Here's the latest list of number ones on the antecedent of Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop chart. This particular year saw the final appearance in the top spot of Louis Jordan after 18 number ones in less than 8 years. Nowadays probably only blues afficionados know his name, but back in the late 1940s he was the Drake or Kanye of his day :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:23, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Pseud 14 edit

  • in rhythm and blues and related African-American-oriented.. --as you did with the 1948 FL, add enclosure of (R&B)
  • second long-running number one --is it longest-running or was this meant to be a variation for longest-running? If it's the latter I think it's fine too.
  • That's all from me. Another excellently written work in your series!--Pseud 14 (talk) 17:52, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

CommentsSupport from TRM edit

  • " Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs" our article hyphenates Hip-Hop in this formal title.
  • "his 18th and final chart-topper" and "tally of 18 chart-toppers" feels repetitive, perhaps there's an elegant re-word opportunity here?
  • When I see "but his music is considered to have been hugely influential " and see a single reference I guess I'm mildly disappointed. Is there more than just one individual reporting this?
  • You know what, I wonder if at some point we'll need to link juke box? I don't know if this generation of millennials know what that even means!
  • "the highest total achieved" could you say "the most achieved"?
  • I guess you're using Nat "King" Cole with "King" in quotes as that was his contemporaneous billing?
  • Any reason Tympany Five isn't linked in the table?
  • Similar to Cole above, I assume you have "Mistrusting Blues" because that's how it was listed at the time, as opposed to our own article which declares it to be "Mistrustin' Blues"?
  • Is Note [a] referenced anywhere?

No other issues, worked hard to find problems! The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 16:18, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: - many thanks for you review, all addressed now I think! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:35, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nitpicks from HAL edit

  • "record which would stand until the 1980s" --> which stood until
  • "record which would still stand in the 21st century" same thing
  • Should Blue Light Boogie be linked in the lead?
  • "each achieved more than one number one" seems a little clunky? Maybe change to "multiple number ones".
  • Are the quotation marks needed in Nat "King" Cole?
  • Should Trio be capitalized? I notice that isn't done in Nat King Cole.

Solid work. ~ HAL333 18:43, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    • @HAL333: - many thanks for your review. First four all addressed, the quote marks in "King" Cole and capitalisation of Trio are consistent with contemporary sources (ie Billboard) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:49, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Happy to support. ~ HAL333 18:51, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
