Broken timeline.[edit]

As of now (2020-08-28 12:30Z), the "timeline" is broken. The black and grey lines indicating recordings are all screwed up. I have no idea how to fix it. Maybe someone else? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.196.202.26 (talk)

Record sales[edit]

Record Sales seems a bit off, intro text says 200 million. Altough news sources in the last couple of years is at 240. Seems to be wrong on the "List of best selling artists" as well.

12 x 5[edit]

This statement, "Their second LP, 12 X 5, which was only available in the US, was released during the tour", I don't believe is correct. I understand the album was released in Australasia as well. Unfortunately the ref is no longer functional. Neils51 (talk) 23:00, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
