List of number-one singles of 2016 in English-speaking countries

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Totally unnecessary amalgamation of other existing list articles on the exact topics. As all the lists are independently compiled and the only unifying factor is that they come from the "English-speaking world". Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 23:35, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete: doesn't include all charts from countries where English is an official language (South Africa?) and no indication as to why comparing charts between English-speaking countries is notable or important. Richard3120 (talk) 01:27, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: the article was created by the editor Neegzistuoja and I'm a bit worried about his/her edits in general – some of them appear to be uploading images of politicians or other important world figures, but from Flickr accounts on the internet, so it is possible that we have a whole load of non-free image violations. I've left a message on the editor's talk page. Richard3120 (talk) 01:27, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment: I thought this article could list multiple charts to show which songs are most popular in a slightly more global sense, not just in individual countries, since there are often, but not always, similar successful songs in countries where the same language is spoken. South Africa should probably be included, good point. I can definitely see why this might not be notable enough, so I'm happy for it to be removed if that consensus is reached.
