List of number-one singles on The Big Top 40 Show (2009)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Is there a need to have lists of number-one songs from a radio show that bases its countdown entirely on a retailer's sites download figures? It seems non-encyclopedic and against the recommendations of Manual of Style (record charts). The list even includes a column to compare itself to the UK's official chart.

 * Delete as unverifiable listness, no way could this ever be saved. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 22:54, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. It does relate to a chart that is widely broadcast in the UK with a large weekly audience and as a download chart it does provide an alternative to the official charts. However there is an official download chart which uses a broader base of sales and so is more authentic, whereas this chart appears to be reliant on one retailer. It could be considered an alternative chart and worthy of note like the Record Mirror chart. Since it is connected to a notable radio show, I think it might be worthy of keeping.

 * Delete. The show is notable, a list of its top tracks is not. Esteffect (talk) 01:35, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
