The part in the lead regarding the album's chart performance wherein a few countries are stated — isn't it supposed to go in alphabetical order as to not come off as favoritism or is it alright with beginning the order with the U.S., which indeed, is the primary and most important commercial market to the project and its corresponding artist, people involved, and organizations here?
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Persistent change in the lead sentence
I have been seeing this type of edit a number of times lately, where the sentence's start is changed from Guts (stylized in all caps) is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo...
to Guts (stylized in all caps) is the second studio album by the American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo...
. This has been happening across a number of articles about Rodrigo's albums, songs and other related stuff, and this wave of edits might not be confined to just her. I know I've come across someone citing a guideline about the word the needing to precede the nationality in these type of constructs, but I forget which guideline ... and these more recent edits fail to cite the guideline.
Even knowing or not knowing the guideline, this is no doubt a disputed edit, and may need to be discussed further here. MPFitz1968 (talk) 07:15, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- It's actually just an essay, which, incidentally, also says to respect the status quo. I'd support leaving out the "the," because that seems to be more common in American English, and, for all I can tell, it's what the status quo on this article is.
- I remember there being a discussion about this essay a couple of weeks ago on Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style. If there are still people trying to make these edits, I'd suspect they're probably being disruptive on purpose. Clarinetguy097 (talk) 00:16, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Stylization is not trivial
Stylization is not a trivial detail, particularly when it reflects an artist’s intentional branding. In the case of Olivia Rodrigo’s album GUTS, the all-caps presentation is a deliberate choice by the artist and her team, visible across major platforms like Spotify, iTunes, and others. This consistent use of stylization is integral to the album’s identity and how it’s marketed, making it a significant aspect of the title rather than a mere design flourish. Acknowledging this stylization in the article respects the artist's branding and provides readers with a more accurate representation of the album as it is publicly presented and recognized.
