Comment - if Best-Selling Popular Record Albums or Billboard Best-Selling Popular Record Albums doesn't exist, why is this notable? The Rambling Man (talk) 19:14, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
 * These articles are not needed or could be redirected to the Billboard 200 page. The chart is mentioned here in the Billboard 200 article. The page was originally titled, List of Billboard number-one albums of 1945. As the first Billboard album chart, which incoporated all genres. This should be notable. Lirim  |  Talk  20:25, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I would have thought if notable, then redirects would be there, at the very least. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:11, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Created a redirect.-- Lirim  |  Talk 

Comments The Rambling Man (talk) 08:27, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * "Robert Wright " is piped to a redirect.
 * You use "topped" five times in the lead, can you mix it up a little for less repetitive prose?
 * " was certified gold " link "certified".
 * Is there any reason that "Original Cast" is thus capitalised in the table?
 * "18 weeks, by Capitol for 17 weeks and by RCA Victor for nine week" MOSNUM, 18/17/9 or eighteen/seventeen/nine.
 * "Bing Crosby (pictured in 1951) was the only artist with two albums atop the chart." do you mean the only "solo" artist?
 * Thank You.-- Lirim  |  Talk  10:04, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Grammar:
 * Comma needed after "Best-Selling Popular Record Albums" in the first sentence.
 * No comma after "three weeks" in paragraph two sentence two.
 * No comma after "Glenn Miller & His Orchestra" in paragraph two sentence five.

 *  Quick comment Support – Decca Records could use a link in the lead, unless there's one that I missed. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 21:12, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Done.-- Lirim  |  Talk  23:29, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

Sorry this has been up so long. Should have my support soon! – zmbro (talk) 03:05, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Comments from zmbro
 * Kinda picky but in one instance you write out "twelve" while everywhere else you use numbers for everything above 10. I'd say "12" for consistency
 * 9 should be spelled out per MOS:NUMS
 * The bottom 2 images seem a little big to me.
 * Thank you. The Rambling Man, critizied that the numbers all need the same format, so I didn't change it.-- Lirim  |  Talk  06:03, 30 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Support – Good for me. Great job to you! – zmbro (talk) 15:13, 30 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Source review – All of the references are reliable and well-formatted, and the link-checker tool shows no problems. Everything looks good on the sourcing front. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 21:17, 2 July 2019 (UTC)


 * I have found and fixed two redirects in the lead and see also section and also fixed missing dot. Whole table should be checked at an angle of redirects. Eurohunter (talk) 18:40, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I found one redirect in the table and removed it. Thank you.-- Lirim  |  Talk  01:31, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
