Following the successful promotion of the lists for 1959, 1991, and every year from 2000 to 2007 inclusive, and with 2008 having multiple supports, here's yet another one.... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:47, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Aoba47
  • I have a question about this sentence (Four artists achieved a first number-one hit in 2009.). Would “their first number-one hit” be better than “a firt number-one hit”? Something about the current phrasing reads a little off to me.
  • I was confused by this part (The five-week run by Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" was the longest spell at the top by a single song,) from the second paragraph, as it seems to repeat the same information from this part ("Need You Now" also achieved considerable crossover success) from the first paragraph.
  • I would revise/simplify this sentence (When Aldean's song spent its fourth week at the top in late September, it was the first song to do so since February of the previous year) as I was confused when I first read it. Wouldn’t it better to simply the sentence by just saying it was the first song of the year to stay at number one for four weeks. I am not sure how important the “February of the previous year” part really is in this particular context.
    • I've made a slight change to that bit, but I feel that the "February of the previous year" bit is important as it emphasises that it had been a huge length of time (more than 18 months) since a song had stayed at number one for that long...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:24, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • For this part (Brad Paisley duet with Keith Urban) in the “Chart history” table, I would remove “duet”.
    • But that's how Billboard credit the song, so therefore (IMO) that's how it should be credited here...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:22, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Great work with the lists. I only found relatively minor points to correct. I never really thought about these types of lists before, and you made it an engaging and informative read. It definitely inspires me to work on a similar type of list in the future. Once my comments are addressed, I will be more than happy to support this for promotion.

@Aoba47:, any chance of checking back in....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:21, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for the ping. I was not aware that you responded to my comments. In the future, please ping me to let me know that you responded as I will not know otherwise. I support this for promotion. Aoba47 (talk) 18:23, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • There seems to be something wrong with the lead/image though so I would suggest correcting that. Aoba47 (talk) 18:25, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some sort of shocking copy/paste fail on my part, now rectified.......... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:32, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • No worries. It happens to the best of us. Aoba47 (talk) 02:09, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Link chart.
  • Lead image can't be used here, it's a fair use image and has no rationale for inclusion here (nor in one other place it's currently being used).
    • I can't believe I didn't notice that - I'll find a different lead image -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:12, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref col should be unsortable.
  • Justin Moore is needlessly piped back to itself...
