List of Hot 100 number-one singles of 2007 (U.S.)

 * Nominator(s): Efe (talk)

I am nominating this for featured list because it has been peer reviewed and I think it meets the criteria. Thanks, Efe (talk) 13:51, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - I participated in the article's peer review, and believe it to be of FL standards. -Whataworld06 (talk) 19:44, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Comments from 
 * Title


 * I think its redundant to have (U.S.) in the title if the Hot 100 is only produced in the U.S.
 * We also have List of Hot 100 number-one singles of 2009 (Canada). --Efe (talk) 09:02, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Lead
 * Oh thanks for clarifying that for me.-- <  TRU CO  >   5 0 3 15:17, 14 February 2009 (UTC)


 * In 2007, seven acts achieved their first US number-one single, either as a lead artist or featured guest: Mims, Maroon 5, T-Pain, Young Joc, Plain White T's, Sean Kingston, Soulja Boy Tell 'Em.  | the names should be organized in some order (alphabetical at least)
 * Arranged. --Efe (talk) 09:02, 14 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Three number-one singles tied for the longest run on the chart this year: Knowles' "Irreplaceable", Rihanna's "Umbrella", and Soulja Boy Tell 'Em "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" all topped the chart for seven weeks, the last of these was non-consecutive. | 1)Add an apostrophe with an S to the end of Soulja Boy Tell 'Em 2)was --> "were"
 * Added apostrophe. I think it should be was, because it refers to its chart run. --Efe (talk) 09:02, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Image


 * Caption: Soulja Boy Tell 'Em first U.S. number-one single "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" spent stop the chart for seven weeks. | spent stop?
 * Sorry. Its atop. --Efe (talk) 09:02, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * See also


 * Remove Top Hot 100 Hits of 2007, its already noted in the article so no need for it in the See also.-- <  TRU CO  >   5 0 3 22:21, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I added it for that section not to look lonely. Hehe. 2007 in music is also linked above. --Efe (talk) 09:02, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but its not generally correct since both of those are already linked in the prose. Just the List of number-one hits main article should be there.-- <  TRU CO  >   5 0 3 15:17, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I am hesitant. Can you provide me a discussion over the use of see also? Leaving that section with one entry is not a good idea, IMO. Cannot stand as a section. --Efe (talk) 05:28, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:SEEALSO.-- <  TRU CO  >   5 0 3 14:33, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It says: "Links already included in the body of the text are generally not repeated in "See also"; however, whether a link belongs in the "See also" section is ultimately a matter of editorial judgment and common sense." Perhaps we discuss this at the project's talk page? --Efe (talk) 02:39, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Nah, its not that big of a deal. Like the guideline states, its all on editorial judgment.-- TRU  CO   00:48, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * In addition, dabs need to be fixed (as noted with the toolbox) and ref #27 and 50 are dead.-- <  TRU CO  >   5 0 3 22:30, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * How come? I can still access it and mostly links from Billboard are not dead. --Efe (talk) 09:02, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * All dabs fixed. --Efe (talk) 09:04, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thats odd, I guess the external links article is malfunctioning.-- <  TRU CO  >   5 0 3 15:17, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps. --Efe (talk) 05:28, 15 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Support -- Previous issues resolved to meet WP:WIAFL standards.-- TRU  CO   00:48, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Comments from
 * "In 2007, there were 17 singles that topped the chart." Redundant.
 * Removed including "that" Leaving it would make the sentence ungrammatical. --Efe (talk) 03:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That is what I meant :) Dabomb87 (talk) 00:44, 22 February 2009 (UTC)


 * "Three number-one singles tied for the longest run on the chart this year" "this" is too strong a back reference, say "2007" or "that".
 * "That" is rather awkward. --Efe (talk) 03:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * What about "2007"? Dabomb87 (talk) 00:44, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Changed. --Efe (talk) 00:25, 23 February 2009 (UTC)


 * "weeks, the last of these was non-consecutive." Should be a semicolon, not a comma.
 * A misuse of semicolon. Should be comma. --Efe (talk) 03:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No, we have a comma splice here. It needs to be reworded or a semicolon needs to be added. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:44, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I see no comma splice here because "the last of these was non-consecutive" is not an independent clause. Do you have any suggestion or better phrasing? Perhaps that would settle it. --Efe (talk) 00:25, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Seems like an independent clause to me (subject is "The last of these", predicate is "was consecutive"). Anyway, I will try to think of a rephrasing. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:25, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * "previous calendar year" Redundant, unless there is another type of year that could be referred to here.
 * Removed. --Efe (talk) 03:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)


 * "one for five straight weeks."-->one for five consecutive weeks. better word choice
 * The same consecutive and straight. I use both to make the prose better. --Efe (talk) 03:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)


 * ""Irreplaceable" is the best-performing single of the calendar year, topping the Top Hot 100 Hits of 2007." I am unsure of the logical connection of these two phrases. Is the song the best-performing because it topped the Top Hot 100 Hits of 2007, or was it already known as the best, and just happened to top the list?
 * No. Its the best-performing single of this year although it started its peak position in the preceding year. --Efe (talk) 03:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)


 * "for its jump from 64th to first place" Keep the numbers in the ordinals consistent.
 * They're consistent: 64th and 1st, unless I am missing something. Someone revised it. --Efe (talk) 03:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Right now it is "first". Dabomb87 (talk) 00:44, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Is should be in words, IMO. --Efe (talk) 00:25, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It looks awkward though. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:25, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * But MOS states it should be in words, unless I missed some. --Efe (talk) 05:42, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * "making it the biggest leap in this year."-->the largest leap of that year.
 * Changed to "of 2007". --Efe (talk) 03:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)


 * "has been credited by the music press as 2007's Song of the Summer.[6][7][8]" By the music press in general, or a specific agency/magazine/institution?
 * I have to generalize it. We don't want to name them all. --Efe (talk) 03:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)


 * "Young Joc"-->Yung Joc. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:41, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed. --Efe (talk) 03:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
