The latest list of country number one songs by year. Thus far this little project of mine has produced 39 FLs, so here's the potential #40. In 1975, crossover pop-country was everywhere, not to my tastes at all, but on the other hand Willie Nelson finally had his career breakthrough with "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain", which is a great song from a great album....... -- -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:17, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • I would add punctuation to the image captions as I believe all of them are complete sentences.
  • For this part (contrasted with the lush country-pop style which was prevalent at the time), I think you can cut out "which was" to just say (the lush country-pop style prevalent at the time) to make it a little more concise.

I only have these relatively minor notes. It is interesting how the discussion on what constitutes real country music versus crossover with other genres has continued till today. My personal favorite from this would be either ""The Bargain Store" or "I'm Not Lisa" as I have a preference for female singers for some reason. Hope these comments help, and great work as always with these lists. I should do some work on Billboard chart list too. Aoba47 (talk) 02:09, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Aoba47: - done, many thanks. And yes, I think the debate about what is country and what isn't will rage for a while yet...... ;-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:31, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for addressing everything. At least the debate is interesting lol. I support this for promotion. This may sound weird, but I have honestly learned a lot about country music from reviewing your FLCs. Aoba47 (talk) 18:36, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cool - to be fair I learnt quite a lot that I didn't already know from working on them! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:27, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support This list passes the FL standards easily. I can't find any issues. Great job! (What a great year for music. Thank you for working on this) --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 04:57, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Dank:

  • Same disclaimers as for List of Hot Country Singles number ones of 1976.
  • Did some copyediting ... as always, feel free to revert.
  • Same views on the second sentence as last time.
  • I'm checking all the title links in the table ... so far, I've avoided one redirect. (Some people find that useful for titles ... feel free to revert.)
  • FLC criteria:
    • You make excellent use of images (but this isn't an image review).
    • 2. The lead meets WP:LEAD and defines the inclusion criteria.
    • 3a. The list has comprehensive items and annotations.
    • 3b. The article is well-sourced to reliable sources (but this isn't a source review). All retrieval dates are present.
    • 3c. The list meets requirements as a stand-alone list, it is not a content fork, it doesn't largely duplicate another article (that I can find), and it wouldn't fit easily inside another article.
    • 4. It is navigable.
    • 5. It meets style requirements.
    • 6. It is stable.
  • Support. Well done. - Dank (push to talk) 19:34, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
