Sound samples.[edit]

I have uploaded two sound samples of the most notable songs of the album: Touch of My Hand and Breathe on Me. Should we add those to the composition section like it was done on the Blackout article? - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 14:03, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unless it serves a purpose or significance. --Efe (talk) 14:10, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WW sales[edit]

In The Zone has sold 10 million copies worldwide according to Live Nation: http://www.store.livenation.com/Product.aspx?cp=13281_16771_16305&pc=MUDD417

There is a section called overview and you can see it says it. This was the previous source of sales for her first four albums but now I see britney.com is used. It's confirmed that britney.com is unreliable, containing fake certifications and sales. It MUST be changed. --GenieOFbritney (talk) 13:49, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in In the Zone[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of In the Zone's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "italy":

From B in the Mix: The Remixes Vol. 2: "Classifica settimanale dal 10/10/2011 al 16/10/2011". Federation of the Italian Music Industry. fimi.it. Retrieved October 21, 2011.
From B in the Mix: The Remixes: "Britney Spears - B in the Mix: The Remixes". FIMI. FIMI Charts. Retrieved 2010-12-14.
From The Singles Collection (Britney Spears album): "Classifica settimanale dal 16/11/2009 al 22/11/2009". Federation of the Italian Music Industry. fimi.it. Retrieved 2010-02-20.
From Ray of Light: "Madonna: Discografia Italiana". Federation of the Italian Music Industry. HitParadeItalia. Retrieved 2010-05-31.
From (You Drive Me) Crazy: Federation of the Italian Music Industry (1999-11-06). "Italian Singles Chart". Hit Parade Italia. Retrieved 2010-08-08.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 06:09, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 4 external links on In the Zone. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

First female artist to have four consecutive number-one albums?[edit]

I think is Janet Jackson. Britney is the first female artist to have four consecutive albums DEBUT at number one. --Losigro (talk) 21:54, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WW Album Sales[edit]

In the Zone has sold +10 million copies by now. RIAA latest certification update was in LESS THAN A MONTH since the release of this album in 18th of November so In the Zone was already x2 Platinum in the 16th of December.

It's stated that by the end of 2003 the album shifted 5,5 million copies WW and all the certification data we have nowadays is from 2003 - 2004 when the album sold 7 - 8 million copies worldwide so it's time to update the number of sales and give this album her true recognition with +10 million copies worldwide. 88.7.36.115 (talk) 12:17, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We only care for reliable sources, which you have brought none. --Muhandes (talk) 15:46, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
