List of Billboard number-one country songs of 2013

 * Nominator(s): ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:32, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi once again everyone. With 70 of these lists successfully promoted to FL, here's the next in the series. In this particular year, a song broke a record which had stood for nearly 65 years for the longest-running number one in the history of Billboard's country song charts....even though it was being played so little on country music radio that it didn't appear in the country airplay chart at all. Hmmm, bizarre...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:32, 18 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Support I tried, but you have this down to a tee. ~ HAL  333  19:53, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Support Comments from Aoba47

 * I would revise this part, a remix featuring a guest appearance by the rapper Nelly, to something like this,, as the current wording seems unnecessarily wordy to me.
 * I would link country radio since there is a separate article for that. That article is not in the best shape, but I still think is useful link (and hopefully, that article will be improved upon one day as I do find the discourse around country radio to be fascinating).
 * I have a question about this part, an emerging sub-genre. I have also see it as "subgenre" without the hyphenated. Is it common to hyphenate this word? To be clear, I am not saying this is wrong, but it is not how I normally see this word represented.
 * This is not required for the FLC, but I would encourage you to archive all the citations as this will save you a big headache later.

Wonderful job with this list as always. I have super minor notes, and once everything is addressed, I will be more than happy to support this for promotion. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to these lists. Have a great weekend! Aoba47 (talk) 20:48, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
 * - all done apart from the archiving. I am sure there is a relatively quick and easy way to do that but I can't remember what it is, can you advise? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:07, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * You can easily archive all the citations on a single page with the IABot. Thank you for addressing everything. I support the list for promotion. Aoba47 (talk) 16:27, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * - many thanks for your support. You have been kind enough in the past to do source reviews of some of my noms, wondered if you might have the time to give this one the quick once over?  Thanks in advance if you do :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:23, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Source review

 * I do not see any major issues with the citations' formatting. I know some editors have differing opinions on this (and that is perfectly okay), but I appreciate how items are linked in each individual citation as I find that to be the most helpful.
 * I would recommend that you link the writers in the citations if they have a Wikipedia article. So I would link James C. McKinley Jr., Joel Whitburn, and Jody Rosen. Those articles may not be in the best shape, but I still think links would be helpful. I am not sure if it is completely required for a FLC, but I wait to support until you do that. This is a very easy fix so it should hopefully not be too much of an issue.
 * All the sources are reliable and appropriate for a featured list. I would encourage you to archive your sources to avoid any future headaches, but that is not a requirement right now.
 * I did a spot check and the information appears to be supported by the citations.

I have just one quick request and I will pass this source review. Wonderful job as always with these. Your work on all of these lists is nothing short of incredible. Aoba47 (talk) 18:43, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * - done. And your comments are very kind -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:49, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the very prompt response. This passes my source review. Aoba47 (talk) 20:51, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Comments from Dank
 * Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
 * Not a big deal, but I do this for my own lists so I'll do it for yours: when I have a question on sorting, I try for consistency with the DEFAULTSORT listed in the edit screen at the end of the relevant articles. Eli Young Band has, and The Only Way I Know has . You're sorting these under Y and T. Just a thought.
 * FLC criteria:
 * 1. The prose is fine. I've done a little copyediting; feel free to revert or discuss. The coding at the top of the table seems fine. I checked sorting on all columns and all the song 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 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, and they add a lot to the list.
 * 6. It is stable.
 * Close enough for a support. Well done. - Dank (push to talk) 19:50, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
