List of Hot Country Singles number ones of 1973

 * Nominator(s): ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:26, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

The latest list of country number one songs by year. So far this little project of mine has produced 37 FLs, so here's the potential #38, covering a year in two 14-year olds hit the top of the chart........ - ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:26, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Wonderful work with the list. Although I am currently semi-retired, I thought that I should help with this nomination since it has not received much activity yet, so hopefully this will help get the ball rolling. Hope this helps at least somewhat. Aoba47 (talk) 23:11, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
 * For this part (At the start of the year the number one song was "She's Got to Be a Saint" by Ray Price,), I believe there should be a comma after the word "year".
 * The second sentence of the lead's second paragraph (i.e. the one about "You're the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me") seems rather long and dense with information. Would it be possible to split into two sentences to avoid having a somewhat run-on sentence?
 * A minor note, but there seem to be additional space between some of the sentences that should be removed.
 * For this part (Later in the year another 14-year old, Marie Osmond, reached the top spot with "Paper Roses",), I believe there should be a comma after "year".
 * For these parts (In March Cal Smith topped), (In April Charlie Rich gained), and (In July Kris Kristofferson, who), I believe there should be commas after the months.
 * many thanks for taking the time to stop by. WRT your third point, can you indicate where you are seeing that?  I might be being very dumb but I am not seeing it myself..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:31, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for addressing everything. I have corrected the spacing issues. I support this list for promotion. Great work as always. Aoba47 (talk) 19:39, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Not sure why chart needs to be wikilinked? Maybe make it more specific and have it displayed as a record chart with the wikilink?
 * Second sentence from the lede is a bit of a run-on and was kinda confusing. I'd maybe break it up as: " In 1973, 36 different singles topped the chart, at the time published under the title Hot Country Singles, in 52 issues of the magazine. Data was based on playlists submitted by country music radio stations and sales reports submitted by stores."
 * Second sentence of the third paragraph has similar length issues. Maybe something like "Later in the year, another 14-year old, Marie Osmond, reached the top spot with "Paper Roses". Osmond became the first female solo artist to top the chart with her debut single and set a new record as the youngest female artist to top the chart."
 * Table looks great.
 * Great work! Support. DanielleTH  (Say hi!) 14:58, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
