Talk:Mya (singer)

Hi all!

I was thinking if we could move this page to Mya_(singer) and keep this page (Mya) for disambiguation.

Thanks. Lazyd0g 07:55, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Mya vs. Mýa

I have seen this singer's name written as Mýa in some places. Is this a correct, alternative spelling? —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 09:06, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

Actually, "Mýa" is the correct spelling. Should we move the page? --FuriousFreddy 10:51, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I would say yes, but I've no real attachment to it nor control over it. —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 21:27, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Pop & Rock Radio

Will someone please remove the sentences such as “Although the singles all had substantial airplay on urban and rhythmic radio, they all also failed to cross over onto pop radio”. First, this is speculating that the intention of the artist was for the song to cross over. Second, this makes any success she reaches on urban and rhythmic radio sound meaningless. This is the second article I have read that made the successes achieved on urban radio sound less valuable than on pop or rock radio.

I think successes achieved on urban radio ARE less valuable than on pop or rock radio. They earn less money, they don't sell as much, they reach a smaller audience. That aside, I think that section is written such that it does give credit for her "pop" (IE: popular) hits, given that it then goes on to state the releases from Fear of Flying. My interpretation of that section is that "she became well known in the urban scene but it wasn't until later releases that she had success in the pop music charts", which are, for all intents and purposes, a fair indicator of success within the music industry. 203.173.24.42 01:05, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Photo Quality

Kudos to whoever put up that picture of Mya. That is an excellent photo of her. -- Jalabi99 08:35, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was moved to Mýa due to no opposition. Sam Vimes 22:48, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

Mýa (singer) → Mýa … Rationale: In this case, it is not necessary to disambiguate with (singer).

Mya's record sales

The official county as of January 2006:

Mya- 5 million world wide (2 in US)

Fear of Flying- 6 million world wide (2 in US)

Moodring- 4 million world wide (1 in US)

These figures are from the billboard hot 100 website, but you have to request the info as all of those albums have a few years of age and they only keep the information online for 1 year.

What happened to her picture?

the old one looked better and more perfessional. what happened to it?

Birthyear

Was Mya born in 1978 or 1979? Hotwine8 04:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

         She was born on 1979. IMDB lists it as 1978 but that was a typo-o and i requested the change already.
