I am nominating this for featured list because I have worked tirelessly for the last few days, and believe this article is now compliant with all the Featured List Criteria. When I started working on this list, prose was virutally non exsistant, and the table formatting was as far from standard as possible. I worked on improving references, the prose, and all the table formatting. I now believe this list now meets the Criteria, and will review the nomination frequently. -- Sk8er5000 (talk) 09:24, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"This list deals with albums that reached number one on the ARIA albums chart in 2008." This sentence is wholly unnecessary. Also, check the toolbox to your right; there's a disambiguation link to be fixed and several dead links (is the ARIA site down?). Dabomb87 (talk) 14:29, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed all. -- Sk8er5000 (talk) 19:59, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Nice expansion. I made a few changes myself and have a few minor issues left, if you fix them I will support.
- Image caption "...and reached number two on the end of year albums chart". It sounds a bit strange, maybe "...and became the second most-popular album in Australia in 2008". Also could you link to List of Top 25 albums for 2008 in Australia?
- "This data are..." incorrect. Either "This data is..." or "These data are...", I would advice the first one.
- Remove the extra dot after ref [2].
That's it. Happy editing.--Music26/11 14:00, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Did the album's success led to the band's winning the Best Group award. Otherwise, it seems irrelevant. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:58, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Oppose
- A shame that physical media is a red link. Is there nothing you could link it to, or rephrase without linking and expanding to include compact disks, DVDs etc?
- Seems a little odd to me to use the ARIA abbreviation before explaining what ARIA is.
- Question : should end of year be hyphenated?
- "number one" or "number-one".
- Note: the hyphen usage depends on whether "number one" is used as a noun or an adjective. "Other albums with extended chart runs include Funhouse by Pink, which spent nine weeks at number one," but "number-one albums". I caught one unneeded hyphen, but everything else should be fine.

- Was Pink's run consecutive or non-consecutive? Who actually had the most consecutive weeks at the top?
- "won the ARIA award for Album of the Year and Best Dance release" presumably these are separate awards, so it "won the ARIA awards for..."
- The repeated use of "week" in the table is unnecessary given the column heading. And I would centrally align that column.
- Sometimes there are multiple references so the column heading should be "Reference(s)".
- Sortable table so relink things on every instance, such as Jack Johnson.
- Presumably "Issue date" relates to the chart, not the album - I'd make that clear.
- Is it "Australian Recording Industry Association Ltd" or just "Australian Recording Industry Association"? (see refs).
- Is there a 2008 in music style category this could be added to?
