... that in 2015 Alexe Gaudreault became the first independent artist to top the BDS charts in 15 years? Source 1: [1] English translation: "The first position for so long is quite an achievement! Alexe Gaudreault is the first independent artist to have reached # 1 of the top 100 BDS, the charts of French-speaking radio stations, over the past 15 years." Original French: "La première position pendant si longtemps, c’est tout un exploit! Alexe Gaudreault est la première artiste indépendante à avoir atteint le #1 du top 100 BDS, le palmarès des radios francophones, au cours des 15 dernières années." Source 2: [2] English Translation: "This single ended up at number 1 on the list of the 100 best French-speaking BDS songs ... for seven consecutive weeks! This is a first in 15 years for an independent artist." Original French: "Cet extrait s'est retrouvé au numéro 1 du palmarès des 100 meilleures chansons francophones BDS... pendant sept semaines consécutives! C'est une première en 15 ans pour une artiste indépendante."
Comment: I do not know French, and all the sources I found were in French. I used my browser's translate function, but if anyone who knows French could review, that would be great! Also, not sure if the status should be "new" or "BLP expanded"; it was a newly-created article with no sources that I found and expanded with sources.

Overall: Qualifies as new because it was a new article that was drafted. Long-enough (barely meeting the 1,500 characters). It is mostly sourced (the final line lacks a source), it is neutral, plagiarism-free, with no translation problems, and with no images to review. Considering this is to be posted on the main page, it's better to be safe and to reference that last line. Pinging @EdGl:.
@Tbhotch: Thank you for taking the time to review; I also appreciate your edits to the article which improved its quality. I did not add that unsourced sentence to the article, but I found references for it and added them. They are primary sources, but they are independent of the subject and, as they are awards show nominations from the awards show website itself, they should be uncontroversial. ~EdGltalk 22:43, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
I don't see any other problem. (CC)Tbhotch™ 03:55, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
