Talk:1996 in music

No order
The list of albums released should have some sort of order, either alphabetical or by release date.
 * I started this now, but since I have to go, I had to leave half of it not finished. If someone have the time, PLEASE do this. It's not that much left. - Aki 15:19, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Edit war
Hello little kids. Can you enlighten us as to why you're using this as the spot to stage your fighting?
 * It's not an edit war. It's a repeatedly banned user (User:Michael) attempting to add garbage to Wikipedia. He likes to use deceiving edit summaries ("Reverted to last edit..."). -- Notheruser 23:49, 29 Jul 2003 (UTC)

A Northern Soul
A Northern Soul'' - The Verve removed. Is a 1995 album.

Subsection headings - Awards and Charts
I've removed the subsection headings in the Awards and Charts sections. Most of these subsections simply point to main articles elsewhere; I feel they're unnecessary and making navigation of this article unwieldy. Alchemagenta (talk) 12:00, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Top 10 Albums?
I noticed that this year didn't have any top ten albums of the year. Why is that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tha90s4life (talk • contribs) 19:55, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Top Hits Section
This section needs a cleanup. There's no given criteria for what a "top hit" is so it has become bloated with songs that were minor hits at best. Even songs that don't seem to have charted at all, like P.O.D's Breathe Babylon"..or the album(?!) "Motel California" by Ugly Kid Joe that charted at #128 in the UK and no where else... Also quite a few songs by Mexican singer Lynda Thomas are included. I'm not familiar with her songs and can't find chart positions for any of them. Were all these song really big in Latin America? If they weren't please delete them. Thanks. Bennv3771 (talk) 05:20, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
