Singles List

Anyone got a full list of single releases? --PopUpPirate July 8, 2005 23:31 (UTC)

Live!! Plus One

Is this an album or an EP? It's listed under both IainP (talk) 13:35, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It could be considered as both. The Japanese version was a 4-track EP; the Greek version was a 9-track album. However, most Iron Maiden fans regard it as an EP i.e. it's rarely listed along with their other full-length albums. More information here. Paul Armstrong 06:25, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

where can one get details about Iron maiden album certifications in Japan, Brazil, France and Sweden? Will231982 07:44, 30 July 2006 (UTC)will231982[reply]

Have updated info on album certifications, with data from Sweden, Australia, Norway, Holland and Poland added to the existing ones. Will231982 14:33, 10 September 2006 (UTC)will231982[reply]

Country codes

There's some confusion about the use of country codes. I propose that we follow the three-letter country code ISO standard. It's widely accepted and people can easely refer to it if they're not sure about one code (link: ISO 3166-1 alpha-3)

I've changed the CHI into CHE, since I first used the CH which is the two-letter code for Switzerland.

I'm also the one who added the Soundscan data. As soon as I get current data, I will update the entries.

Live After Death DVD

I added the chart position for Australia (I wasnt logged in at the time). I dont know the sales or chart positions in any other country, though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Magicana (talk • contribs) 11:05, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I dont think it's neccesarily appropriate to only include the album sales for the U.S. A worldwide sales figure would be more to the point as Maiden are a band with international popularity and the U.S have never embraced the band to the extent other countries have —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.212.233 (talk) 01:30, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sales numbers too high

Some of the (US) album sales numbers on here are too high. I'll list what I found:

Number of the Beast:

RIAA: Platinum Wiki: Over 2 million

Powerslave:

RIAA: Platinum Wiki: Over 2 million

Somewhere in Time:

RIAA: Platinum Wiki: Over 2 million

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son:

RIAA: Gold Wiki: Over a million

Fear of the Dark:

RIAA: No certification Wiki: Over 500,000

Live after Death:

RIAA: Platinum Wiki: Over 2 million

Either Wiki is wrong or it's the RIAA. Somehow, I trust the RIAA more.
