“== Hot 100 Edit ==

[edit] Untitled

Being ranked #6 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 is NOT the same as being ranked #106 on the Hot 100 (in fact, the Hot 100 is so-called because it only includes EXACTLY 100 entries). The Bubbling Under Hot 100 ONLY includes songs that have not (yet) charted on the Hot 100. For instance, if a song hit 100 on the charts, and then dropped five spots (making it now #105), it would NOT appear on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 since it has already charted in the Hot 100. For addition info, please see Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles. i think its fine.. leave it alone ;]°the only thing i said was hi.. y r u doing this???

[edit] Merge John Ondrasik

Should John Ondrasik and Five for Fighting be merged? Currently Five For Fighting (capital "F" on "For") redirects to John Ondrasik which is a separate article from Five for Fighting (small "f" on "for"). The Five for Fighting article says that is a "screen name" of Ondrasik, while the John Ondrasik article says he is the "chief member" of the band. We probably need to get our stories straight. (I have no knowledge of the guy, so I'm not the one to do it.) --rbrwrˆ 19:07, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I always thought it was a band, with him as the front man. I don't really know anything about them, but I remember seeing them on TV once (I think it was an NHL All-Star game) and they said they were often asked where the 5th member of their band was by people who don't follow hockey.

To answer the above statement by rbrwr, I would say that John is pretty much the solo member of the band. He writes almost all the music and lyrics for all of Five for Fighting's songs. I do think that the two articles should be merged because the members vary on some of Five for Fighting's songs.

This article would benefit from having some personal information about Ondrasik such as his date of birth.

The article should make it expressly clear that Five for Fighting is not a quintet, contrary to the common myth resulting from its name. --Coolcaesar (talk) 11:44, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit] overview

Is it necessary to include that the song "Superman (It's Not Easy)" became popular after the September 11 attacks in 2001?

[edit] Five for Fighting

There's a lot of issues with this one - way too much puff and non-encyclopedic content, including instructions on where to buy albums, a blow by blow listing of when each of every single comes out - some serious reorganization needs to be dealt with. I did some minor copy-editing, but someone with time who knows what they're doing ought to take a shot at overhauling this entry. Echoedmyron (talk) 22:56, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

I just took a crack at refining it a bit. I know the intro still isn't big, but I just can't think of any real "career-spanning" stuff other than his singles. It's my first big editing job, so I hope I did Wiki justice. TomQ541 (talk) 00:32, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
