Deletion

You're right - it is notable. Still, the article could use padding out a bit - is every song written by these two notable? Why this one in particular I'm not contending but the article could use expanding with the reasons why! Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 04:40, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This whole sentence does not make much sense

This whole sentence does not make much sense, because of much garbling (typographical errors)? Also, this sentence seems to say that the Top 40 is very different from the Hot 100, which is rather obvious, or that the orders from 1 to 40 on both of the charts is quite different, which might be quite true - or not.
The top 40 chart performance on WLS[24] was much earlier than, and very different from on, the Hot 100.24.156.77.8 (talk) 07:31, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What does this mean? Please explain.

What does this mean? Please explain: "Basing her version on the Harrison arrangement rather than Dylan's arrangement." Please explain in terms that ordinary laymen can understand, and not just experts in music.24.156.77.8 (talk) 07:36, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
