  •  Not done, in context of the rest of the lead it doesn't make sense as the second and third paragraph flow together. I would normally agree otherwise.
  • Yeah that is fine, my bar for not looking at context properly. --K. Peake 07:42, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Done, changed
  •  Not done, no need to change this. Given that its a limited/special release and was region-linked its significant to include sales.

  •  Done, changed
  • "In comparison, the group's first album..." this sentence is not only incorrect because that article is from 2008, but it also off topic since there is no mention of Doll Domination in that article whatsoever
  • Not sure what you mean, this sentence is about the previous album, serving as a comparison between the sales of PCD versus Doll Domination.
  • I am aware it is used to compare the sales of the two albums, but this is trivial since the source about PCD not only offers no mention of the other album, but it is from a different period in time. --K. Peake 07:44, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
