Need U Now / Succession
hey thanks! :) I know that a lot of discussion has gone on about their removal, and a lot of people support their removal, but I do not, I think they are fine. The guy who started the movement to remove them posted this a few weeks ago and I told him how I felt. Has there been consensus to remove them? I haven't really been following the discussion. PS- You're orange sig looks really cool on my blue background lol  Nowyouseeme  talk2me  20:41, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Well if someone tries to remove them I'll cross that bridge when I get to it (I may have a small WP:OWN issue with this article haha). I was entertaining the idea of trying to make it a good article because so few country articles are, but it still needs a fair bit of work though.

As the nominator, it'd be inappropriate for me to close it. You can move the content back over to the main article, but the AFd has to be open 7 days before it can close. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 22:08, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Lady Antebellum discography
It's the way it's supposed be now, see here.  Nowyouseeme talk2me  21:23, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah.. I'm not a huge fan of the sales column, and the countries abbreviations are freaking huge, but when I was editing it it looked even worse going by the exact samples from that page, so I tweaked some of the stuff to make it look a little better. I changed 'Country' to 'CW' because 'US Country' was so fucking big it was not pretty... I haven't even done the singles yet.  Nowyouseeme talk2me  21:34, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I was wrong - that's not how it's supposed to be yet officially, it's just a proposal, so you can still voice your opinion on it.  Nowyouseeme talk2me  05:58, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Something to do
Hey, if you want, you can help me make more of the lists of #1 songs per year. Just use the same formatting I did for List of number-one country hits of 1999 (Canada) and List of number-one country hits of 1999 (U.S.). 1998 is the latest year for which neither has been done.

The RPM peaks are here for the most part. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 01:05, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey buddy, so he's got a new solo album comin' out in November does he? What could you tell me about this? =) CloversMallRat (talk) 16:59, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, can't say I'm too interested in the idea of a 'patriotic' collection, because I generally don't care for those songs at all. Although I'm at least more interested in that project than his recent Brother Clyde venture. Glad to know he's at least releasing some country music on the side, because that's what he does best with, IMHO. CloversMallRat (talk) 23:03, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I think you got confused by the redirect — you were clicking on "Please Don't Go," which redirected back to "31 Minutes to Takeoff". I fixed the link. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 21:47, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Ok, fine, then. But I reverted it because it looked like the typical edit that I've undid multiple times in the past, because people just slap fake RIAA certifications to things. I didn't see the source change, so that's why. CloversMallRat (talk) 16:07, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

A Little Bit Stronger
For years now the release of Sara Evans' next album has been nothing but 'ifs' & 'buts'; the expected release date is constantly being changed, along with the actual title of the album. I haven't seen any reliable sources to verify the album is for sure being released, and in fact I have a reliable source that says no release date has been scheduled for the album (the title of the album isn't mentioned either). Without posting references, saying that 'A Little Bit Stronger' is the first single from her next album is just WP:SPECULATION. If you can post reliable sources on here verifying an album release date with mention of 'A Little Bit Stronger' as the first single, then great, but if you can't then I believe it is appropriate to say it is the second single from the Country Strong soundtrack. I also would like to point out you have made the article contradictory - under the 'Singles' section and in the infobox you claim 'Stronger' isn't a single, but the introduction clearly states that it is, in fact, a single.

 * Wikipedia has a Reference icon that you can press to insert one. All it asks for you to do is to insert the web link; it doesn't let you do anything else with it. Its not that I don't want to add the whole reference, its that there's no easy way to do it, and if you think I can memorize all that code then you're crazy. But then again, its not that big of a deal. I posted a link to a source to appease you, should be content with that. =) CloversMallRat (talk) 16:18, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * How do I do it, without searching for another one in an article somewhere to copy-paste so I can change it. CloversMallRat (talk) 16:58, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Is right to have album's name before the year of the release in the table? However, the countries in the table would be in alphabetic order (except the country where the artist is born). So, the order would be: US, US Country, AUS, CAN, CAN Country, NL, NOR, NZ, SWE and SWZ. SJ (talk) 10:43, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * To be clear, i think that the albums table would be like these pages (that are also in the featured list):
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duffy_discography
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Maiden_discography

List of number-one country hits
Can you check the "List of number-one country hits of 19xx (U.S.)" articles and clean up the links? The idiot that did it didn't check their work, so every instance of Brooks & Dunn is listed as just "Brooks" and almost everything links to a dab page. Thanks!

Reba discography
Thanks! I really thought it was a good idea to split them by decade with the new formatting. I saw the same thing on the Madonna singles discography and David Bowie discography, and thought it was a great idea. I just didn't like the way the other user split them because it didn't make any sense just going between 1976 - 2000, and then 2000 - present. I think we should do this kind of thing for any artist with a super long singles chart. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 01:27, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Exactly! I feel the same way. I also left my opinion on the Dolly Parton talk page. It's a really good idea. It's something that could work for other classic country artists too, like George Jones, Loretta Lynn, and Tammy Wynette. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 01:54, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

RE:
Looks pretty good. One thing there needs to be are the formats. If possible tell if the album was available on CD, cassette, 12', or whatever. Just one little thing, for the chart for the bluegrass, make sure you have a line break after US. Also if you ever wanted to take the article to FLC, you would want to try your best to get the exact dates for her early albums. Good job! Candy o32  - Happy New Year :) 21:28, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Country Strong (song)
Looks fine to me. DYK criteria in a nutshell: I checked and Country Strong is 1555 characters of prose and created 3 days ago, so you should be fine. In practice, as long as the article is newer than the oldest article nominated at T:TDYK, you can nominate it. Have fun! HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   01:34, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Created or fivefold expanded within the last five days
 * 2) Over 1500 characters of prose
 * 3) Text split from other articles or copied from public domain sources like Britannica 1910 doesn't count towards the 1500 chars
 * 4) An interesting fact from the article to make a hook
 * 5) You have to review another nomination (assuming you have more than 5 DYK credits to your name) when you make your nomination
 * Hey, what's your time zone (in offset from UTC)? I just moved Country Strong into the queue, but I'm guessing you're in the US from your userboxen, and, depending on whereabouts, it could be going on the Main Page in the evening or in the very, very early hours of the morning. If you have a preference, let me know and I'll see if I can swap it with another hook. It's in queue one at the minute and you can see the local times it'll reach the MP here. HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   19:23, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * How many hours behind UTC are you? It's 1932 UTC now if it helps. HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   19:32, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, it'll be on the MP in about 23 hours! I swapped with a hook about Bulgaria that was due to go up in the middle of the night there. HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   19:43, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Keith Urban discography
Hi,

A couple of days ago i corrected the chart positions on Keith Urban discography that were incorrect and now you went and changed them back to the incorrect ones, i have to wonder why you did that. You removed all the Australian chart positions below Top 50. In case you didn't know the Australian Album & Singles Chart are Top 100, only the Top 50 are on http://australian-charts.com but on http://pandora.nla.gov.au/tep/23790 are all the ARIA (Australian Record Industry Association) Top 100 Charts since 2002. The ARIA reports since 2002 are selected for preservation by the State Library of New South Wales on that site and is the most complete source for the complete Top 100 charts since 2002. Unfortunately you have to know what you are looking for as all the charts are updated weekly as pdf-files. The other main source/archive for Australian charts is as mentioned http://australian-charts.com although that chart only have the Top 50 positions and only for the ARIA era (1988-present). For pre-1988 charts there is the book Australian Chart Book 1970–1992, David Kent, 1993 (Australian Chart Book, St Ives, N.S.W. ISBN 0-646-11917-6), which also includes the 51-100 chart peak postitions between 1988-1992. For the 51-100 chart peak positions for the 1993-2001 era there's the book Australian Chart Book (1993–2005), David Kent, 2006 (Australian Chart Book, Turramurra, N.S.W.. ISBN 0646458892).

Keith Urban's first album from 1991 charted for a week on 13 October 1991 at #98 in Australia not UK as you went and changed it back to. Keith Urban's 1998 album peaked at #90 for a week on 12 February 2001. I've added the two books mentioned above as sources/references for the two self-titled albums from 1991 and 1998.

The following Keith Urban singles charted on positions between 50-100 on Australian Top 100; "Raining on Sunday" (24-Feb-03*HP-79'WI-01), "Days Go By" (13-Sep-04*HP-56*WI-09), "Making Memories of Us" (13-Jun-05*HP-54*WI-10), "Sweet Thing" (24-Nov-08*HP-96*WI-01), "Kiss a Girl" (01-Jun-09*HP-87*WI-04), "Long Hot Summer" (01-Nov-10*HP-82*WI-02) and the Nelly Furtado/Keith Urban duet version of "In God's Hands" (26-May-08*HP-66*WI-02).References/Sources for all these charts positions also added. Btw "Long Hot Summer" was released as the first single from Get Closer in Australia in October 2010, so it should be under the year 2010 in the singles listing, not under 2011 when it will be released in USA or on other charting songs either. "You Look Good in My Shirt" was originally included on Golden Road when it charted from unsolicited airplay at #60. The song was re-recorded and released to radio in 2008 in a different version so the original should be listed under other charting songs. If you check http://www.billboard.com/#/song/keith-urban/you-look-good-in-my-shirt/4251919 and click on the visualizer which lists the weekly chart positions you'll find that the first week is listed in July 2004 at #60. "Hit the Ground Runnin'" and "If Ever I Could Love" charted on Billboard Hot 100 Bubbling Under Chart when the album Defying Gravity was released. The information for these charts are only available for those with a paid subscription on billboard.com.

So all the charts were valid so no need to change them back to incorrect information
