A fact from Independent Albums appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 February 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Who Let the Dogs Out by Baha Men was the first number one of the Billboard's Independent Albums chart, and would later go on to be the biggest selling independent album of 2001?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/February.

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was no consensus. --BDD (talk) 17:44, 4 March 2013 (UTC) (non-admin closure)[reply]

Independent Albums → Top Independent Albums – Actual chart name as published in the magazine, which should take precedent over Billboard's website. Relisted. BDD (talk) 17:39, 21 February 2013 (UTC) Dan56 (talk) 06:51, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It's no longer published in print and Billboard.biz shows it as "Independent Albums" on its list of charts. It does show it as "Top Independent Albums" when you view the current chart but none of those have been updated since at least 2009. It still shows the Alternative chart "Hot Modern Rock Tracks", for example. In some recent chart update columns from late 2012, its referred to as "Independent Albums" [1] and [2]. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 08:07, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment / suggestion : Even with the uppercase "A", isn't "(Top) Independent Albums" an overly generic-sounding name – i.e. is this article better named along the lines of Billboard Independent Albums..? CsDix (talk) 18:26, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
