List of Hot 100 number-one singles of 2006 (U.S.)

 * Nominator(s): Efe (talk)

I am nominating this for featured list because it has been peer reviewed and I feel it now meets the criteria. Regards, Efe (talk) 15:35, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Comments from 
 * Lead
 * In 2006, 18 acts achieved their first U.S. number-one single, either as a lead artist or featured guest, including, James Blunt, Ne-Yo, Daniel Powter, Rihanna, Shakira, Taylor Hicks, Nelly Furtado, Timbaland, Fergie, Justin Timberlake, T.I., and Akon. -- (1)Remove the comma after including (2)Akon should be listed first
 * Done. --Efe (talk) 17:27, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Knowles' "Irreplaceable" is the longest-running single of 2006, beginning its run atop the chart for 10 consecutive weeks in late December. -- It should be clarified that her run extended to 2007, no?
 * Added. --Efe (talk) 17:27, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Other singles with extended chart run include Timberlake's "SexyBack",[7] which stayed at number one for seven straight weeks, and Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous" for six weeks. -- chart run should be "chart runs"
 * Added s. --Efe (talk) 17:27, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Knowles "Check on It" and pop singer Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" both topped the chart for five weeks. -- Add an apostrophe after Knowles' name.
 * Added apostrophe. --Efe (talk) 17:27, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Powter's "Bad Day" is the best-performing single this year, topping the Billboard Top Hot 100 Hits of 2006. -- What makes it in the best performing single this year in terms of this chart?
 * Same as my comment below. --Efe (talk) 17:22, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * In 2006, Powter and Furtado were the only Canadian recording acts to have reached the summit to the chart -- Do you mean "of the chart"?
 * Oops. Fixed. --Efe (talk) 17:22, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Images
 * Decreased the size of the Beyonce image, it runs over the lead limit (section).
 * "*Images should not be forced, per MoS, but I used "upright" so that it will fit in any screen resolution. Mine is fine, though. --Efe (talk) 17:15, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Decrease some of the sizes of the rest of the images because the Shakira image runs over its section limits.
 * "*Same as above. --Efe (talk) 17:15, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Singer Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" is the best-performing single of this year, topping the Billboard Top Hot 100 Hits of 2006. -- What makes it the best single in terms of this chart?
 * "*Because Hot 100 is determined by combining digital and physical sales, and airplay. So cannot just say best-selling or well-played. --Efe (talk) 17:09, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well that should be made aware in the text, in a similar location like I mentioned above in the lead section. Images are fine now.-- ₮RU  CӨ   17:22, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I think its too much/detailed for a list article, IMO. --Efe (talk) 17:28, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Then that (those) statement(s) should be removed or reworded because its questionable as to how they are the best in terms of this chart and its relevancy to this chart article.-- ₮RU  CӨ   17:35, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you have a suggestion how to phrase it? Because almost all article use that, without any further ado. Just say its the best-performing single, topping the year-end chart, topping the Top Hot 100, etc. --Efe (talk) 17:39, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not really a fan of it, but if other FLs use it, than its fine by me.-- ₮RU  CӨ   20:12, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * See also
 * Remove Top Hot 100 Hits of 2006, its already linked and mentioned more than once in the text.-- ₮RU  CӨ   16:53, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Only used one in the lead, once in the caption. --Efe (talk) 17:15, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Per SEEALSO, its generally not correct since its already linked, but its more based on editorial judgment, so if you want to keep it, fine by me.-- ₮RU  CӨ   17:22, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll remove Powter's image. --Efe (talk) 17:28, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Support -- Previous issues resolved to meet WP:WIAFL standards.-- ₮RU  CӨ   20:12, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support: Looks good. Well done! -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 23:03, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * "Knowles' "Irreplaceable" is the longest-running single of 2006...."Irreplaceable" became...." - why the jump in tense? "Bad Day" is also referred to in the present tense - is it really appropriate to state that something "is" the most successful thing of the year when the year was three years ago?  Maybe it's variant American usage, but to my British eyes it reads very oddly.  It would be like saying "Otho is the shortest-reigning Roman emperor of AD 69"..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Its really odd English in music articles. I am using "is" because the single remains the longest-running single of 2006. It does not change. That's how I understand grammar, unless I missed some. --Efe (talk) 10:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I understand what you're saying, but it still reads strangely to me. I've noticed similar usage in other US articles, though, so I guess it must be an ENGVAR issue and therefore acceptable.  So I guess I support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:38, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, really strange. This style has attracted attention from those who have better grasp in English. Anyway, thanks for the support. --Efe (talk) 10:48, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 12:25, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
