"Near...far..." it didn't matter where you were in 1998. This song was inescapable even if you switched to Spanish-language radio stations. Anyways, in 1998, the chart went unpublished for two weeks because of the damage to radio monitoring systems in Puerto Rico by Hurricane Georges. So I'm interested to see if how I wrote it works.

Comments edit

  • Firstly, how weird that Latin pop radio played that dreary Celine Dion song so much that it actually got to number one on this chart. But that's nothing to do with this review :-)
  • "were not published on the weeks of October 10 and October 17" - I would change this to "were not published in the issues dated October 10 and October 17"
  • "It remained on the top position for five more weeks" => "It remained in the top position for five more weeks"
  • "Ponce had established himself as a soap opera actor on his entertainment career before becoming a musical artist" - I think just "Ponce had established himself as a soap opera actor before becoming a musical artist" would suffice
  • "Estefan was the only female act to have more than one chart-topper" - might be worth mentioning all the acts with multiple number ones here and then point out that Gloria was the only female one. Seems a bit odd to highlight her and not mention the others at all.
  • "Ricky Martin [...] was named the best-performing song of the year" - it wasn't Ricky that was named best-performing song of the year, so change the "and" after the song's title to ",which"
  • "having spent three weeks on this position" => "having spent three weeks in this position"
  • "Martin is the first artist in the chart's history to replace himself at number one when" => "Martin was the first artist in the chart's history to replace himself at number one when"
  • "Alejandro Sanz is the only other artist with their first number one "Amiga Mía"" - he wasn't, because you then go on to say that OV7 had their first and only number one this year. So rephrase to "Alejandro Sanz also gained his first number one with "Amiga Mía""
  • Missing quote mark on Te Quiero Tanto, Tanto"
  • Is telenovela normally shown in italics? It looks a bit odd with that word and then the title all in italics - it makes it look a bit like the word telenovela is part of the title
  • Eso es todo :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:05, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks! Yeah I remember the Titanic mania as well having the soundtrack for it and all that, lol. Anyways, I looked at the article for telenovela and you're right, it's not italicized so I removed the italics. I believe I got everything else as well.

Comments edit

  • Billboard magazine should be italicized in the first sentence of the article.
  • I also suggest adding the fact that "My Heart Will Go On" was just the second English song in the chart's history that reached the top spot. (The first one was Selena's "I Could Fall In Love".) Source

Comments by AJona1992 edit

  • There seems to be an inconsistency with (pictured) throughout the images provided.
  • Billboard should be italicized.
  • That's all I have during my read. Once these have been addressed, I will support this nomination. Best – jona ✉ 13:47, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not wishing to speak on behalf of the nom but presumably "(pictured)" is in the Ponce image caption because there are two people mentioned in that caption so it's to avoid the (admittedly slight but still theoretical) possibility of people not knowing which one is pictured..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:16, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude@AJona1992 True, but looking at back, there's already an image of Fernández before Ponce's, so I guess it's fine in this case. Erick (talk) 13:33, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ah ok, just strike that comment then. Best – jona ✉ 20:05, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Source review – As with the similar lists I've looked at, the references are reliable and well-formatted, and no issues were found by the link-checker tool. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:17, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Image review – All four of the photos have appropriate free licenses. While alt text isn't strictly required, only one of the four images currently has it and it would be nice to see it added to the others. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:21, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
