List of Billboard Tropical Airplay number ones of 1994 and 1995

 * Nominator(s): Erick (talk) 23:08, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Since my FLC for List of Billboard Latin Pop Airplay number ones of 1996 has gotten enough supports and has been open for over a month with no opposes, I am switching over to the more upbeat Tropical Airplay #1's. Like my successful nomination for List of Billboard Latin Pop Airplay number ones of 1994 and 1995, this list is based on 's work on the #1 country songs in the US. I am nominating this list for WP:WIKICUP as well. As always, looking forward to the comments! Erick (talk) 23:08, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * "Five different songs topped the chart in 1994 while 12 different" => "Five different songs topped the chart in 1994 and 12 different"
 * "BDS ran tests charts" => "BDS ran test charts"
 * "where it remained on the top stop for three weeks" => "which remained in the top spot for three weeks"
 * "most songs at number one in 1995s" => "most songs at number one in 1995"
 * ""Nadie Como Ella" was the final numberone track of 1995" => ""Nadie Como Ella" was the final number one track of 1995"
 * If you sort on the artist name, Luis Enrique's two number ones are not together, so the sort key is wrong on one
 * Think that's it from me - great work overall! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:20, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the comments, I've addressed and thanks as always for the inspiration! Erick (talk) 14:06, 2 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Support - it's extremely kind of you to refer to me as being inspiring -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:16, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * "Nadie Como Ella" was the final number one track of 1995" Cuban pianist... – there seems to be a typo in here, judging from the unpaired quotation mark and sudden transition between sentences
 * Link "Estamos Solos" in lead
 * Should source 10 be the chart history for Edgar Joel, similar to how source 11 is the chart history for Johnny Rivera?
 * Should Edgar Joel sort by J instead of E in the table?
 * Thanks for noticing those errors of mine that I somehow overlooked. For source 10, unfortunately Billboard's website doesn't seem to have a chart history page for every artist like they used to. The chart history page for Edgar Joel doesn't exist anymore and wasn't able to find an archive for it. Readers can verify that it is the his only #1 song if they go through every week on the database. Erick (talk) 03:59, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. It's not ideal, but given the circumstances it works well enough. Nice work! RunningTiger123 (talk) 04:11, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Source review – Pass
Doing now. Aza24 (talk) 01:35, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Version reviewed:

All consistent from what I can see.
 * Formatting


 * Reliability
 * Hmmm ref 6 (Gozamos) is not looking particularly reliable. Seems self published, and the fact that the site is an online magazine only and a wordpress website aren't good signs. I would suggest switching out the source or removing (the latter, only if the information is sourced by something else already of course)


 * Verifiability
 * Checked 2, 10, 11, 14, 35 & 68, all seem fine. Aza24 (talk) 01:44, 11 May 2021 (UTC)


 * , I replaced "Gozamas" with an article from Rolling Stone. Erick (talk) 03:15, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Looks great — pass for source review. Aza24 (talk) 03:24, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Comments from Aoba47
Great work with the list. One of these days, I really should work on a Billboard list as I do get inspired by all the FLCs and it has been a while since I have done one. Once all of my comments are addressed, I will support this (and hopefully that will be enough to get it promoted). If possible, I would greatly appreciate any help with my current FAC, but it is okay if you do not have the time or interest. Have a great start to your week! Aoba47 (talk) 00:51, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't the tropical music link be in this earlier part, a chart that ranks the top-performing songs played on tropical radio stations, of the lead since this technically refers to it first?
 * I think it would be useful to add more context to this sentence: According to Billboard, tropical music is the "sound of the Spanish-speaking Caribbean". I would note the year that this article was published as I think it is notable since Billboardput this definition out when this chart was still new (likely to introduce it to unfamiliar readers, but that's just speculation on my part).
 * I have one more comment about the quote that I discussed above. The Billboard source mentions that the tropical sound extends outside of the Spanish-speaking Caribbean and lists some examples of this. I believe that would be worthy of mentioning in the prose.
 * For this sentence, Both acts were the only acts to have more than one chart-topper in 1994., I would avoid repeating the word "acts".
 * I have a clarification question about using the Luis Enrique image in the lead. Why lead the article with Enrique? I would think either La India or Marc Anthony would be more notable for the lead since La India was the first woman to top the chart and she had two separate songs reach that position and Anthony since he had the most number-ones. I do not think it really matters and it is more up to personal preference. Even if the Enrique image stays where it is, I would still think La India should have an image in here since one is available.
 * Thanks for the comments! For the genres, the only genre listed being outside of the Spanish-speaking Caribbean was tropical music in Meixco. So what I did was added examples of genres that typically fall under the tropical music field with an added source from Billboard. The 1985 article in question is for the Tropical Albums chart, which debuted on that year, but their scope of Tropical music is still the same as the Tropical Airplay chart. Glad you brought up and La India and here's why. There previously wasn't an image of her that I could find under creative commons until I convinced a photographer on Flickr to change the photo's license (go me!). Which reminds me, I have to go back and thank the photographer for their contribution! Erick (talk) 15:23, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the responses. Awesome work with getting the La India image. Everything looks good to me and I support this for promotion. Aoba47 (talk) 16:30, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
