List of Billboard number-one R&B songs of 1954

 * Nominator(s): ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:27, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi everyone, here's my 13th nomination of a number ones list from the pre-history of Billboard's R&B/hip-hop chart. One of the most notable number ones in this year was Big Joe Turner's "Shake Rattle and Roll", which when covered by Bill Haley would be one of the most influential songs in the early development of rock and roll..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:27, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Comments from BennyOnTheLoose
Looks good. All the info without inline citations from the intro is cited in the table as far as I can see. A couple of points that I made on the 1953 list ("pictured in" in captions, and use of IABot) have been covered off by edits earlier this week.
 * "Clyde McPhatter led the Drifters to two number ones in 1954." - They had two on the best-sellers and one on the Juke Box chart, so maybe reword? It was two songs though.
 * - thanks for that, I have adjusted the McPhatter image caption accordingly -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:25, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Support - I have nothing else on this one. Thanks! Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 09:50, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Comments from Pseud 14

 * Great work on this series (as always). One very minor suggestion, perhaps you could link "1945 show tune" to Carousel (musical), since the name of the musical show isn't mentioned. --Pseud 14 (talk) 21:08, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
 * This is so easy, I feel a little guilty. But I guess it's supposed to get easier over time!
 * Checking the FLC criteria:
 * 1. I've done a little copyediting; feel free to revert or discuss. I checked sorting on all sortable columns and sampled the links in the table.
 * 2. The lead meets WP:LEAD and defines the inclusion criteria.
 * 3a. The list has comprehensive items and annotations.
 * 3b. The list is well-sourced to reliable sources, and the UPSD tool isn't indicating any actual problems (but this isn't a source review). All relevant retrieval dates are present.
 * 3c. The list meets requirements as a stand-alone list, it isn't a content fork, it doesn't largely duplicate another article (that I can find), and it wouldn't fit easily inside another article.
 * 4. It is navigable.
 * 5. It meets style requirements. At a glance, the images seem fine.
 * 6. It is stable.
 * Support. Well done. - Dank (push to talk) 01:35, 18 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Source review – All of the references are to reliable sources. I have one minor formatting issue: the ISBNs are inconsistently formatted. The MoS calls for the longer 13-digit versions (I see 10 digits for at least one), and some of the hyphenation comes and goes. The book list could use a tweak or two.

 * - done! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:32, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
 * That should take care of the source review, as I don't see any other issues. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 21:07, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
