I have compared this article to its equivalent singles list (currently a FL), and I hope that it is of a similar quality. I feel that this list meets the FL criteria, and I welcome any comments about how it could be improved. Thanks very much in advance!

Resolved comments from Giants2008 (Talk) 22:14, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comments –
  • "from 2007 onwards, it also included albums sold through digital distribution." Since I assume the system still works this way, should it be "it has also included" to reflect a present tense?
  • Done.
  • "his 2005 compilation The Essential reached number one." Minor, but the full name of the album could be given here to match the table's entry.
  • Done.
  • What is sourcing Amy Winehouse's entries? The references are all archived entries from before her death. Is there an active version of the 2000s general ref that covers it?
  • Whoops. Added a ref for 2011.
  • For Winehouse's photo caption, there isn't anything in the article saying she'd reached number one with Back to Black before her death. That might be useful for the lead, but should be cited somewhere, either way. Giants2008 (Talk) 04:32, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Replaced with a ref that specifies that the album returned to number one. Thanks for the comments! A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 15:15, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Comment very nice, once Giant's comments have been addressed, I will support this nomination. Just make sure you're consistent, is it "The Official UK Charts Company" or "Official Charts Company"? The Rambling Man (talk) 09:09, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My thinking is that "The Official UK Charts Company" is how the organisation was known in 2005, when the archive caches that I'm using for reference were captured. So I assumed that that's what should be put in the publisher parameter. But, if you'd rather this were changed for consistency, I'll happily do so. Thanks very much!

I'm okay with it, will leave the comment here in case anyone else debates the point, but for my part, I support this nomination. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:54, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Any reason why don't use the exclamation mark in the markup for rowscopes? NapHit (talk) 15:05, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Only my own ignorance, I'm afraid. Have now made the change. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 15:24, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, I now see no issues with this list and support the nomination. NapHit (talk) 17:59, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Glad seeing Otis here. But I have one question: It says that Back to Black became UK's biggest-selling album of the 21st century, but not permanently. So, which album trumped the record?--♫GoP♫TCN 15:16, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
