List of Billboard number-one country songs of 1952

 * Nominator(s): ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:25, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

With 62 of these lists now at WP:FL, here's my next nomination, covering the year 1952. In this year, one of the most famous answer songs in country history became the first million-seller in the genre for a female artist and Hank Williams ended the year at number one; he would die in the back seat of his car just hours later. As ever, any comments will be responded to in as timely a manner as I can manage. Thanks! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:25, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Support – I made a few changes to the grammar, but other than that, it all looks really good. RunningTiger123 (talk) 23:28, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Comments from Dank
 * Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
 * AFAICT, table captions are accepted practice at FLC now, because of the recent-ish RfC, so I added one. Let me know if that's wrong.
 * FLC criteria:
 * 1. The prose is fine. I've done some trivial copyediting and avoided some redirects in the table; feel free to revert or discuss. The coding in the table seems fine.
 * 2. The lead meets WP:LEAD and defines the inclusion criteria.
 * 3a. The list has comprehensive items and annotations.
 * 3b. The article is well-sourced to reliable sources, and the UPSD tool isn't indicating any 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. You make excellent use of images (but that's about all I'm qualified to say).
 * 6. It is stable.
 * Support. Well done. - Dank (push to talk) 17:09, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Just struck me it might be applicable to link juke box as several "younger" members of our audience may not even know what that is...
 * Carl Smith (musician) is piped to a redirect.
 * Ref 6 needs a spaced en-dash.
 * Ref 6 also has a publication year of 2003.
 * "best sellers charts" as this isn't the name and now the description, shouldn't it be "best-sellers charts"?
 * "McDonald's version of..." that sentence uses "song" three times and reads repetitively for me.
 * "achieved in ... and he achieved ..." repetitive again.
 * In see also, I think "1952 in music" is a stretch too general, 1952 in country music seems the appropriate level.
 * Ref 43, it's more pp. 96, 100 than the range isn't it?
 * - all addressed, hopefully to your satisfaction :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:56, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
