As the FLC for the 1987 list has been open for a couple of weeks and has a couple of supports, here's 1988. More Michael Jackson, more Freddie Jackson (no relation) and the usual mix of all-time greats and hot newcomers..... -- ChrisTheDude ( talk) 20:46, 18 February 2024 (UTC) reply
A well-prepared list – but not quite flawless yet ;)
African American-oriented genres(1) → "African American–oriented genres" (dash, not hyphen) (2) shouldn't this link to African-American music, not black music?
the chart has undergone various name changes over the decades→ "the chart's name has changed over the decades"
In the issue of Billboard dated January 2, Michael Jackson ... He also spent time atop the chart in 1988I would move mention of the year to the very beginning of the paragraph, so → "In the issue of Billboard dated January 2, 1988, Jackson ... He also spent time atop the chart
taking the total number→ "taking the number"
Pebbles, Bobby Brown, and Freddie Jackson (no relation to Michael) also topped the chartwouldn't hurt to write "all also topped the chart" to clarify they were all separate acts.
rapper Roxanne Shante→ "the rapper Roxanne Shante"
"Tumblin' Down" by Marley and the Melody Makers was the year's final number onesignificance? surely the year-end number one is what we're interested in?
Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" and "Man in the Mirror" and "Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car" by Billy Oceanreads like Jackson also did "Getta Outta My Dreams"
You make it really difficult to find things to criticize! Good stuff as always =) Hey man im josh ( talk) 14:39, 29 February 2024 (UTC) reply
