Song's length

A user, Zvig47, states that "Put On a Smile" and "Blast Off" have different lengths. The former is "4:15", however, the user says it is "4:16", the latter it is "4:44", the user states is "4:45". Nevertheless, we are using the same source? Evening with Silk Sonic but I guess we see differences in the length?

There really was no need to start a new section in the talk page for this. If there was a way I could screenshot it and show you I would. The link you provided said it was not available in the United States. If you are not in the United States perhaps your source differs from mine. Nevertheless, it should abide by the United States source. Zvig47 (talk) 22:16, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's better to open the section rater than revert and revert. The source is in the US. Not another one in Europe or something else. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 22:49, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well for some reason it said it was a foreign source. For now keep the page the way it is, the source you provided shows exactly what the page reflects. Like I said, even if you put your times for the songs down, it doesn’t add up to 31:20. It would add up to 31:17. I took time to add them all together and the true time is 31:19 without Love’s Train. I am in no way insulting you or what you have done, I’m just simply saying the source that is there and even the source you provided is shown on the page. If you have to check again, because each time the page is changed I check the source again just to make sure, and it always is the times what I have put.

Even if it is a foreign source the time is the same. No, let's keep the way it was. [1], this one shows the excat time I said. Also Spotify adds the time up to 31:19, sodespite having the time of the songs right the total lenght is wrong on Spotify? Even on the other releases the time of each song is the same.

You have not provided a link that supports your edits and are not editing with the source provided in mind. Your edits are also contradicting themselves. You said in the same edit the length was 31:17 and 31:20. Proof read. Zvig47 (talk) 04:33, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are joking, right? Both links support the length of the songs. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 10:41, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Platinum certification

I have no interest in starting an edit war, but Bruno Mars Tweeted today that the album was certified Platinum. I wasn't able to find anything about it on the RIAA's site either, but maybe they've just been slow to update. Perhaps a tweet isn't an adequate enough source in this case, but it's still worth putting out there. ---The Pastrami-Eating Bulldog 02:20, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wait for the RIAA source to update. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 10:41, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
