Here's #43 in this series. In this particular year there was something of a changing of the diva guard at the top of the R&B singles chart, as both Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross, superstars since the mid-1960s, reached number one for the final time and Whitney Houston got there for the very first time. Feedback as ever gratefully received and swiftly acted upon -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:48, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's all. -- EN-Jungwon 11:23, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @EN-Jungwon: - done. No idea what happened there :-P -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:25, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]- Ref=Reference abbreviation in the table :)
- Perhaps worth linking supergroup, for those who may be unfamiliar with the music term.
- Another of the biggest stars of black music -- should it be another one of?
- That's all I have. Great work as ever! Pseud 14 (talk) 19:11, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Pseud 14: - done the first two, the final one is alright as it stands I think -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:18, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Consider adding an image for Freddie Jackson since his songs spent the most weeks at the #1 slot. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:54, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @MPGuy2824: - done -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:18, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Some of the image captions could use a "(pictured in 19xy)", I think. Maybe only the ones that are a decade away from 1985. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 10:32, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @MPGuy2824: - done. I did all of them as only one was within a decade of 1985 and it would have looked odd to have it shown for all bar one IMO -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:37, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the sources and images have already been looked at. Support for promotion based on the prose too. Great work!--NØ 13:21, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
