List of songs recorded by Swedish musician Basshunter. The last song "Ingen kan slå (Boten Anna)" was released on 23 June 2023. He has recorded a lot of unreleased tracks like "Livets fard", "Horn of Orcs", "Ni är det bästa som finns" or "The Indian" but they never were mentioned in any publication so I had to omitted them. It previously passed GOCE and was peer-reviewed. Structure is after similar featured lists. Eurohunter (talk) 21:51, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from MyCatIsAChonk[edit]

Surprised to see no comments after three weeks on the market- happy to review. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 15:22, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • He published his music mainly through the internet. - rather vague, to what sites? BandCamp? YouTube?
    •  Comment: Unfortunately there is no source mention certain websites but I added "for free download on platforms such as chat channels and gaming websites.". Eurohunter (talk) 14:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That's better. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 15:15, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Every time a year is used as a dependent clause (e.g. "In 2008...") it needs to be followed by a comma. Right now, only some instances have commas.
  • Same thing for "According to ____...", anytime a clause like that is stated it must be followed by a comma
    •  Done. I added commas but I'm not sure of first case - "According to Swedish magazine Filter, in 2004, Basshunter had already composed up to 300 songs." - not too many commas? Eurohunter (talk) 14:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That's just fine. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 15:16, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • His album, The Old Shit, and The Bassmachine were... - is that not two albums being listed? If not, clarify
    •  Comment: What do you mean by "being listed"? The Bassmachine is a studio album and The Old Shit is a compilation album. Both albums were released at the time in 2006 on Basshunter website. Eurohunter (talk) 14:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Now I understand, my confusion was between the difference of the two. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 15:16, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
     Done Eurohunter (talk) 16:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure if I'm misunderstanding, but the article for LOL says it was his second studio album, while this article says it was his first- same numbering issue with Now You're Gone
    •  Done. Yes. LOL is the second studio album and Now You're Gone – The Album is the third studio album. I don't know what happened, but I fixed it. Eurohunter (talk) 14:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The "Writer" cell for "Al final" needs a cross
  • Songs that start with "the" should be sorted by the word after it (e.g. "The Basshunter" should be sorted as "Basshunter, The")
  • Footnote "as" has a typo, should read, "Originally released as single, "Welcome to Rainbow" was released on later release of Now You're Gone – The Album.[9]"
    •  Comment: Do you mean just missing comma? I added it. Should I also add comma to note i and t? Eurohunter (talk) 14:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Ironically, I think I made a typo in my own comment. Disregard this comment. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 15:18, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • File:James Lord Pierpont.jpg - source link is dead and it needs an international PD tag
    @Eurohunter, firstly, yes, the archive url needs to be added to be description. Secondly, the tag under "Licensing" only covers its PD status internationally (I got it backwards in the comment, my apologies). It need another tag to cover its status in the US. PD-old-expired should be right. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 15:23, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment: @MyCatIsAChonk: I added link to archived version. Why it need another tag to cover its status in the United Status? What about Mexico and the other countries? Template PD-old-expired for the United States mention United States Copyright Office, but I don't know if it's registered there. Eurohunter (talk) 16:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Eurohunter, Wikimedia servers are in the US, so they must comply with US copyright law. But, because media on Commons are used across all Wikipedias, media must also be available internationally. Now, I realized an error on my part- how can it be PD in countries with a 70+ author death copyright term if the author is unknown? My bad- PD-anon-expired should be right because it states that it was published before 1928 (making it public domain in the US) and that it was published over 95 years ago (making it public domain in most countries). MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 17:07, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
     Done @MyCatIsAChonk: I changed template PD-old to PD-anon-expired. Eurohunter (talk) 17:14, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from ULPS[edit]

Not too many, (MyCatIsAChonk commented on most of my concerns) but I'll add to them if I see anything else. ULPS (talk • contribs) 23:29, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • His album, The Old Shit, and The Bassmachine were released on his website in 2006.. You already mentioned The Bassmachine being released in 2004, as well as his music being released through the internet, what is special about this release that you stated it again? Did it come out for free? Probably clarify.
    •  Comment: Yes, I added it because actually both albums were released on the same time on Basshunter website, so I think just to mention The Old Shit would be not enough or out of context. Eurohunter (talk) 14:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      I still think it's a bit weird to mention again, perhaps say The Old Shit and The Bassmachine were made available to purchase through his website in 2006? ULPS (talk • contribs) 15:13, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
       Comment: Yes, they both were released in 2006 on Basshunter website, but only The Old Shit was actually premiered and The Bassmachine was released already earlier in 2004. Eurohunter (talk) 17:03, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      Then that is fine I guess, no way to really write that without being too clunky. ULPS (talk • contribs) 18:29, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
       Done Eurohunter (talk) 20:37, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The album consisted of seven songs from two previous Basshunter albums, The Old Shit, and all 10 songs from The Bassmachine. I am not quite sure what this is saying, is it 7 songs total from two previous albums, something from The Old Shit and all of The Bassmachine? Why is the number of tracks from The Old Shit not mentioned? The sentence should be reworded for clarity.
    •  Done. I don't know why, but it was kinda unclear. I changed it to "The album mostly consisted of songs from two previous Basshunter albums, 7 songs from The Old Shit, and all 10 songs from The Bassmachine." Eurohunter (talk) 14:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The grammar in footnote "b" is a bit off, I believe the meaning is something along the lines of "According to the ACE Repertory, the song "Utan stjärnorna" was co-written by Basshunter and Ali Payami. However, in the 2006 release of Basshunter's "LOL" album, the song, translated as "Without Stars," is credited solely to Basshunter as both the writer and producer.
    •  Comment: It's good idea, but I wanted to mention that LOL had different versions released in different time, and it was just one of the versions. So I would like to use your idea but there need to be mention that it is not the original/first/premier version of LOL - I don't know how to mention it. Eurohunter (talk) 14:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      I think the way I stated it works (2006 release implies there was another release IMO), but you could say "second release" (or whatever number release it was). You could also say the "2006 re-release" ULPS (talk • contribs) 15:10, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
       Comment: @ULPS: There is a lot of physical and digital versions - exact release dates are not known for some versions, so then it would be very hard to count if it's 6th or 7th version etc. Eurohunter (talk) 17:03, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      So why not say the 2006 re-release? ULPS (talk • contribs) 18:29, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
       Comment: @ULPS: Hard to say. For example, if someone released an album in the United Kingdom on CD then two weeks later the same or other version would be released in Sweden - would we call it a re-release? Eurohunter (talk) 11:35, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      @Eurohunter: Yeah I guess not. I think the grammar can still be cleaned up from Later 2006 release of LOL album at "Without Stars" it indicates that Basshunter solely written and produced song to On the later 2006 release of LOL at "Without Stars" it indicates that Basshunter solely wrote and produced the song. This doesn't change the meaning, just the grammar. I made this change myself, feel free to revert if you think of something better :) ULPS (talk • contribs) 15:14, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      @ULPS:  Comment: I think it's better and I will fix the other cases in the same way. Eurohunter (talk) 15:24, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 20:11, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good overall. These are my edits, please revert if you don't agree with them.
  • "A cover for "Angel in the Night"." Does "cover" here mean the single's cover art?
    •  Done. It was messed during copy edit. It was supposed to mean single, so I chanted it to "A single "Angel in the Night", and cover of "I Miss You" by Westlife were later released.". Eurohunter (talk) 11:50, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "7 songs" -> "seven songs", per MOS:SPELL09.
    •  Done. I usually prefer to use words instead of numbers. Eurohunter (talk) 11:50, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • All songs beginning with "The" (including "The Indian") needs to sort under their second word.
  • Per WP:GALLERY, image galleries like the one in this article generally shouldn't be added. If there's no space to add the images next to the table, as in similar lists, then I'd suggest just removing them altogether.
    •  Comment: Before images were on the right but someone moved them to gallery due to some problem on small screen or mobile version. I would add them on the right again or remove them. Do you have the other idea? Eurohunter (talk) 11:50, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Citation 31 is a dead link.

@A Thousand Doors: What do you think? Eurohunter (talk) 17:46, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for not responding to this sooner. I have made some further edits here. Please revert if you don't agree with them.

  • The article says that The Bassmachine was released in 2004, but then also says that it was released in 2006. I'm a bit confused by this – was it re-released in 2006, or did Basshunter make it available for free on his website, or something else?
    •  Comment: The Bassmachine was released in 2004 but in 2006 album was released on Basshunter website together with new compilation album The Old Shit. Eurohunter (talk) 11:50, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maybe you want to use a verb other than "released", then? How about "were made available to buy on his website", or something similar? A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 20:11, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Similarly, "Ingen kan slå (Boten Anna)" needs to be below "In Her Eyes" when the table loads.
    •  Done It's a good question. Should I ignore hyphens, apostrophes, periods, commas and also spaces? I did it right now. Eurohunter (talk) 11:50, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Don't ignore spaces, no. Ideally, when the table first loads, it should match how the table looks when you sort by title. At the moment, if you sort by title, "Bass Worker" jumps above "The Bassmachine", "Här kommer Lennart" jumps above "Hardstyle Drops", "Vi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA" jumps above "Vifta med händerna", and "Fest i hela huse" jumps above "Festfolk" [2006 Remix]. Speaking of which... A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 20:11, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment: So titles with spaces should be on top? Eurohunter (talk) 19:17, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The prose in the fourth paragraph could be improved. At the moment it's just a collection of sentences about the singles from Calling Time, and it just doesn't flow together very well. There's one sentence on "Saturday", then one sentence on "Fest i hela huset", then one sentence on "Northern Light", etc. I don't think you need to go into this granular detail by listing every single from the album. I'm happy to work with you on rewriting this, if you'd like. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 20:11, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment: If you have any better idea for it, let me know. Eurohunter (talk) 19:17, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • If LOL was his second studio album, then what was The Old Shit? Was that compilation album?
    •  Comment: Yes The Old Shit was a compilation album. Eurohunter (talk) 11:50, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • A compilation of what, exactly? Songs that weren't on The Bassmachine? B-sides? Remixes that he's done? Something else? The lead would benefit from explaining this. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 20:11, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment: Strictly it "consists of songs from two previous Basshunter albums, seven songs from The Old Shit, and all ten songs from The Bassmachine. "Go Down Now" from single "Angel in the Night" and a promotional single "Wacco Will Kick Your Ass" and four unreleased songs.". I think the second sentence not fit well but I don't have idea how to connect it in better way with the first sentence. Eurohunter (talk) 19:17, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • It sounds like you're describing The Early Bedroom Sessions there, but I asked about The Old Shit. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 10:40, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment: Oh you mean what is on compilation album The Old Shit. It consists of unreleased tracks. Eurohunter (talk) 17:31, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • What about table sorting? Titles with spaces should be above these which has no spaces? Eurohunter (talk) 16:15, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Was "Festfolk" [2006 Remix] a new recording, or just a remix of the original "Festfolk"? If it was just a remix, should it be included in this list, since it isn't technically a song recorded by Basshunter? A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 20:11, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment: Hard to say. It's described just as "[2006 Remix]". If you look at 2006 "Vi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA" and 2007 "DotA" - they could describe it also as "Vi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA [2007 Remix]". Instead of it they relead new version as "DotA" in 2007. In the same way there are 2008 "I Can Walk on Water" and 2009 "Walk on Water" instead of "I Can Walk on Water [2009 Remix]". Eurohunter (talk) 19:17, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've just listened to both tracks, and they sound pretty much the same. It doesn't sound like Basshunter has recorded anything new for the 2006 remix, so personally I think it can be removed, since you don't list any other remixes, but I'll leave that with you to decide. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 10:40, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The final sentence in the thrid paragraph is a sentence fragment. What are you trying to say there? A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 20:11, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment: As above. It is related to compilation album The Early Bedroom Sessions. Eurohunter (talk) 19:17, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's still an incomplete sentence though, which needs to be addressed. It might be best just to remove it entirely. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 10:40, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment: Let's talk about this issue above. Eurohunter (talk) 17:31, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The final sentence of the third paragraph is "Go Down Now" from single "Angel in the Night" and a promotional single "Wacco Will Kick Your Ass" and four unreleased songs. This is an incomplete sentence and doesn't really make any sense, so I've removed it for now. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 16:02, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment: The Early Bedroom Sessions actually "consists of songs from two previous Basshunter albums, seven songs from The Old Shit, and all ten songs from The Bassmachine" and include ""Go Down Now" from single "Angel in the Night" and a promotional single "Wacco Will Kick Your Ass" and four unreleased songs.". Should I add "and include" - connect two sensence or is it possible to write it in other way? Eurohunter (talk) 16:15, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I just don't think it's necessary to go into that granular level of detail. Here's what I've come up with instead. Let me know what you think. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 14:28, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment: @A Thousand Doors: Okey but there were also four unreleased songs so "The 23-track album consists of songs from The Old Shit and The Bassmachine, plus three songs from Basshunter's early single releases" would mean that all 23 tracks are just from The Old Shit, The Bassmachine and from early single releases while actually 4 tracks from 23 were never released. Eurohunter (talk) 16:56, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Drive-by comment[edit]

  • If you sort the table by a column such as year, and then re-sort the "title" column, all the songs starting with "The" now appear under T.
