Hi, what is the best way to properly source the chart position for Rolling Stone charts? Just like Billboard, one cannot use the specific chart for the week a song or album peaked (unless it was at #1), because the song could have reached a peak subsequently. The good thing with Billboard (for the most part) is that you can go to an artist's page and see exactly the title, the chart, the peak, and the date in one place. Rolling Stone does not offer that and if using the peak position is unreliable as stated in this essay, how is the peak position absolutely confirmed without looking at & citing the entire chart run of the song/album? Thanks. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 01:01, 15 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
- By the way, I have an issue with Bad Guy (Billie Eilish song) being listed as #1 on Rolling Stone but no one has addressed it yet (or those who've tried fixing it have been reverted). StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 01:01, 15 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
- @Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars: Since there's no easy way, you have to cite whichever week represents the song's highest position. Looking at "Bad Guy", it appears to be lsited at a peak of #3 with a proper citation. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

- Thanks for the reply, but linking to specific week's chart does not actually verify that that is the peak (unless it reached #1). How would one know that is the legitimate peak? Relying on Wikipedia editors is not the way to go here. Linking to a week's chart should not be allowed for Billboard charts either because they do not confirm the actual peak.

Can we use the "Trending 25" chart on Wikipedia song articles? The chart ranks songs by their gain in popularity and excludes songs that have charted high on the "Top 100" chart. CountyCountry (talk) 20:10, 22 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
