List of Gaon Digital Chart number ones of 2010

 * Nominator(s): ℯ  xplicit  02:07, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets the FL criteria, and should be promoted as such. 2010 marked the first year of South Korea's national singles chart Gaon Digital Chart. The article is structured more-or-less like the FL List of Gaon Album Chart number ones of 2011, the 2011 album counterpart. I look forward to the forthcoming comments and improvements. ℯ xplicit  02:07, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Compared to the other FL which deals with Gaon charts (List of Gaon Album Chart number ones of 2011) has a larger lead, and talks about sales figures so that could be included here.
 * "Upon its inception," this appears to be unnecessary given you go on to say "became the first song to top the Digital Chart"


 * I added some year-end statistics in the second paragraph. For what it's worth, the lead currently has 255 words to the 278 in List of Gaon Album Chart number ones of 2011. ℯ  xplicit  02:41, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Comments
 * "The Gaon Digital Chart is a chart that ranks the best-performing singles of South Korea" => "The Gaon Digital Chart is a chart that ranks the best-performing singles in South Korea" (the former could be taken as meaning that the charts ranks the best performing singles by South Korean artists anywhere in the world
 * Done. ℯ  xplicit  14:48, 25 August 2017 (UTC)


 * "With the creation of the Gaon Digital Chart, it became the first time in South Korea's history for digital data for individual songs to be provided" => "With the creation of the Gaon Digital Chart, digital data for individual songs was provided for the first time"
 * Done, with addition of 'in the country' in the sentence in order not make it sound like it happened for the first time in any music market. ℯ  xplicit  14:48, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Some confusion: this article says the Gaon Music Chart was introduced in February 2010. The Gaon Digital Chart article says it started tracking sales in April 2010, so that contradicts the February date.  And this article has number ones listed from January, which contradicts both?!?!?!?!
 * After looking at the edit history of Gaon Digital Chart, it appears that the article was originally created for the BGM Chart (Background Music Chart), which did start tracking sales on April 11, 2010 . The page was hi-jacked two months later by an IP editor (who seems to have registered as some hours later to complete the job) and it became the Gaon Digital Chart article, but the April date remained. I've changed the information in that article accordingly.
 * After some digging, I found that the chart was introduced in February 2010, but the data started being tracked in 2009, which is why the chart begins in January. I've added this tidbit to the list article (and will add it to the Gaon Digital Chart article at a later time, as there is more background information to it). ℯ  xplicit  14:48, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
 * So the chart was only launched in February but they retrospectively published weekly charts for the earlier portion of the year? I have to confess I am still confused as to the exact situation...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:06, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, basically, yes? The chart was publicly launched in a ceremony on February 23, 2010, and the number-one singles from the first seven weeks (December 27, 2009 – February 13, 2010) were concurrently published. I have yet to come across an article which specifically states the first few weeks' of the chart were simultaneously published. There are only separate articles for each act that peaked at number one, which are all dated February 23, 2010, which is the day Gaon Digital Chart was launched (Gain and Jo Kwon, 2AM, Girls' Generation, 2NE1). ℯ  xplicit  02:35, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I can't read those, but I will AGF on the quetion of the charts for weeks prior to February and give my support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:54, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
