List of Billboard Easy Listening number ones of 1968

Featured list candidates/List of Billboard Easy Listening number ones of 1968/archive1

Nominator(s): ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:47, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

With the 1966 list having just been promoted and the 1967 having multiple supports, here's the 1968 list. This year's chart-toppers included a Brazilian Beatles cover, a French cover of a Luxembourgish contest entry, and a cover of a 1941 big band song about a train. Feedback as ever will be most gratefully received and swiftly acted upon -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:47, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support on prose and table accessibility. Sad that there is no usable image for the French orchestra leader who spent the most time on the top of this chart. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:27, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @MPGuy2824: - yup, sadly no free-use images of Paul Mauriat appear to be available and a fair-use image couldn't really be justified on this article.... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:45, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man im josh

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 15 sources match what they are being cited for

My only feedback is that ref 2 needs a publish date of November 14, 2011. Good job Chris, but you didn't stump me this time! Please ping me when that's been addressed I'll be happy to support. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:13, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hey man im josh: - done! I hadn't noticed this before and I don't know if it's to do with my geographical settings or something, but when I open that source, it displays the date you mention for about half a second before it changes to "13 years ago", which I deemed too vague to put in the citation. Weird..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:22, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ChrisTheDude: I actually hovered over the "13 years ago" to see that date. I just happened to be curious if it would show me and it did! Anyways, support. Hey man im josh (talk) 22:48, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pseud 14

Mendes would achieve a second number one 15 years after the first when he made a comeback in 1983. -- perhaps worth mentioning the song, since I read a similar example for Billy Joel.
he would not return to the top of the chart until 1975. -- same as above for Campbell's comeback.
Nothing more to add. Solid work again. Pseud 14 (talk) 16:33, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Pseud 14: - both done! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:39, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NØ

Ref 4 should have 'Come to the Sunshine' in single quotes, and probably with the Ts in lowercase.
- Changed -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:32, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Adult contemporary charts are subscription only, so this should be indicated with a "url-access=subscription" in the refs, probably.
- Even though the number ones can be seen without the need to subscribe......? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:32, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's a good point.

The actual article is perfect this time and I had to dip into the sourcing to have comments, lol. Really good work. I have a very short article at FAC in case you would like to return a review.--N Ø 12:15, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MaranoFan: - thanks for your review, responses above -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:32, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
