The first line of the article says "Queen + Paul Rodgers album titled, "The Cosmos Rocks", but the article name implies that there is no title. Should we move the article back to "The Cosmos Rocks" or edit the first line? I think as per wikipedia rules the article can be titled the cosmos rocks as many internet sources (including the BBC) are saying that The Cosmos Rocks is, in fact, its title.

The album title has yet to be announced. Cosmos Rocks is the name of the tour. Why is it being applied to the album? AulaTPN 12:20, 2 April 2008 (UTC) BBC Has said that that will be the name of the album, and yes it has been announced.http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7306006.stm AceKingQueenJack (talk) 14:27, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was move. JPG-GR (talk) 01:52, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

It DOES appear to be the working title and the one most likely to be recognised by readers. And we would need to rename it AGAIN when the final name is published. So I'd be (mildly) against renaming at THIS point. Martin Packer (talk) 08:52, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

There's a bit of a discrepancy with the confirmed tracks. Only the following have been officially confirmed by anyone: "Say It's Not True", "C-lebrity", "We Believe", "Call Me", and "Whole House Rocking". Del Shannon's "Runaway" is the cover version that was going to be on the album, but isn't anymore.
"The Cosmos Rocks" is most likely part of "Whole House Rocking". I don't see anywhere on Brian's website where he hints at "46664 The Call" being on the new album, apart from a vague reply to a fan letter ("Well, this is certainly worth thinking about ...maybe you will start a landslide !"). To me, that doesn't say anything about the song being on the new album, except that he might think about it. He may also just be saying that to placate the fan -- who knows. But it's unconfirmed all the same. "Warboys (A Prayer For Peace)" and "Take Love" have also been hinted at being on the new album, mostly by Paul, but they are still unconfirmed. One of the more recent interviews with Paul said that "Take Love" hadn't been recorded yet, and that "Warboys" was offered to Q+PR but wasn't recorded yet either. And I have no idea where "Hopefully" came from.
I'm not saying that these songs won't end up on the album, but until otherwise reported and confirmed, the aforementioned five tracks should be placed under an "Unconfirmed / Rumored / Wishful thinking" category so as not to confuse fans. Or, at the very least, someone should cite their sources and confirm them. 68.37.95.196 (talk) 14:50, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I think we're very light on citations for authorship. And in some cases authorship might be disputed. Cosmos Rockin' is a case in point - as I've not hear the "they all did it" :-) claim before. Martin Packer (talk) 20:00, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
I vote we get rid of the song information stuff until there's more information. There's just not enough to go by, in terms of who played what; it relies more on speculation and irrelevant opinion (for instance, under 'Some Things That Glitter': "This is a love song written by Paul Rodgers. It features him on piano, and is very similar to the Bad Company song Silver, Blue and Gold, also penned by Rodgers, from their album Run with the Pack." So what?).
Also, what's the point in having the "17th Studio Album" section? The band haven't even finished the tour yet and there's already speculation for a new album? What does that have anything to do with the album? Unless anyone has any objections, I'm going to delete this. 71.224.53.203 (talk) 01:18, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
I've just fixed the broken sales figures table and while I was there I thought I'd double check the Silver/50,000 status for UK sales with the BPI [3] as there was no source cited. According to them, there is no data available for this album yet so I've removed the figure until it can be verified. AulaTPN 10:01, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I pressed enter before I finished typing my edit summary. It's still Queen + Paul Rogers Zazaban (talk) 01:58, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Two things: First is the enormous blank space above it.
I have no clue how to fix that, could somebody do it?
And second:
The format is completely different from every other album track listing...not that it's that bad in itself, but it is not consistent, and provides less information than desired - something similar to this is normally seen for smaller albums, which this album isn't.
