List of Billboard number-one country songs of 2017

 * Nominator(s): ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:24, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello again everyone. With 71 of the lists now promoted to FL, here's what I hope will be #72. We are definitely on the home stretch now :-) In this particular year, Sam Hunt broke the record for the longest run at number one on Hot Country Songs, but this record would only stand until the following year.  Fun fact: the same artist ended both Hunt's record run and the next record run..... ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:24, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Comments from Dank
 * Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
 * "Backstreet Boys, an extremely successful pop act since the 1990s": I'm not up to speed on FLC standards for promotional language in media articles. Consulting Backstreet Boys, I find that they "rose to superstardom". Yeah. This is pretty tame by comparison. I don't like it, but I'm behind the times.
 * The last artist column isn't sorting right ... Brett Eldredge, for instance.
 * FLC criteria:
 * 1. The prose is fine. The coding at the top of the table seems fine. I checked sorting and sampled (and fixed) 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.
 * 6. It is stable.
 * Support, since this is close enough to the finish line. Well done. - Dank (push to talk) 13:25, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Fixed the bad sorting and toned down the description of BSB.... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:57, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Support from Aoba47
This is my only comment for this list. Wonderful work as always and once this very nitpick-y comment is addressed, I will be more than happy to support this for promotion. I hope you are doing well. Just out of curiosity, how many more Billboard number-one country songs are left for you now? Aoba47 (talk) 03:02, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * This is a super nitpick-y comment so apologies in advance. For this part, and subsequently guested on "What Ifs", I am uncertain about the "guested" word choice as it is honestly not something I see when discussing music. I would instead use "featured" (in a way that fits this part, of course) as I think that is the wordage more often used for this kind of thing.
 * - made that change. There's five more to go after this one to complete the run from 1944-2020.  Assuming those are all successful (and 2021 as well, if it takes long enough for those five to pass that we are nearly at the end of the year), I then plan to nominate List of Billboard number-one country songs, and assuming that is successful then nominate the whole lot at WP:FTC.  And then I guess I need to find a new project...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:16, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Great work with this list as always. I support it for promotion and best luck with the remaining lists! Aoba47 (talk) 16:37, 2 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Support I tried but couldn't find anything. Solid work. ~ HAL  333  16:52, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Source review – Pass
Doing now. Aza24 (talk) 22:22, 16 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Formatting
 * Billboard linking is inconsistent, e.g. links are on refs 10, 11 and 17 but not 18–120 or 4
 * - should all be linked now -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:21, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
