List of Billboard number-one rap songs of the 2010s

 * Nominator(s): Holiday56 (talk) 02:10, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because having worked on it extensively for the past few months, I believe it meets the featured list criteria. This is the second nomination in a series of three articles on Rap Songs number-ones, following a previous successful FLC. Holiday56 (talk) 02:10, 12 June 2014 (UTC)


 * One point I raised 12 days ago still hasn't been resolved, but it was only a small thing so I fixed it myself and now support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:42, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Comment There is inconsistency in the titling of the three lists ("singles" is used in the 1980s/1990s and 2000s lists, while "songs" is used in the 2010s list). Is this intentional? --Philpill691 (talk) 00:49, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's intentional. This particular page was moved to reflect the chart changes which took effect in 2012 – prior to that this chart was based solely on sales (and in the 2000s, airplay) of rap singles, but with the new changes incorporating digital download sales, streaming, etc. it's possible for album tracks to chart without being released as singles.

 * Similar decade lists (e.g. here or here) include tables indicating which artists/songs have been at number one for the longest – could similar stats be included here?
 * I considered adding data tables for the most number-ones in initial drafts of the article, but in the end I figure that the sortable function in the main table, not to mention the fact that this stuff is covered in the main Hot Rap Songs article, would make such a table redundant – it also breaks consistency with the other rap number-ones articles. Holiday56 (talk) 20:12, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
 * That's the sort of information that I'd expect to see in this article though. It may well be available in the main Hot Rap Songs article, but, per WP:Summary style, it should probably be here as well. If one of our readers comes to this article to find out which artist has spent the most time at number one, they're not going to want to have to add up a bunch of numbers just to find that information out.

 * I've added a sentence in the lead which mentions counts for the top five artists with regards to longest time spent at number one; I'm still somewhat skeptical as to whether an entire section is necessary, but if another user chimes in and feels that he'd like to see a whole table I'll gladly concede. Holiday56 (talk) 04:06, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
 * There are no other issues that I can see, but I would like to hear another editor's opinion on the table issue before I support. For reference, of the 15 featured lists of music charts for specific decades, five of them don't have a dedicated section for these sorts of stats (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), while the other ten do (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10). Not that this necessarily indicates consensus, of course. A Thousand Doors (talk &#124; contribs) 15:21, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Suppport with comments- 1) I don't think you need an additional table for how long each artist has been on the chart; listing the top 5 is fine by me. 2) There doesn't seem to be a mention in the lead of which song has spent the longest on the chart ("Fancy"), in addition to which artists. 3) Redirects: streaming data, BedRock, Nielsen Business Media (in refs) 4) Archive links and deadurl=no? Be still my heart! That said: 5) You abruptly switch from cite web to cite journal for Billboard; pick one. -- Pres N  19:23, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I think I've addressed these comments now – thanks for the support! Holiday56 (talk) 10:38, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
