Two glaring mistakes[edit]

OK, two glaring mistakes in this article:

1. "Call Me" was not on "Autoamerican", but on their "Greatest Hits" compilation. 2. "Call Me" was not the best-selling single of the 1980, in terms of US sales, as it was only certified gold, which at that time indicated sales of 1,000,000 copies, one of over 30 singles to do so. To have been the best-selling single, it would have had to hav been certified platinum, for sales of 2,000,000 copies. The only US singles to reach that mark in 1980 were "Funkytown" by Lipps, Inc., and "Take Your Time"(Do It Right) by The S.O.S. Band. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brucevbracken (talk • contribs) 18:01, 16 June 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:BlondieCallMe.ogg[edit]

The image Image:BlondieCallMe.ogg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The Chipmunks[edit]

Does this article need all the info about The Chipmunks?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.64.112.21 (talk) 13:35, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It really doesn't. 74.242.253.152 (talk) 03:28, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Single sequencing[edit]

On the one hand, "Atomic" has the number CHS 2410, while "Call Me" has the number CHS 2414. The track listing for The Platinum Collection has "Atomic" listed before "Call Me".

On the other, the infobox has "Call Me" lead to "Atomic" rather than vice versa and The Blondie discography lists "Call Me" before "Atomic".

In the middle, the release date on "Atomic" is no more specific than "1980". The release date of "Call Me" is "February 1980 (US)/April 1980 (UK)".

I would suggest that the infobox needs to be resequenced and the discography should be changed, though it's possible the numbers don't mean anything just this once and that the otherwise chronological Platinum Collection is also out of order in this case.

The singles chronology and discography correctly show the US release order. No need to change anything. Piriczki (talk) 15:20, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
