List of Billboard Social 50 number-one artists

 * Nominator(s):  — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 19:22, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

The Billboard Social 50 is a popularity chart that ranks the most active musical acts on the world's leading social networking services. Its data, published by Billboard magazine and compiled by Next Big Sound, is based collectively on each act's weekly additions of friends, fans and followers, along with artist website views and song plays.  — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 19:22, 12 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * an "important response" to "our changing times" - I'd change this to simply an "important response [to] our changing times", looks cleaner
 * in November 2012 was later expanded - the word "later" is redundant here
 * The first act to reach number-one - shouldn't be a hyphen in "number-one"
 * It addition, he also - firstly, spot the typo, and secondly, you don't need to state both "in addition" and "also", as they mean the same thing
 * Think that's it..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:38, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Done everything, but I'm unsure about the whole hyphen in "number-one" thing. I see it written as both "number one" and "number-one", the former often being used for the title.  — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 22:20, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll let people weigh in about how they think it should be, as it effects the whole article, really.  — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 22:27, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * "Number one" should take a hyphen when used as an adjective (eg "the number-one song" but not when used as a noun (eg "he reached number one") -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:45, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * OH! Alright, that makes sense! Changed.  — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 18:06, 13 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Fresh comment :-)
 * Just noticed another one - you can't start a sentence with "five of which". Either combine it with the previous sentence or change it to "five of these"/"five of these artists" -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:46, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I had five of the acts before (why you didn't notice anything wrong), and Hahc below told me to change it to which. I've corrected it now.  — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 16:19, 15 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Support - all seems good now -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:36, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Comments The Rambling Man (talk) 20:15, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * "posthumously" is a dab link.
 * Ref col doesn't need to be sortable.
 * The "mid-table headings" shouldn't sort.
 * "scope="row"| Selena Gomez" fix that.
 * And "scope="row"| Justin Bieber"
 * "Reached number-one" doesn't sort correctly.
 * Nor does consecutive weeks. (I guess these are both a result of that "mid-table heading" rowspan naughtiness.
 * Do you really need those four see also's since you have a template which links to the appropriate "social" pages?
 * I believe all the issues have been addressed. Except: There's nothing to actually be done about the mid-table headings. I saw in several other featured lists that they also go like that. And as for the template, all of the articles in there were merged to this article, and the template is currently at TfD. It's going to be deleted, so I'll just remove it now.  — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 02:43, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Well the moving mid-table headings should either stay static or be removed altogether. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:33, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Alright, I have removed them.  — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 14:56, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Support (with final comments) This list has improved considerably over the last week, and now meets the criteria by my estimation. Just a few final points: Great work! A Thousand Doors (talk &#124; contribs) 00:55, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Might be worth centring the citations in the Ref. column.
 * Make it clear in the image caption that Adele and Lady Gaga have spent 11 weeks at number one each.
 * Current Billboard Social 50 chart --> Social 50 at Billboard
 * Done. Thank you very much!  — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs )


 * As for the references, I understand what you mean, but as you say yourself, there's only a few non-Billboard reports. I think it is best to keep it consistent. And additionally, most chart lists use the same references. And as for the lead, I'd normally agree, but since this is a list of every act that has hit number one, it will be updated weekly, which will cause some things in the lead to change. At the moment, the lead covers the most important things about the chart as of today.  — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 14:13, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * You are right that most chart lists just use the same source provider, but the ones that are featured lists are based on charts that have (or should have) coverage in third-party sources. These references shoud be added to this list or the article for Billboard Social 50 (although the two in terms of their leads aren't much different as they stand right now). -- Star cheers  peaks  news  lost  wars Talk to me
 * That's not accurate. There is no difference between the non-FL status chart lists and the FL-status chart lists except for the fact that they went through the the FLC process. All the references are the same. I'd like you to show me a featured article that replies fully on third-party sources, please. As for the Billboard Social 50 article, I'm not sure what this has to do with this FLC?  — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 21:18, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I mention the Social 50 article because it has no third-party sources which give an indication to this chart's notability much less any significance of being number one on this chart. If the chart itself isn't notable (I'm not saying it isn't, it's just lacking the coverage to say that it is), what makes being number one on this chart notable? According to criteria 3 for featured lists, the list must meet all of the requirements for stand-alone lists including notability requirements. Per WP:NOTESAL, "a list topic is considered notable if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". What evidence is there that anyone cares who is number one on the Social 50? That's what is keeping this from being a featured list in my eyes. There seemed to be a lot of coverage when the chart was introduced and Rihanna being the first to top it, so incorporate some of those and you'll have something. Otherwise, the list is very well done and laid out and far superior to what existed before. -- Star cheers  peaks  news  lost  wars Talk to me 00:38, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I've added additional sources to the lead of the article.  — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 00:52, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Support I'm satisfied, so I'll leave it to those who know better to give this a final endorsement. -- Star cheers  peaks  news  lost  wars Talk to me 18:59, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks Starcheer!  — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 02:24, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
