List of Billboard number-one country songs of 1957

 * Nominator(s): ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:17, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi everyone, we're nearly there now you will be pleased to hear - with 74 of these number-one country songs lists promoted to FL and one nearly there, here's the penultimate one to be nominated (until this year ends and I need to work on the one for 2021.....). In this year, acts reaching number one included such legends as the Everly Brothers and Elvis - back in 1957, Billboard considered the early rock and roll/rockabilly sound to be a hybrid of country music and rhythm and blues, and so classics like "Jailhouse Rock" were big hits on both the country and R&B charts. Anyway, as ever I look forward to your feedback, which will be acted on as quickly as humanly possible..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:17, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Source review Pass

 * Version reviewed 1


 * Formatting
 * Ref#1 format the ISBN number using this tool.
 * In fact, do the same for all ISBN numbers.
 * Joel Whitburn is linked in Ref#2 and 7, but not in Ref#1, 3 ,and 6
 * Is the John Bush of Ref#4 this John Bush? If so, you might want to link it.
 * Same goes with Stephen L. Betts
 * Ref#9 lacks author (Richard Buskin), and date (June 2011)
 * Ref#12 to Ref#62 Everything seems fine ...


 * Reliability
 * No issues. Most of the citations are from Billboard, appropriate for these type of lists.

 * Verifiability
 * Suggesting to archive all sources; whenever you can ....
 * - actioned. I can find no evidence that Stephen Betts is the same person as the person who writes for AllMusic, so I have not linked him.  Same with John Bush -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:56, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Fine then. Pass for source review. Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 09:02, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Comments from TRM
As always, nice work. You should be able to get one of these past me with zero comments by now but ....... That's it. Please make sure to ping me when you get round to the topic nomination! Cheers. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 20:21, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * "charts would merge" why passive voice?
 * "form a multimetric chart" whaaaaat?
 * "At the start of the year" as we've talked about other years, maybe "At the start of 1957...
 * "topped all three charts and was in the top" topped/top
 * "country number ones during the year; he reached number one" repetitive.
 * Here's a curious one. You have a "jockeys" chart and I assume that's what's meant by "airplay-based listing" but for non-experts, there's no connection between what a "jockeys" chart is and the fact they are DJs putting songs on rotation...
 * "topped the pop singles charts" which charts were those?
 * "than 20 number ones to his name" to his name isn't needed.
 * "and returned to the top spot" returned to number one (to avoid three "top" in that sentence).
 * "Marty Robbins had the final number one on the juke box chart." with??
 * Ref 2, en-dash in year range.
 * - all of the above done -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:49, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Support happy with my comments being addressed. And thanks for the table inspiration.  EXACTLY what I was looking for! The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 21:03, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Comments from Dank
 * Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
 * A table caption is required, with or without an sronly template, so I added one.
 * I say below that UPSD isn't picking up any problems, and that's true, nothing that I consider a problem ... but for the first time that I can recall, it's labeling Billboard in yellow (meaning "some bad, some good, it depends").
 * Checking the FLC criteria:
 * 1. The prose is fine; no edits from me. The table coding seems fine. 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 article is well-sourced to reliable sources, and the UPSD tool isn't indicating any problems (but see above). 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) 22:32, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * - thanks once again for taking the time to review one of my lists! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:43, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, you're doing most of the work :) Is this going to be a featured topic? - Dank (push to talk) 15:31, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I hope so! See User:ChrisTheDude/sandbox..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:38, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Comments from Ojorojo

Another well-done list, but I have a couple of questions: —Ojorojo (talk) 14:01, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I haven't used Ref label (I use efn instead), but shouldn't a header, such as "Notes", appear before the list of notes?
 * "Ref." in the last table column often uses Ref., but not here. Oversight or ?
 * - both amended -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:09, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * That answers my concerns. Support —Ojorojo (talk) 14:23, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
