Debut

Ok, for the last time, IT IS NOT...

Britney Spears reclaimed that position in 1999 with her 25 million selling debut.

Actually, one of Britney's official site says it sold 22 million. Here is the link: http://www.britney.com/biography —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.250.190.172 (talk) 14:24, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Casualties?

"The album had a slow start, but exploded during 1986 with the help of three number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100."

Was anybody injured? Extraordinary Machine 00:09, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How and Greatest

I added a bullet under "singles" regarding How Will I Know and Greatest Love of All having alternate mixes that may appear on random copies of this album. Arista may have switched to the alternate versions (such that appear on their videos) during later pressing runs and so may be a serial number issue. Original HOW = percussions + synth intro. Alternate HOW = extended percussions intro before synth. Original GREATEST = piano intro. Alternate GREATEST = synth intro and slight vocal melody change on the 2nd "no matter what they take from me."

Debut

In the U.S. Both Whitney Houston and Baby One More Time have shipped over 10 million copies, but according to the RIAA Baby One More Time has shipped 14 million, and Whitney Houston has shipped 13 million, so according to them, this is not the highest selling debut.
