Do you like songs from movies and stage musicals? Then you will find something you like in the list of Billboard's easy listening chart-toppers of 1969. Alternatively, maybe you like songs about how mankind is going to die out in the future, there's one of those in there too....... As ever, feedback will be most gratefully received and swiftly acted upon -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:24, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Alavense
[edit]Excellent work, ChrisTheDude. I only have one question: does it really make sense to have the key that way? If "Hurt So Bad" topped the Year-End but doesn't even feature in the list, I think it would be best to have it mentioned on the prose, wouldn't it? The way it is now, it feels as if the reader would expect (at least I did) to find something highlighted in yellow on the chart and then they don't. Alavense (talk) 14:39, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Alavense: In all honesty I don't really see the need to have it mentioned in the article at all but "it was like that when I got here, your honour" ;-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:53, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- No problem, then. Support. Alavense (talk) 15:09, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]- "The chart, which in 1969 was entitled Easy Listening, has undergone various name changes and since 1996 has been published under the title Adult Contemporary." - My Grammar checker is recommending commas before and after "since 1996"
- "The longest unbroken run at number one by a song was eight weeks, achieved by the orchestra leader Henry Mancini's "Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet"." - There does not currently seem to be a source in the article verifying he is an orchestra leader, unless I'm missing something?
- Stellar work, and I enjoy the great pictures in these lists as always.--NØ 19:00, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @MaranoFan: - done! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:18, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Support and pass on source review, as all the sources are reliable and/or primary ones that verify the facts :) NØ 10:29, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man im josh
[edit]Source review: Passed
- Reliable enough for the information being cited
- Consistent date formatting
- Consistent and proper reference formatting
- Appropriate wikilinks where applicable
- Spot checks on sources match what they are being cited for
The only feedback I have is to consider adding the {{Use mdy dates|July 2024}} template to the top of the article under the short description in case anybody else adds references later on and they are not as careful as you've been. Support, great stuff Chris! Hey man im josh (talk) 13:38, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Hey man im josh: - thanks for your review, I have added that template! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:01, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- This is great work as expected and I'm not finding much to criticize, though I do have a couple comments:
- a track which peaked at number 2 – per MOS:NUMERAL, shouldn't all numbers below 10 be spelled out? I would also recommend using a non-breaking space, as the word "number" and the position are appearing on separate lines on my laptop.
- Addressed but in a different way. I decided that the specific position at which the song peaked isn't actually that important, the only important thing is that it didn't reach number one... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:27, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- In the third paragraph, the sequence that follows Five songs topped both listings during the year reads a little awkwardly to me. I feel like removing the "and" before the 5th Dimension's mention and the "as well as" before Zager and Evans would result in a smoother flow.
- Done! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:27, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
