 * Comment - It’s a pretty terrible shape, but hitting #2 on the Mainstream Rock Charts is a notable feat. Could this just be a case of sources being trapped in print magazines, because it’s a song from 1991? I wouldn’t oppose redirecting if no ones going to actually bother to write a decent article with any content, but I also wouldn’t oppose undoing that redirect if someone actually put effort into writing it, because I believe it’s likely the sourcing exists.

 * Not sure, all I know is its been in this state for a while. Never sure about billboard, I know the main chart is enough, but am none to sure about the genre charts.Slatersteven (talk) 12:47, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
 * ”A while”? You nominated it today, less than 2 hours after it was created. It’s only existed for a few hours. And you didn’t even try boldly redirecting. Sergecross73   msg me  14:34, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
 * It came up on the new articles feed as created in 2009, by banned user XxTimberlakexx.Slatersteven (talk) 14:37, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
 * That is because it was originally created as a redirect in 2009. The actual article was only created on Sep. 20 2019. Rlendog (talk) 19:45, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hence my confusion, as it showed up (as I said) in the new pages feed as an old article created in 2009. So I clicked on the link and saw this article.Slatersteven (talk) 10:43, 24 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Back from Rio (the album it was on) if nothing new is found, but I'm pretty supportive of a #2 charting song keeping its own article overall.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 15:44, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Back from Rio. Charting, in and of itself, does not make a song notable if it hasn't otherwise received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 23:10, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Back from Rio. I agree with Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars. Chart placement does not make a song notable; significant coverage in reliable sources is a better indicator of notability. Since there does not appear to be significant coverage on this subject, a redirect seems like the best option. Aoba47 (talk) 00:49, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
