List of Harlem Hit Parade number ones of 1944

 * Nominator(s): ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:28, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Here's the third nomination for a list of number ones on what Billboard considers to be the earliest iteration of its R&B chart. Interestingly, in this year the magazine launched what it considers to be the earliest iteration of its country chart, and two songs were both "R&B" and "country" number ones......75 years before "Old Town Road"! :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:28, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

 * For this part, an area noted for its African American population which has been called the "black capital of America", I would replace "which" with "and". I believe that "which" makes it sound like the population is being called this rather than the district.
 * Would it be beneficial to link Rhythm and blues in this part, the lineage of the magazine's multimetric R&B chart? Other genres are linked in the second and third paragraphs.
 * Shouldn't this part, which since 2005 has been published under the title Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs, have a citation?

My comments are relatively minor. Once everything has been addressed, I will be more than happy to support this FLC for promotion. Just out of curiosity, are you planning on bringing all the lists of Billboard number-one rhythm and blues hits through the FLC process as you have done for all the lists of Billboard number-one country songs?

 * - all the above resolved. As for trying to get another 75+ articles to FLC........hmmmmmm, not sure.  Let's wait and see :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:01, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * That kind of project would be a lot of a lot for sure lol. Everything looks good to me. I support this FLC for promotion. Best of luck with this nomination! Aoba47 (talk) 23:45, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Comments from Dank

 * Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
 * "Cow-Cow Boogie (Cuma-Ti-Yi-Yi-Ay)" redirects to Cow-Cow Boogie.
 * Checking the FLC criteria:
 * 1. I couldn't find anything to fiddle with in the prose. 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 actual 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. - Dank (push to talk) 21:11, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Source review passed; fewer reviews than normal, but at this point this is a list factory so I'll let it keep chugging along and promote. -- Pres N  02:42, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
