List of Hot Country Singles number ones of 1985

 * Nominator(s): ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:28, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

There are now 27 of these year-by-year country number one lists at FL status, so here's what will hopefully be #28, covering a year in which the band Alabama broke a record for consecutive number ones........as long as you ignore a Christmas song -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:28, 3 June 2019 (UTC) -- Lirim  |  Talk  09:55, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * "Ray Charles was more associated with the soul and rhythm and blues genres, but in 1985 he had a number one on the country chart." Says who? This could be rewritten and one/two refs would be good for the genre aspect.
 * The ref in the lead (after "Although he was far more associated with the soul and rhythm and blues genres during his lengthy career") covers this, and I added a second one for good measure
 * Ref 8/9: AllMusic is a publisher
 * Amended
 * Is there a reason AllMusic is linked everytime and Billboard isn't? There is no need to link to these sites/magazines in refs.
 * De-linked AllMusic in refs
 * Just one tipp: Billboard has an entire archive for the biggest charts. 1985 Country Songs here There is no need to have 52 individual refs, when there is one. It's not wrong, but this could save you and the reader time.
 * Thank you for your comments -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:00, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Support Great, as always.-- Lirim  |  Talk  10:05, 13 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Support – Make sure band names that start with "The" are lowercase mid-sentence in the lead (per MOS:THEMUSIC). Other than that looks great as usual :-) – zmbro (talk) 03:19, 15 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Support – can't find any issues :) Allied45 (talk) 02:39, 22 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Support I made one minor grammatical change but other than that it looks great. Table looks great, sources are all formatted properly, sorting is correct, and the lede is really good - love the detail on individual artists. Great work! Toa Nidhiki05 12:46, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
