Talk:2012 in British music charts

Posted

I've posted the template for 2012 in British Music, but when the first chart of 2012 is posted, I'll fill in the blanks ;)

British music?

Is this article supposed to be about British music or British music charts, because I consider Flo Rida, Lady Gaga, Foster the People, Kelly Clarkson, and Lana Del Rey American music artists. And is it really necessary to have a week-by-week breakdown? It all seems a bit extraneous, don't you think? What about coverage about actual British music? --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 05:44, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I was going to ask exactly the same question, what have this article to do with British music? This is just a series of lists of British charts and other unnecessary information. I did not know that El Paso, Texas is now part of the "British empire" (I'm referring to At the Drive-In), and that Johnny Otis, Etta James, and Whitney Houston were British citizens. Also, this article actually does not cover (for example) the albums and singles released by British artists (bands and musicians), nor the UK tours. Please, see 2012 in American music when you have spare time. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 15:07, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Have made some improvements (I think) to the breakdown, to reduce the duplication somewhat. I intend to make further changes along the lines suggested above. Deb (talk) 11:39, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Naturally everyone's comments and suggested changes are welcome. Deb (talk) 18:39, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

The entire article just gives way too much undue weight to the UK charts over actual British music. Maybe it should just be changed to 2012 in British music charts like 2007 in British music charts, then at least it would be an accurate reflection of what the article is about. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 06:25, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

I wouldn't disagree with that. I feel it should be more like the earlier Year in British Music articles, but I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. 16:18, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I've been bold and created 2007 in British music to replace the article that was redirected to 2007 in British music charts. Have a look and see what you think. Deb (talk) 20:15, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Getting somewhere with that. Thanks. The earlier "years in British music" articles are much more how these articles should look, at least in coverage. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 21:30, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
