Portugal Digital Songs

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is another chart that is not a Billboard chart. Billboard.biz (a subscription site) does show a Portugal songs chart but cites a source called RIM for its chart information, not Nielsen (just like Billboard cites the Official Charts Company for its UK chart information). The claim as sourced in this stub is not true and there is no Portugal Digital Songs chart as defined here. According to List of record charts, official charts from Portugal come from Top Oficial da AFP and what is listed on its site does not correspond to these lists. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 19:05, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete, seems to be fabricated. By the way, do all of these nonexistant X Digital Songs charts articles come from the same author? That should be checked. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:33, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * They are created by the same author who only seems to be editing lately as an IP (judging by the edit history of these articles and lists). Billboard.biz does list these songs as being number one of something from Portugal but it is unclear exactly what; seemingly added by someone who thinks that just because they are there, they should be here. One other created by the same author, Luxembourg Digital Songs, seems just as unreliable in terms of adequate sourcing, but at least its referred to specifically as Luxembourg Digital Songs by Billboard, and most likely a Nielsen-compiled chart. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 21:38, 23 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment All these international digital songs charts are compiled by Nielsen SoundScan International and published by Billboard magazine. Correct sources are listed only in the print edition. Widr (talk) 00:41, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * As opposed to the previously deleted charts, Greece and Poland Digital Songs, I see that this one does appear in Billboard magazine in the Hits of the World section, apparently published in print every other week. The chart itself doesn't seem to have any significance in terms of third-party coverage, however. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 15:25, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Update The sources are now listed correctly at Billboard.biz too. Widr (talk) 20:29, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * It should still be deleted on notability concerns. Just because it's in Billboard doesn't make it notable. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 16:16, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
