(3) Double Listings
#16 & #20 are the same (Some Kind Of Monster). Also #13 should be combined with #1 (under Duets w/San Francisco Symphony - S&M). Finally #1 (Metallica) & #19 (Enter Sandman) seem to be the same based on time frame of 1991 & because 'Enter Sandman' was the big hit from that album.
Data fixed, thanks

#1 - S&M
Please take another look at this album. Per my e-mail dated 26 Feb 2015; youadded the Chart Entry Sweden 1 - 20 weeks here. However when you go to the year 1999 this entry is not there (see #18). Can you correct this?
It is unclear what you are asking. If you are seeing that the "chart entries" listed for the album "S&M" are different on the "Metallica" page and the "1999" page that *must* be due to your browser caching pages, the way the contents are generated means that the "chart entries" are exactly the same on the server. Check the "version number" at the foot of each page and force a refresh on the older ones.
The process that generates the pages of this site forces them to be consistent for any particular version

Double Listing - S & M
