article about freddie aguilar

I re-done the page, you could say. To update it and place the correct design's for the article, As of now I don't have any more or enough information to add, This is going to have to be a group Effort, as most information on this great artist cannot be found on the Internet. I hope everything goe's well, it's about time Freddie got his own dedicated article. --tomauer 12:26, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ain't that a pity that there is much more written here about this person than on the page in his mother tongue? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.177.234.50 (talk) 21:41, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What Freddie is "Best known" for is highly debatablr. In the west virtually nobody ever heard of 'Bayan ko' they knew Freddie already from 'Anak' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.82.202.250 (talk) 16:21, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Total sales claim of 30 million copies[edit]

While I am impressed by the success I have seen Aguilar's "Anak" single to have had, I have removed the unreferenced total sales claim from the article. The book Dance of life: popular music and politics in Southeast Asia, by Craig A. Lockard, one of the references cited at the Aguilar article, reads "The single record sold an unprecedented 100,000 copies in the first two weeks, and ultimately around a million copies." I read two other references in the article and neither made a sales claim. If there is a WP:Reliable source referencing a total sales claim of a different figure, and there is anything suspect about the Lockard claim or some reason to believe the record was still in release as a single and sold 30 times more since the publication, please re-add with the reference cited. If the figure turns out to be more than 5 million copies of the Aguilar single, please also add it to List of best-selling singles worldwide, with a reference and explanation of the above issue either here on this talk page or the talk page there.

Familiar Message?[edit]

"One of Freddie famous songs Anak (translated as "Child") has become a resonating song within the Filipino culture, due to its familiar message"

Can anyone care to add what that familiar message is, exactly? It seems pointless to refer to it in that manner and then not elaborate further. 166.217.108.210 (talk) 16:39, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Will do! There's a copy with English lyrics ［http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLGC7MmEIyo here]. - Fayenatic (talk) 16:04, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
