List of Best Selling Soul Singles number ones of 1971

 * Nominator(s): ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:49, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi everyone, here's #29 in this series. In this particular year, Marvin Gaye was the top performer, taking three singles to number one from an album which many have called one of the best of all time. As ever, feedback will be gratefully received and swiftly acted upon...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:49, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Pseud 14

 * A suggestion for the Denise LaSalle image caption, perhaps remove pictured as it appears she's the only one shown in the image.
 * As for Sly Stone, perhaps indicate the year the photo was from instead of later life
 * That's all from me. Nothing to quibble on prose. Nice work as usual. Pseud 14 (talk) 17:34, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * - I added dates to both captions. I left "pictured" in the first as it wouldn't make grammatical sense otherwise...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:38, 1 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Support. Pseud 14 (talk) 17:44, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

NØ

 * Very minor nitpicky comment about the sentence "It was one of three of 1971's number ones to also top ...", would it be possible to avoid the repetition of "of" by using something like "It was one of three 1971 number ones", "It was one of 1971's three number ones" or "It was among three number ones in 1971"?--NØ 07:25, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Comments from HAL
That's all. ~ HAL  333  18:55, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Is "then returned to number one for one further week" grammatical without an 'and' before 'then'?
 * Done
 * Per WP:WOULDCHUCK: "'Groove Me' was Floyd's first number one but would prove to be" --> "'Groove Me' was Floyd's first number one but proved to be"
 * Done
 * Ditto "his 1971 number one would prove to be his only chart-topping single"
 * Done
 * Is it usual to link "the" in "the Persuaders, and the Chi-Lites". It looks a bit weird to me, but it is part of their names....
 * Done
 * On a completely different note, that lead image may be my favorite of any I've seen on your lists (so I won't complain about Marvin not getting his rightful share of the spotlight).
 * ''It's a great image, isn't it? I particularly like how the middle Pip is so joyfully getting down.  BTW for good measure I added an image of Marvin :-)
 * - thanks for your review! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:00, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Happy to support. ~ HAL  333  19:15, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Source review - BennyOnTheLoose

 * Sources are all appropriate and in line with other featured lists in the series.
 * Richie Unterberger could be wikilinked.
 * I think David Katz can be wikilinked to David Katz (author) but only if you're confident it's the same person.
 * I checked the sources for "regarded by many critics as one of the greatest albums of all time" and IMO they support that statement.
 * For the Rolling Stone link, this is more direct and would save readers having to navigate the RS list; but I think that the 2020 RS list, which has What's Going On as number one would be a better reference than the earlier list.
 * Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 23:00, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
 * - thanks - all done! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:06, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Support - I can't see anything else. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:40, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Is there a reason why this set of articles doesn't use  in the table heading? Other than that I see no issues with this article. Good job as always.

MrLinkinPark333 (verification check & other comments)

 * Jean Knight was number 1 only in July, not August.
 * Her last week at number 1 extended into August but I have reworded nonetheless -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:01, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Unterberger doesn't say (Do The) Push and Pull (Part 1) was Thomas's first number one, only that it was one of his songs to reach at least #5. Citation needed here.
 * The Whitburn ref at the end of the sentence covers this -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:01, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * In that case, could Whitburn 1988 be reused here? It currently looks like Unterberger is only covering that sentence as Whitburn 1988 is not cited until the following sentence. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 19:33, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * - done :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:41, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the quick fixes! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 19:46, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, I suggest rewording "commercial peak" as this copies the phrase used by Unterberger.
 * Done -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:01, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * 1971 Hot 100 doesn't specify it's an all-genre chart. This part should either be removed or additionally cited.
 * Done -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:20, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * June 5th was Want Ads, not Bridge Over Troubled Water
 * June 19th was Bridge Over Troubled Water, not Want Ads
 * Fixed above two, no idea what happened there -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:01, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Neither Hot Pants or Make It Funky specify they are Part 1 songs. (Part 1) should either be removed from each or have another source state it was a Part 1 song like Don't Knock My Love.
 * Also, Hot Pants is listed as Hot Pants (She Got To Use What She Got, To Get What She Want) --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 02:37, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Titles are now as per Whitburn (with appropriate ref), which matches what was printed in physical Billboard magazines at the time (per Google Books) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:27, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * - thanks, most fixed, will resolve the rest later -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:01, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * - now all done :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:27, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Left a question about (Do The) Push and Pull (Part 1). The rest has been resolved. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 19:34, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
