List of Billboard Latin Pop Albums number ones from the 1980s[edit]

Featured list candidates/List of Billboard Latin Pop Albums number ones from the 1980s/archive1

Nominator(s): Erick (talk) 15:57, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Taking a break from the Latin pop/tropical #1 singles while I work on the songs that reached #1 in 2001. I haven't mentioned, but I also love 80s music in Latin pop and tropical music formats. Since the Latin Pop Airplay didn't exist back then, I figured I'd do it by albums. As always, I look forward to addressing any issues! Erick (talk) 15:57, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

"José José was also the artist with the most number-one albums of the 1980s with Promesas (1985), Siempre Contigo (1986), and Soy Así (1987)" => "José José was also the artist with the most number-one albums of the 1980s, also topping the chart with Promesas (1985), Siempre Contigo (1986), and Soy Así (1987)"
"they were best-selling Latin pop albums of 1986–88, respectively" => "they were the best-selling Latin pop albums of 1986–88, respectively"
"Un Hombre Solo (1987) by Promesas had the longest-running number one " => "Un Hombre Solo (1987) by Promesas was the longest-running number one "
"Emmanuel and Julio Iglesias were the only artists to have more than two chart-toppers." => "Emmanuel and Julio Iglesias were the only other artists to have more than two chart-toppers." (because you already said that Jose Jose had four)
I might also be tempted to change it to "Julio Iglesias and Emmanuel", as currently it could be taken that Emmanuel also had the surname Iglesias (in the same way that you might say, say "Julio and Enrique Iglesias")
"while the artist was on temporary retirement" => "while the artist was in temporary retirement" (also in image caption)
"Five female acts had reached number one on the chart during the 1980s" => "Five female acts reached number one on the chart during the 1980s"
"Pantoja had the best-selling Latin pop of 1989" => "Pantoja had the best-selling Latin pop album of 1989"
That's it I think - great work once again! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:24, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the review @ChrisTheDude! I'll review one of your lists in return. Just ping me what you want me to review. Erick (talk) 19:40, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
One further question.......the lead says "Promesas was the longest-running number one with 32 weeks" but I am only seeing 17 weeks in the table......? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:29, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude Ah okay, I see where I went wrong. I counted each week twice by accident. I amended both Promesas and Iglesias's total weeks at number one with the sources provided by the Billboard database themselves. I hope that helps. Erick (talk) 12:27, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

José José's photo is from 2011. Add a "(pictured in 2011)" just after his name in the image caption. Same for the other photos which aren't from the 1980s.
I always need to do a double take on the word "bi-weekly" (wondering whether it means twice a week, or once in two weeks). Consider replacing it with "fortnightly".
"José José was also the artist with the most number-one albums of the 1980s also topping the chart with Promesas (1985), Siempre Contigo (1986), and Soy Así (1987), which were the best-selling Latin pop albums of 1986–88, respectively." Quite a bit of redundancy there: "number-one albums", "topping the chart" and "best-selling ... albums".
The sentence about Camilo Sesto doesn't seem very relevant for the lead. Remove it, unless the album has achieved some other distinction too.
Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. Visual captions can be added by putting |+ caption_text as the first line of the table code; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting |+ caption_text instead. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 01:31, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@MPGuy2824 Thanks for the feedback! I did my best regarding the redundancy part and addressed everything else. Let me know if I missed anything. Erick (talk) 02:39, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Splitting the José José sentence works better. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 02:49, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you have the time and the inclination, please take a look at this older FL nomination. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 02:49, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@MPGuy2824 I'll see what I can do, but I can't make any promises. Erick (talk) 01:17, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Leaving this here as a placeholder, will review shortly. – jona ✉ 18:37, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You could briefly explain why this chart is significant and why its incorporation perfectly ties in with the genre's rise in popularity. For example, the emergence of "Latin pop" as a distinct genre in the 1980s, its entry into the Amrican music industry in the 1980s, while this page elucidates Latin pop's ascendancy in the 1980s in Miami, attributing it to significant migration, and by the 1980s Latin pop had become the most commercially successful Latin music genre in the US. A concise sentence on the genre's emergence in the United States would be helpful, you don't have to use all of these sources as they were just examples of what I found online.

Consider providing additional context or insights about the various albums that you've highlighted in the lead. For instance, you could briefly discuss the impact of these albums on the Latin pop genre or their cultural relevance during the 1980s so that it could enhance the reader's understanding. For example, the first entry of the chart was nominated for a Grammy Award, while the last entry of the chart garnered a pop-ballad album of the year honor and is considered to be her breakthrough album of her career.

Overall, the list effectively presents important information about key artists and their chart-topping albums. Above I suggested providing additional context for both the artists/albums and the chart to further improve its readability and engagement. Hopes this helps, – jona ✉ 22:36, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AJona1992 Thank you very much for the view, it was very insightful! I mainly added the popularity of Latin pop and the baladas in general and used the Lo Nuestro Awards instead of the Grammys since Univision and Billboard partnered with each other at the time. Erick (talk) 19:42, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
After some c/e and a further review of the article, I am now able to support this nomination for FL. Best – jona ✉ 22:00, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Image review[edit]

Passes conditionally; see below for details.

Clothing details should be removed from the alt texts for File:José José.png and File:Isabel Pantoja - 03.jpg; the guideline on alt text advises against mentioning clothing aside from in articles related to fashion. Otherwise, the alt text here is excellent.
Sourcing verifies for each image, though I am choosing to AGF with regards to File:Julio Iglesias.jpg, where the Flickr source link is dead.
All images are appropriately licensed for either public domain or Creative Commons.
All images contribute encyclopedic value to the listicle.

With the only issue being minor and easily fixable, I am going to conditionally support this nomination on images. Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 21:40, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
