Album and book

Unless the book is notable on its own, the album and book should have a single article, probably with the book as the main topic and the album as a section. Thoughts? Qzekrom 💬 ^they_them 00:50, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fifth or sixth album?

Even though Supermarket is Logic's first soundtrack album, it also serves as his fifth studio album. As his label tweeted out on release (emphasis added):

Surprise! Number five! Logic‘s ‘Supermarket’ soundtrack is now available on all streaming services!

His follow-up Confessions of a Dangerous Mind was also announced as his "6ixth studio album". The cover art also indicates that the album is his sixth, which would then indicate Supermarket is truly his fifth studio album. I'm voting in favor of fifth album as how we count Supermarket. I put both Studio album / soundtrack in the infobox to best reflect the status of the album. Nice4What (talk) 01:18, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are multiple third party reliable sources on the Confessions page that call it his fifth studio album. The link you provide to Logic's Twitter also does not call it his sixth album or anything. StaticVapor message me! 04:04, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@STATicVapor: The cover art, in the top left cover, marks Confessions as his sixth album. Genius also reports the album as his sixth. Nice4What (talk) 04:11, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I see where it has the 6 on the cover now. However on top of the two sources (Billboard and Rap-Up) in the Confessions article, we have Rolling Stone, Variety, Rap-Up again, Heavy., XXL, and Revolt. There is noticeably less that call it his "sixth studio album", the majority of them being from when the first single was released, while the majority of the links I gave are more recent.

Guess we'll have to wait until his label announces his upcoming seventh studio album before we all agree to fix this numbering. Nice4What (talk) 16:51, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I mean it may sound dumb, but we go by what the majority of reliable sources call it, not necessarily what the label promotes it as. StaticVapor message me! 23:35, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the album is being marketed as his 'sixth' or '6ixth', however, studio albums and soundtrack albums are typically separated on Wikipedia.

Also, both references, apart from VMG's tweet label the album as Logic's fifth.— Preceding unsigned comment added by IHaveNoFriendz (talk • contribs)

@IHaveNoFriendz: Supermarket can be both a studio album and a soundtrack album. They're not mutually exclusive. Look at Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster, listed as both a studio album reissue and an EP. Nice4What (talk) 04:11, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, look at Outkast's Idlewild, which is described on Wikipedia as both a soundtrack album and a studio release. The brave celery (talk) 19:23, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@IHaveNoFriendz: I suggest you see what The brave celery pointed out above. Nice4What (talk) 19:41, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Idlewild is widely considered their final album, not just some soundtrack album that did not really mean much. StaticVapor message me! 15:13, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@STATicVapor: Their argument was that soundtrack albums and studio albums are usually separated. Point is they don't always have to be, and that doesn't disqualify Supermarket from being considered a studio album. Nice4What (talk) 16:51, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@STATicVapor: I’ve noticed that Bobby (Logic) himself never once called Supermarket his 5th studio album. He only ever called it a soundtrack, leading me to assume that Confessions of a Dangerous Mind has to be his 5th album. ZtheB (talk) 09:21, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, and Drake called More Life a "playlist", but it's clearly not that; I'd even hesitate to call it a mixtape, as it is described on Wikipedia, because of its commercial availability. The brave celery (talk) 01:55, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
