There are now 27 of these year-by-year country number one lists at FL status, so here's what will hopefully be #28, covering a year in which the band Alabama broke a record for consecutive number ones........as long as you ignore a Christmas song -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:28, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
- "Ray Charles was more associated with the soul and rhythm and blues genres, but in 1985 he had a number one on the country chart." Says who? This could be rewritten and one/two refs would be good for the genre aspect.
- The ref in the lead (after "Although he was far more associated with the soul and rhythm and blues genres during his lengthy career") covers this, and I added a second one for good measure
- Ref 8/9: AllMusic is a publisher
- Amended
- Is there a reason AllMusic is linked everytime and Billboard isn't? There is no need to link to these sites/magazines in refs.
- De-linked AllMusic in refs
- Just one tipp: Billboard has an entire archive for the biggest charts. 1985 Country Songs here [2] There is no need to have 52 individual refs, when there is one. It's not wrong, but this could save you and the reader time.

- Support Great, as always.--Lirim | Talk 10:05, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Support – Make sure band names that start with "The" are lowercase mid-sentence in the lead (per MOS:THEMUSIC). Other than that looks great as usual :-) – zmbro (talk) 03:19, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Support – can't find any issues :) Allied45 (talk) 02:39, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Support I made one minor grammatical change but other than that it looks great. Table looks great, sources are all formatted properly, sorting is correct, and the lede is really good - love the detail on individual artists. Great work! Toa Nidhiki05 12:46, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
