Well, here it is folks, it's taken four years and I now present the final list of yearly number-one country songs (until this year ends and I have to try and promote 2021). This will complete a set of 77 articles covering the number-one country songs of every year from 1944 to 2020. The final one covers the year in which Billboard first published the chart currently known as Hot Country Songs. As ever, any and all feedback will be addressed as quickly as humanly possible. -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:43, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Image review — Pass[edit]

Source review — Pass[edit]

  • Okay, just a few points. Version reviewed — 1
  • Link James C. McKinley Jr.
  • Billboard is not linked from Ref#43 to Ref#53
  • Rest reliability and verifiability is fine. Great!

@Kavyansh.Singh: - done. I wasn't aware up to now that McKinley was notable enough to have an article..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:10, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Pass for source review. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk)

Support from TRM[edit]

As good as we've come to expect, so just a few things...

  • "first issue of 1958 " in the past, did we look at what the incumbent number one was heading into the year, i.e. in the remnant days of the previous issue (i.e. up to 5 January in this case), as strictly they were number one in 1958 too...
  • "although he would remain popular in the 1960s he would not" passive, perhaps "although he remained popular ... he did not..."
  • "by Marty Robbins. The separate" overlinked.
  • Great Balls of Fire (not Of).
  • "Ballad of a Teenage..." (not Of A)
  • Not a single number one from a female artist....?
  • Ref 2 I can't access without a sub.

That's it. Good work. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 12:06, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: - all done apart from "Not a single number one from a female artist....?" That's clearly the case (as was probably the case in many other years in the horrendously male-dominated country field) and I could add a sentence saying "All of 1958's country number ones were by male vocalists", but I don't have a specific ref for that factoid, and someone would probably claim it was OR without one, even though you can clearly see that all of the artists listed are/were men. What do you reckon.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:19, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, no worries, it was more a personal observation which I've clearly missed before! All good for me. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 12:20, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@The Rambling Man: - I just did a quick check and there hadn't been a number one featuring a female lead vocalist since 1954 (and even that one was a duet with a male singer) and there wouldn't be another one till 1961!! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:38, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Dank

  • Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
  • I added the table captions PresN is requesting.
  • I found and fixed one double redirect in the table, but I didn't check all the links.
  • Checking the FLC criteria:
  • 1. The prose is fine. I've done a little copyediting; feel free to revert or discuss. The table coding seems fine now. I checked sorting on all sortable columns.
  • 2. The lead meets WP:LEAD and defines the inclusion criteria.
  • 3a. The list has comprehensive items and annotations.
  • 3b. The article is well-sourced to reliable sources, and the UPSD tool isn't indicating any (actual) problems (but this isn't a source review). All relevant retrieval dates are present.
  • 3c. The list meets requirements as a stand-alone list, it isn't a content fork, it doesn't largely duplicate another article (that I can find), and it wouldn't fit easily inside another article.
  • 4. It is navigable.
  • 5. It meets style requirements. At a glance, the images seem fine.
  • 6. It is stable.
  • Support. Well done. - Dank (push to talk) 04:30, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. It's been a while since I've been here but I'm shocked you've kept this up over the years. The best thing I can say is congrats. I'll definitely make sure to support the FT when you nominate that. I'm more than happy to support the final list. Great job to you. – zmbro (talk) 15:57, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
