Chart Format
editSo, I've decided to redesign the chart list of the number one rock songs, but it seems like we are in a dispute here.
First of all, I want to change the table from this:
| Contents |
|---|
| ← 2000s · 2010 · 2011 · 2012 · 2013 · 2014 · 2015 · 2016 · 2017 · 2018 |
† – Number-one mainstream rock song of the year
| Issue date | Song | Artist(s) | Weeks at number one | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2010 | ||||
| February 27 | "Your Decision" | Alice in Chains | 8 | |
| April 24 | "Cryin' Like a Bitch" | Godsmack | 5 | |
| May 29 | "The Good Life" | Three Days Grace | 5 | |
| July 3 | "Let Me Hear You Scream" | Ozzy Osbourne | 4 | |
| July 31 | "The Crow & the Butterfly" | Shinedown | 1 | |
| August 7 | "Another Way to Die" | Disturbed | 8 | |
| October 2 | "Say You'll Haunt Me" | Stone Sour | 8 | |
| November 27 | "Porn Star Dancing" | My Darkest Days featuring Zakk Wylde and Chad Kroeger | 2 | |
| December 11 | "World So Cold" | Three Days Grace | 5 | |

So How do you think it will turn out? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70Jack90 (talk • contribs)
- Yes, I objected to the change. Your versions adds a huge amount of blank space in any entries that span many weeks (which happens frequently on the chart.) I think it looks worse. The only counter-argument you’ve provided so far was in the name of “standardization”, but I haven’t seen any real effort on that other than you doing it to a couple of charts recently, and I’m not aware of any WP:CONSENSUS supporting one format over another.

- I am in agreement with Sergecross73 here. You've got a full decade of songs in the list, so conciseness should be heavily considered. This is not as big of a deal for "by year" lists of number ones. I'm reverting the 90s and 2000s lists that were changed. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 00:18, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
