Comment(s) by Efe
 * You still failed to include the longest-running album of this year. --Efe (talk) 11:18, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I found this reference on Billboard, but I think it refers to "Smooth" on the Billboard Hot 100. Frcm1988 (talk) 16:18, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Like this. "Hey Ya!" continued its pole position in 2004, but is credited as one of 2003's longest-running singles. --Efe (talk) 13:21, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah! Here is a better proof. Jagged Little Pill first topped the chart in 1995, and reappeared at number one the following year. Billboard credit it as 1995's longest-running album by a female artist. --Efe (talk) 13:26, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't understand your point at first, but then I realize that you refer to the longest-running "number-one" album of the year. First I thought that you were refering to the number of weeks in total the album spent on the chart and I thought that some of the other albums spent more weeks on the chart: Spears and the Backstreet Boys. Sorry my mistake.
 * Added
 * Sorry for the vague comment. --Efe (talk) 07:22, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * "The Billboard 200, published in Billboard magazine, is a weekly chart that ranks the 200 highest-selling music albums and EPs in the United States." Its kind of redundant. --Efe (talk) 13:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Removed 200


 * "There were 23 number-one albums on this chart in 1999, including Garth Brook's Double Live, which spent a consecutive run of five weeks at the top of the chart starting in early December 1998." Wondering why you first mentioned the album?
 * I mentioned it first because is the first number-one album of the year, and the only one that started its chart run at number-one in 1998.
 * OK, no probs. --Efe (talk) 07:22, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * "debuted at number one with 670,000 copies sold in its first week". The significance of this, too. --Efe (talk) 13:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It's the second biggest sales opening for an album in 1999, but I can remove that part.
 * Removed


 * "Pop singer Britney Spears peaked at number one with her first album ...Baby One More Time" Maybe a little bit rephrasing because it seems that Spears is the one who peaked on the chart. Maybe "Pop singer Britney Spears' first album ...Baby One More Time peaked at number one". --Efe (talk) 13:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Changed


 * "I Am…, the third studio album by rapper Nas, was originally planned as a double-disc concept album comprised of autobiographical material, but was scaled down and released as a single disc after some of the tracks were leaked." This should not be here because the intro is the analysis of the list. --Efe (talk) 13:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I added that part for a little context on the album, but it can be removed, what did you suggest: I Am…, the third studio album by rapper Nas, stayed at the top of the chart for two weeks and has been certified double platinum by the RIAA.?
 * Much better. --Efe (talk) 07:22, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Done Frcm1988 (talk) 19:22, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
