shortest list

should it be noted that this is so far the year with the least number ones? Blazemon (talk) 16:09, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be appropriate to mention it, once 2009 is finished and the article's lead (summary) is written. - eo (talk) 16:57, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Historical charts

Now that billboard has made the top 10 of every historical chart available i think its time-wasting to look up articles that tell us what the number one of each week was. In the future I think it should be exclusively historical charts so we can simplify referencing.--Francopedorro (talk) 20:22, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

featuring Kesha?

yes or no?128.62.181.148 (talk) 15:36, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No. --Legolas ^(talktome) 15:40, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wish this whole Kesha thing was better handled. Apparently it charted as a Flo Rida solo single, then someone must have contacted Billboard, then Kesha was listed for about 2 or 3 weeks while it was number one. Then she was removed again. I've never seen that happen before. - eo (talk) 15:43, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The only reason Kesha was removed has been stated in last ot last week's Chart Beat. Apparently Billboard decided that her addition to the song was less than what is required to be noted as a featured artist, hence the removal. I think I was the one who removed it. --Legolas ^(talktome) 15:50, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, I missed that article. Any chance you have a link to it? I'd like to read that. - eo (talk) 16:09, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was the March 12th Chart Beat. I can't find it now. The oldest Chart BEat present is MArch 19. Sorry eric. --Legolas ^(talktome) 16:18, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weird, I always read Chart Beat. Ah well, no worries, thanks for looking. - eo (talk) 16:23, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Knowles or no Knowles?

I understand the use of "Knowles" in articles related directly to Beyoncé or her singles/albums, however, I feel that since the main focus of these lists, and the main sources, come from Billboard magazine, her stage name of simply "Beyoncé" should be displayed here. Billboard doesn't make up its own artist credits; they adhere to the direction of artist management and record labels, so obviously this has been decided by someone in Beyoncé's camp. Billboard's website(s) and print issues do not contain "Knowles" on chart pages and the same goes for post-1998 Janet Jackson releases being credited solely to "Janet", as well as any other number of artist names (John Cougar in 1982 when he hit #1, John Mellencamp now, for example). I'm thinking these lists should credit the artist as is shown in the magazine. Thoughts from the peanut gallery? - eo (talk) 11:44, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The reason why I suggested Eric to put this discussion is to get your inputs guys. My only reason why use her full name is for consistency. --Efe (talk) 11:52, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is a list of number-one hits per Billboard magazine, so keep it as the magazine has it. It's a piped link anyway, so it's still being linked directly to Beyoncé Knowles. --Wolfer68 (talk) 08:41, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Early in the year

Before the editing back-and-forth gets tedious can we agree that the table can stay? The only thing I think we should hold off on is the commentary. There's really no proper way to assess the year until it is completed. What may seem notable in January may end up being nothing major by May or be completely upstaged by some other song in October. Let's hold off on that. Any thoughts? - eo (talk) 10:35, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. And the detractors Eric, as you have reminded me. The fanboys. --Efe (talk) 10:54, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Completely agree. The reason i wanted the table to stay was, at the end of the eyar it will remove tedious editing and users can just add the commentary (and maybe images). Cheers! "Legolas" (talk) 10:54, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thx guys. In fact the last time I reverted the article I accidentally went to a non-table version of the page. Let's keep the tables and hold off on the blah-blah-blah analysis. Later! - eo (talk) 11:43, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My Life Would Suck Without You, No. 1 for the Week of February 14?

As far as I know, Billboard hasn't released this week's charts and MLWSWY can't be confirmed as the No. 1 for this week. Just sayin' :) Ivan ballet izzle (talk) 02:01, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please take note that Billboard's issue dates are advance to at least 1 week. That's why its states February 14. --Efe (talk) 07:14, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kesha Tik Tok

Keshas single Tik Tok gained actually number one on Billboard Hot 100 and stop Jayz Empire State of mind ;) kaldriot 21:15, 23 December 2009

Insert the italian article

Lady Gaga's picture legend

If I don't get it wrong, Beyoncé's two first singles ("Crazy in Love", stayed No. 1 for 8 weeks, and "Baby Boy", stayed No. 1 for 9 weeks) from her album Dangerously in Love both topped the chart which makes her the last artist who did it, and not Christina Aguilera as it's written.

"Right Round" should be cited as Flo Rida featuring Kesha as she has now been credited as the female vocalist on the track. Look at the single art for the song. 108.30.133.88 (talk) 13:02, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. Billboard never credited the single that way back when it charted in 2009, even if the single's cover art indicates it now. Kesha's Hot 100 history data on their web site shows no mention of "Right Round" at all [1], and Flo Rida's Hot 100 history data similarly doesn't show "featuring Kesha" under the song [2]. I will say that Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Singles (thru 2015) does mention Kesha under the song in Flo Rida's history, but doesn't show it as "Flo Rida featuring Kesha" (if it were actually a featuring credit, the note would be in the format of "artist(s) Featuring artist(s)").

This would be similar to crediting Drake on Travis Scott's "Sicko Mode", brought to even more attention given how dominant Drake was in 2018, having already had 29 total weeks at #1 that year before that song hit #1. The music video credits Drake as "featuring", but Billboard does not. MPFitz1968 (talk) 16:16, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
