I am nominating this for featured list because having worked on it extensively for the past few months, I believe it meets the featured list criteria. As the Billboard rap chart was only in existence for 10 months in the 1980s, it seems more appropriate to merge both decades into a single list. Holiday56 (talk) 14:28, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • "173 singles topped the Hot Rap Singles chart from 1989 to 1999," - don't start a sentence with a numeral, maybe go with "Between 1989 and 1999, 173 singles......"
  • I presume "Year-end number-one single" refers to the biggest-selling single of the year? If so, is there an alternate way to word it, because at first I thought it meant the single that was at number 1 at the end of the year, and couldn't figure out why none of them seemed to have been hits in December......
    • Billboard's chart of the top-performing singles of the year is entitled the "Year-end" chart by the magazine, hence the wording. I've had a previous FL nomination of a number-one songs list pass without any issue regarding the phrase, though I'd be fine with changing it if it hinders you from supporting this nomination.

  • Some of the refs show the publisher of Billboard as Prometheus Global Media and others as Nielsen Business Media - which is correct?
    • Prometheus Global Media only started publishing Billboard in 2009; prior to that Nielsen published it. Nielsen is listed as the publisher for pre-2009 Billboard print sources. Holiday56 (talk) 09:50, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Your comments are appreciated. Holiday56 (talk) 09:50, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, meets the FL criteria. Just a quick query: shouldn't Chubb Rock and Craig Mack be sorted by 'R' and 'M', respectively? Awesome work. Adabow (talk) 07:49, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
