Hot Latin Tracks claim[edit]

Hey @Magiciandude:, I looked everywhere for a Billboard source or even a book source to verify that Secada's four number one singles were a record for the chart, but couldn't find one. I then ran a source check for Selena (since she reportedly tied with him) and didn't find anything on it being a record, I then ran it with Enrique who had five number one singles and I found his claim verifable as a record but it doesn't tell me who was the previous record holder. By any chance can you help me find a source that I can add in the article that verifies Secada's record claim? Also on Selena since she tied with him? I removed two book sources that I thought verified the claim but after doing a source check to verify, I couldn't find it. Thanks, .jona ^talk 17:40, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disregard this message, I found the source (it was already sourced in the article smh!). Best, .jona ^talk 17:51, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

I'm curious about the translation, it looks like a literal one, whereas the English song itself was translated as "Just another day without you", worth mentioning I think.

I am not a Spanish speaking person so I asked one of my friends here on Wikipedia who gave me the literal translation. There are no sources out there for the translation of the album title. jona ^(talk) 21:32, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But you are aware that the English-language version of this song uses the lyrics "Just another day without you" aren't you? The Rambling Man (talk) 04:49, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I am aware of that. jona ^(talk) 14:58, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So it should be added to the article for completeness. It uses the same music, and was Secada's breakthrough English-language track, it's worth noting here. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:24, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

" who got the idea" clunky and unencyclopedic, particularly as you already said "The idea to..." earlier on. Rephrase.

"market potential" quote needs reference.

That paragraph is cited to the same page, just didn't want to overpopulate it. But Done jona ^(talk) 21:32, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"becoming the first Latin artist to do so" no, something like "making Secada the first Latin artist to achieve the feat".

Done jona ^(talk) 21:32, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Secada became the first Hispanic artist of color to have a number one song on the Hot Latin Tracks chart." shouldn't this fact come when you first talk about number ones on the Latin Tracks chart?
