List of Hot R&B Sides number ones of 1961

 * Nominator(s): ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:47, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Here's my 20th nomination of a yearly number ones list from what is now Billboard's R&B/hip-hop chart. In this year we see the start of a revolution in black American music, as for the first time the Motown label really makes its presence felt..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:47, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Dank

 * Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
 * "African American-oriented": I'd rather get poked in the eye than make a big deal out of hyphens, but I'm probably supposed to say here that some people like "African-American-oriented", some prefer an en-dash in there somewhere, and some prefer to reword.
 * Checking the FLC criteria:
 * 1. I've done a little copyediting; feel free to revert or discuss. 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 list 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. Well done. - Dank (push to talk) 04:00, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

A few minor comments --Newtothisedit (talk) 21:39, 16 February 2023 (UTC) Support. Very well written and informative list --Newtothisedit (talk) 17:03, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * "who topped the chart for a single week with "One Mint Julep" and for five weeks with "Hit the Road Jack" Add the months these singles topped the chart, as I believe you do this with every other track
 * Done -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:47, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * "R&B Jockeys chart" Is there a Wikilink for this chart?
 * Not to a specific article on it, but I linked to the "History" section of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs article -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:47, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Maybe use an image of King closer to 1961 given that you do so with Charles and the Marvelletes.
 * None are available. The only images on Commons are all of him as an old guy :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:47, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * - thanks for your review, responses above -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:47, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
