A top-ten list of songs for the year rather than per each week during the year would make more sense. These lists cross the line of
WP:IINFO,
WP:TRIVIA, and is not a topic covered in reliable sources as required per
WP:LISTN beyond the primary source. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 02:56, 18 September 2020 (UTC)reply
Keep. Regardless of what does or doesn't "make more sense" to the nominator, these lists are no different from the lists we have for literally dozens of other countries — see, e.g.
Category:2020 record charts, and the equivalent categories for every other year, which are all literally overflowing with "top single of each week" lists for numerous countries, none structured or sourced or substanced any differently than these. If the nominator wanted to get rid of all of them, that might be different — but deciding that Canada is somehow unique in not warranting these, when Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Panama, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States all do have exactly the same thing, that's absolutely not on the table.

Delete. Striking and revoting from scratch, because I misinterpreted what was actually on the table. These are actually lists of all the songs that peaked inside the top ten in Canada — and that's not a thing we have for most other countries: what we normally have is lists of the number one, and only the number one, songs of each week. And while there are a couple of other countries (US, UK, Ireland) where people have started trying to obsessively document the entire top ten for posterity, that's much newer and much less developed, and should probably also be deleted as I have no idea where the consensus came from that they were ever warranted in the first place. So yeah, this actually is trivia that we don't need to keep. Apologies for the misread.
