Leanne Paul Piper?

Since when has her birth name had that spelling? Moreover, it ought to be noted somehow that Billie remains her 'real' name. I remember from Billie's early website [1]:

Q: Is Billie your real name?
A: Yes, my real name is Billie Piper. I was registered as Leanne for three weeks, but luckily my parents changed their minds!

Verification

So it seems we need to verify the chart positions of Billie's singles and albums. All of Piper's UK discography and chart positions are found in a sidebar in the Doctor Who Magazine interview that I added to the References section, so that's OK. (The magazine says that the album Honey to the B made it to #14, but Honey to the B says it debuted at #1. Not sure which is correct, but I'm leaving the DWM citation on the page for now.) I haven't been able to find a source for the Australian and US chart positions, other than the Honey to the B and Walk of Life pages here on Wikipedia (and of course, I don't know where they got their info from). I don't know much about pop music, really, and I haven't noticed extensive footnoting on the discographies of other pop singers here on Wikipedia. Does anyone know what we need to do to meet the standard for verification, and how best to cite whatever we find? (For a bit I was writing "(Cook, 2006)" after each UK chart position, but that looked really dumb so I reverted it.) Help from anyone is welcome. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 03:02, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
