Title should have a space[edit]
I think there should be a space before "Do" in the title, based on the iTunes page. "Memories... Do Not Open" seems right.

- Most others, including the US iTunes, do not contain a space before it. Search Google for "iTunes The Chainsmokers Memories Do Not Open"; most countries' iTunes do not contain them. It doesn't bother me that much either way, but it just seems more common the way it is now. Ss112 07:37, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
- True, but it doesn't seem grammatically correct though. - TheMagnificentist 07:58, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
- I'm not sure that would be something Wikipedia needs to "correct". Generally Wikipedia doesn't accept the all-caps stylisations artists insist their titles must be typed as and such, but I'm not so sure a space after an ellipsis constitutes something that needs to be corrected, if it is even broadly considered incorrect. I mean, I could be wrong... Ss112 08:02, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
- The lack of space is grammatically incorrect, but I would argue that it is factually correct in the sense that it "matches" the way the title is written out more often than not. The spacing varies across regional iTunes pages, but most other sources I could find do not have the space (see Amazon, Fanfire Pre-Order). Billboard makes the issues even murkier since they refer to the title as Memories: Do Not Open (spaced, but with a colon instead of the an ellipsis). I think the biggest issue is that the cover itself contains no punctuation or grammatical clues; the "Memories" and "Do Not Open" phrases are just dumped on top of one another. So... keep leaving out the space until/unless proven otherwise from a reliable, definitive source ? Songsteel (talk) 22:29, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
- Right, but similarly, User:Ss112 used to argue that "t" from the word "the" should never be capitalized regardless of whatever the sources said (implying that grammar is more important). So how is it different from this? - TheMagnificentist 07:54, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
- The t in "the", and other types of words, like prepositions, should not be capitalised per MOS:CT (unless they are the first or last word in a title). That doesn't apply here, but unless you can find a policy that says we should correct all titles with an ellipsis to have a space after the dots then I don't think it's a problem.

Track Predictions[edit]
The recorded section says 2015-17, I'm guessing that Roses, Don't Let Me Down, and Closer will be part of the album, mainly because their really popular and Roses was recorded in 2015 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike weber13 (talk • contribs) 06:01, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- Mike, that was added by another editor. It may not be accurate. Also, The Chainsmokers said the album will consist of "new music minus Paris." - TheMagnificentist 11:53, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
