proper release to promote their corresponding reissues, with their own covers and everything, unlike for example, the 2016 promo singles that were Private Show, Clumsy and Do You Wanna Come Over?. It's not ok to put them at the same level in my opinion.
