Romanian Radio Airplay Chart

 * Nominator(s): Cartoon network freak (talk) 22:26, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I have extensivley worked on it according to List of Airplay 100 number ones of the 2010s, which already is a FL. Thank you for every comment! Cartoon network freak (talk) 22:26, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment - should this not be at List of Romanian Radio Airplay Chart number ones....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:46, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Additional comments
 * "which lists the top ten most broadcast Romanian and foreign songs" - don't think "Romanian and foreign" is needed
 * It needs to be mentioned since they publish the top 10 most broadcast Romanian and the top 10 most broadcast international songs.
 * OK, I am super confused now. I checked the Media Forest site and (as you say) they publish the international and Romanian top 10s separately each week.  So how is there only one number one song listed here for each week?  For example, for the current week, DJ Snake is #1 on the international chart and Ioana Ignat is #1 on the Romanian chart, yet only DJ Snake is listed here, why is that?  Are you picking whichever of the two number ones had the higher number of plays and deciding that it's the "overall" number one?  If so, are there any reliable sources which do this and crown an "overall" Romanian airplay number one each week?  If not, it seems like OR to me..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:50, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * This is OR then. Maybe we should just shut down this nomination. Cartoon network freak (talk) 15:25, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * - don't be hasty, let's see what other people think. The other approach, of course, would simply be to list both number ones for each week..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:35, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Indeed... I'm sorry :) Cartoon network freak (talk) 15:41, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Just for other reviewers that may join this discussion — the scope of this list is to list the most-played song on Romanian radio stations every week. While Media Forest does not directly 'pick' a number one, it's clear that there is one each week since it's got the most plays. ChrisTheDude mentioned the possible OR here, which I think is discussable. Listing both the number ones on the 'Romanian' and on the 'international' column would be unnecessary, at least in my opinion, and that would not meet the scope of this list. Maybe the article should be renamed to something like "List of most broadcast radio songs in Romania" (just an example). I'm waiting for opinions...

 * "based on the full broadcasts tracks receive on the aforementioned radio stations" - no idea what this means. Do you mean "based on the number of times tracks are broadcast on the....."
 * "During late 2000s and the 2010s," - just say "Since the chart began in 2009....."
 * "more than 100 singles reached" => "more than 100 singles have reached"
 * ""Shoulda" (2012) by American recording artist Jamie Woon has spent" => ""Shoulda" (2012) by American recording artist Jamie Woon spent"
 * "Smiley with eight number-ones" => "Smiley with eight number ones"
 * "As of 2018," - we're in 2019
 * Sure, but the source is from 2018. We can't say anything about 2019 for now at least.


 * "As of 14 January 2018, the current number one" - obvious typo here
 * No need for a key item to indicate the current number one, the last one listed is obviously the current one
 * I think this is quite helpful actually and also symbolizes that the chart is still running. However, I can remove it if you want be to but it's also in the List of Airplay 100 number ones of the 2010s article
 * Surely the date against that row indicates that the chart is still running.........? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:40, 24 January 2019 (UTC)


 * The Notes section refers to about eight songs which it says made number one but they are not in the table They need to be listed, as they reached number one and without them the table is inaccurate.  See List of Most Played Juke Box Folk Records number ones of 1945 for an example of how to handle songs being joint number one.
 * Hope this helps - the last point is the big one for me - I would not be able to support a list of all the number ones on a chart if the table did not actually list all the number ones..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:19, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi and thanks for your comments! I do not think a "List of Romanian Radio Airplay Chart number ones of the 2010s" is required, since the Romanian Radio Airplay Chart isn't Romania's main music chart, so it would be unnecessary having both this page AND the List of... page. The Romanian Radio Airplay Chart page would be nearly empty then and with the same info as the List of... article. I will address your other comments eventually today. THANK YOU!!

 * Hi again! I solved all your comments and responded to selected ones. Cartoon network freak (talk) 21:52, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Comments from Lirim.Z
 * Why is the artist the scope? It's about the song not the artist.
 * As of 2018, Cat Music have had a large impact on Romanian broadcasting starting with the chart's establishment year, having signed artists such as Delia Matache, Smiley, 3 Sud Est, Elena Gheorghe and Voltaj. Every year, the label has released songs that have gone on to be featured on the list of the most broadcast ones in Romania. These sentences do sound in my opinion ridiculous awful. I would change it to "The romanian record label Cat Music, has a huge impact on the chart. Multiple artist signed to the label, for e.x Delia Matache, Smiley, 3 Sud Est, Elena Gheorghe and Voltaj, reached the list of the most broadcast ones in Romania. or something like that.
 * I would turn By artist and By song into one section. For e.x: Statistics and then these both. It's quite useless to give each table such a small extra section.

 * Hi there and thanks for your comments. Regarding the sentence, I think it sounds quite good and it was also allowed for List of Airplay 100 number ones of the 2010s (which is a FL now) after it had been worked on. As for your other comments, the separate "By song" and "by artist" sections are manual of style for such lists, so I'm hasitant about changing that. The same goes for the separate Artist column in the list; also, isn't he/she a crucial part of the song? Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:31, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
