To the lucky people in Taiwan and Indonesia
« on: August 07, 2006, 09:53:04 pm »
(Found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonium_%28Vanessa_Carlton_album%29)

The album's lead single, "White Houses", failed to reach the top forty of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 (it peaked at eighty-six) and was the album's only single in the U.S. It entered the top thirty in Indonesia, but a follow-up single there, "Who's to Say", peaked outside of the top forty. "Private Radio" became a top-ten hit in Taiwan, where it was the album's first single.

Is it really true though?
You can't believe everything that's on Wikipedia because anyone can modify an article and some people actually put wrong stuff in there.
So unless I hear this from an official or trustworthy source, I won't believe it ;)

Wikipedia can be edited by anyone.

I could go on there now and say "Put Your Hands On Me" went number 1 worldwide.

Most people cite their source...and who would really go out of their way to say it became a top-ten hit in Taiwan?

The same people who once wrote that Vanessa Carlton had a number one hit with "Harmonium" perhaps?

Well, I am from Indonesia, and I don't really know about other V fans in Taiwan, but ... IT DOES HAPPEN, White Houses not only hit the top thirty in Indonesia, it actually beaten up other artist such as Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit and peaked in number 7. As for Who's To Say, I don't remember if it does reach the top thirty, but I remember that in local radio in my country said that, "Who's To Say" is one of many song that get so many request from listeners.

Just a little fact about V that you may not know, 'Be Not Nobody' reach a platinum in Indonesia (150,000 copies sold)
"listen ... and you will know..."

The Wikipedians on there will go through and wipe off stuff that doesn't cite its source from time to time. 8)
