List of number-one Billboard Top Latin Albums from the 1990s

 * Nominator(s): Jaespinoza (talk) 19:01, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because is a merge from three previous featured lists and we reached a consensus for this union so the list can be even more helpful to readers. The previous featured lists were: List of number-one Billboard Top Latin Albums of 1993, 1994 and 1995 and List of number-one Billboard Top Latin Albums of 1996, 1997 and 1998. The list for 1999 is still a FL, but I'll redirect it to the merge.Jaespinoza (talk) 19:01, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Comment The 1999 list needs to go through FLRC. I'll list it while this FLC goes on. Dabomb87 (talk) 19:08, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * See here. Dabomb87 (talk) 19:17, 20 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much, I wasn't aware of the procedure. Jaespinoza (talk) 19:28, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. The 1999 list can be speedy delisted; if you could lend your opinion at the FLRC that would be great. Dabomb87 (talk) 19:28, 20 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment There are several dead links. Check the toolbox to the right. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:25, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

 * No dab links.
 * Fix the 9 dead external links
 * The images need alt text
 * Lead
 * During the 1990s there were 36 number-one albums in this chart, which was first published on July 10, 1993. -- Comm after 1990s
 * At the Grammy Awards of 1994 it won Best Traditional Tropical Album. --> It won Best Traditional Tropical Album at the Grammy Awards of 1994.
 * Mi Tierra spent 25 weeks at number one in 1993 and 33 weeks at this position on in 1994.
 * Segundo Romance by Mexican singer Luis Miguel also peaked at number one; this album completed a 29-week run, starting in late 1994. -- dash needed in between late and 1994 to connect them.
 * It won the Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album [when?] over singers Cristian Castro, Placido Domingo, Juan Gabriel and Tejano music group La Mafia;[6] this group the latter also peaked at number one in in March 1995 with their live album Éxitos En Vivo.
 * Five albums by Tex-Mex music performer Selena reached first place number-one on the chart; one week after her death in 1995, her album Amor Prohibido returned to number one.
 * The self-titled debut album by Enrique Iglesias reached the top spot of the chart for 11 weeks and won the Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album over Nada Es Igual... by Luis Miguel,[11] which also peaked at number one. -- When?
 * Two albums related to the song "Macarena" hit the top spot of the chart: Macarena Non Stop by Los del Río, and Macarena Mix, a compilation album with music by Sandalo, Manolos, El Lupe and The Sacados. -- When?
 * Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira with ¿Dónde Están los Ladrones?, her first number-one album, spent 11 weeks at number one, received a nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album and was certified platinum in United States. -- you should state that the RIAA certified it platinum, if you do this, its gonna need (RIAA) next to the spelled out version earlier in the text.
 * Latin rock performer Santana debuted and peaked at number one with Supernatural on the only week the album appeared on this chart. - Instead of on, use during
 * The only other problem I see is that its not really clear when they won the Grammy Awards, either be consistent and don't mention when they won the awards or mention it for all of them. I think the first suggestion would be easier.
 * Images
 * Mexican singer Luis Miguel released four number-one albums during the 90's. -- 90's --> 1990s
 * References
 * Either link every publisher that has an article on Wikipedia or don't link them at all.
 * The list itself checks out fine.-- T ru  c o   503 20:59, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The dead external links, alt text. and ref publisher linking issues still need to be resolved.-- T ru  c o   503 20:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Support -- Previous issues resolved/clarified; list now meets WP:WIAFL.-- T ru  c o   503 19:25, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Support Opposing Comments  from  Opposing until Billboard links are fixed, as that makes most of the list unverifiable.
 * I performed a copy-edit of the lead; please make sure I didn't accidentally introduce errors.
 * The images need alternative text. They only have captions right now. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:59, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Except for the Billboard links, which should be fixed when possible, Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 19:10, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Ref 6, the "Gold and Platinum" is unnecessary in the work.
 * Billboard's links are dead, but we just have to wait and fix them.
 * These are still dead, but I trust someone will go back and fix the links when the site is working again. Dabomb87 (talk) 19:14, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The CNN link is dead.
 * What makes http://www.clarin.com/diario/1999/01/06/c-00301d.htm reliable (I'm not fluent in Spanish, so I wasn't sure if it was a news company or something else)? Dabomb87 (talk) 14:59, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know whether the way the general reference is presented is acceptable or not, but I don't mind it. It explains every step that needs to be done to verify the info you want, so it's fine to me. As for the dead links, Billboard has moved all of its pages, so it's just a matter of time to find the right links.--Crzycheetah 01:57, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I fixed most of the refs, except the main ones. Dabomb, could you add the alt text? You're the expert around here.--Crzycheetah 05:24, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * About the reference: Clarin is the one of the biggest if not the biggest newspaper in Argentina. Frcm1988 (talk) 18:41, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the edits and clarifications. I put in the alt text. Kudos to Jaespinoza for the quick turnaround and production of a merged list. Dabomb87 (talk) 19:10, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the alt text!--Crzycheetah 01:31, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * It's very difficult to see, for instance, how long Ricky Martin's Vuelve was at number one since it was split over so many different runs at the top. Any idea on how this can be improved?
 * Is there any point in the navbox having two separate year ranges which both point to this list? The Rambling Man (talk) 16:41, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I fixed the navbox. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:47, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the sorting capability helps us find out how long each album was at #1. Just sort by album and all "vuelves" are listed next to one another.--Crzycheetah 18:20, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Comment Dance with Me (soundtrack) is the only album that is not linked. Should it be section-linked to Dance with Me (film), or should it be redlinked? Dabomb87 (talk) 18:28, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd either link it to the section or just redirect Dance with Me (soundtrack) to the section.--Crzycheetah 18:42, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I added a new article for the soundtrack... the list is now complete!.Jaespinoza (talk) 02:02, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Two billboard links are busted right now. They're reorganizing the site, but it should be a reasonably easy fix to poke around and find the new ones. Staxringold talkcontribs 20:21, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment I have found this link that shows the first week's chart. In that page, right under the logo, there's a date that states "July 10, 1993", anyone can click on that date to open a calendar and choose the week he/she wants to see by selecting the right year and month. Now, I realize it's a little complicated, but, as I see, the Billboard wants it to be this complicated. What do you guys think? Should we accept this way of verifying info or not? I personally don't mind it.--Crzycheetah 21:44, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I used the same link to fix the older ones. It is easy to find info in the billboard.biz site, but is for members only, so this is our best option to find out about the number one albums from this chart. This Billboard re-arrange... is kinda hard.Jaespinoza (talk) 02:02, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
