 * Nominator(s):  Lirim  |  Talk  20:56, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

I reworked this list nearly two years ago. The lists for 1945/46 have already been promoted. Thank you very much for all your comments.  Lirim  |  Talk  20:56, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Comments
 * Link "chart".
 * Done.
 * I would say somewhere that this chart has evolved into (as of 2020) the Billboard 200 so it gives non-experts some context for the historical legacy.
 * Rewrote the section.
 * Also may be worth saying when this chart started.
 * Not really relevant for the list
 * I disagree, it's useful for our readers to know if this was like the first one or the 41st such list of its type. No harm in adding a sentence to say when the chart was initiated. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 10:45, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

 * "was based on a "weekly survey among 4,020 dealers in all sections of the country."[1]" this appears to be correct for that specific issue, e.g. I took a look at the June 28 edition which takes account of 4,970 dealers.
 * Clarified via a note.
 * " to top the chart." I would add " in 1947."
 * Done.
 * "bringing the total amount the album topped the chart to 14 across three years." -> meaning the album topped the charts for 14 weeks over three years.
 * Done.
 * "atop, bringing his total weeks spent atop " atop atop repetitive.
 * Done.
 * Why isn't Glenn Miller linked in Jan 18/25 entry in the table?
 * Done.
 * Similar for "& His Orchestra".
 * Done.
 * I think the row scope should be the album, not the date of the chart.
 * row scope on the first column is the standard for chart lists
 * That's not true. Just check out the nomination beside your one!!! (List of Billboard Latin Pop Airplay number ones of 1994 and 1995) The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 10:43, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Refs 1, 3 and 6 through 66, it should be  and.

Some thoughts -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 23:14, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The lead feels a bit bare at 300 words/1998 bytes
 * The lead should ideally use more than 3 non-billboard chart sources
 * The links to the scans at https://worldradiohistory.com/ need to go due to copyright problems

That's all. ~ HAL  333  23:40, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * Why are the lines in the captions (pictured in 19...) italicized?
 * Could you archive the sources?
 * It would be better if the scope was placed on the album rather than the issue date.
 * ,, ; I would like this to be closed early, I really don't have enough time to change all the sources right now or in the nearest future. Thank you. Lirim  |  Talk  16:06, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
