Comment - pretty sure it should be "was" not "were" as the band is a single entity. The hook is good, but it might be a little clearer if the album and band name are paired together. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 02:58, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
Alt 1: ... that Boys & Girls by Alabama Shakes (pictured) was the first album to top the Official Record Store Chart?

Per MOS:PLURALS, collective nouns like band names are often treated as plural in British English. I'm generally fine with the alt hook; my only concern is that, with that particular construction, it could be read as though it is the album that is being pictured, although obviously that is not the case.

- Article meets date and size requirements, hook (either) is interesting and sourced. This seems ready to go. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 06:08, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
