Delete. With the discontinuation of the chart and only four years of "achievements", I recommend deletion of this list of trivia. There was no consensus on a previous AFD Wolfer68 (talk) 10:10, 23 June 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete There's no truth to the rumor that Casey Kasem looked at these statistics and said "Wow, this is really boring!" This type of compilation of trivia about songs that had been #1 wouldn't work even for a longstanding Billboard chart.    Mandsford (talk) 18:24, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete Nothing but a big list of trivia. Never mind that there're other similar lists, they should be axed too. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 02:36, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral but lean toward delete — While I voted to keep similar articles on the Hot 100 and Hot Country Singles charts (because of those charts' long-term notability and availability of sources), the issue with this article is not about sources. The Pop 100 chart is relatively short-lived and has fewer notable accomplishments relating to writer, producer, etc.; compare that to the articles about the Hot 100 with 50 years and Hot Country Songs which is 65 years old; there is no similar article currently for the R&B chart, which is 67 years old and whose stats have similar verifiability through Billboard magazine and other sources (including but not limited to Joel Whitburn). I would support keeping articles about the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs, and if they existed the Billboard 200 (albums chart) and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts, but not much beyond that. (BTW — any arguement from Casey Kasem, whether he said it or not, is not a valid argument). Briguy52748 (talk) 21:35, 30 June 2009 (UTC)]]
 * Delete - no real encyclopedic value - the chart only ran for about 4 years... far too brief to gather and compare statistics in the grand scheme of pop music. - eo (talk) 17:10, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
