I am nominating this for featured list because...it has already received a Peer Review which I have responded to and corrected queries. I want to take this list to FLC as the first of a set (including Popstars, X Factor and Pop Idol releases). Thanks. 03md 10:00, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) Several prose issues, but I'm opposing mainly for verification reasons and because I'm unsure if ChartStats is reliable.
- "The show was produced for the BBC in a reality television format and aimed to find a new musical artist." What do you mean by "aimed to find a new musical artist"? How does one define a "new musical artist"?
- Reworded
- "The winners of the show, David Sneddon[1][2] and Alex Parks, [3] were
bothawarded music"- Changed
- "three top 20 hits"-->three top-20 hits
- Done
- "a number of the other contestants"-->several other contestants
- Done
- "Malachi[7] and Alistair Griffin both released self-penned songs in 2003 but both were subsequently dropped from their record labels." Remove both "both"s :)
- Done
- "James Fox was also chosen as the United Kingdom's representative for the the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest, where he performed "Hold Onto Our Love". The song charted at number 13 on the UK Singles Chart in April 2003 and Fox scored 29 points for his Eurovision performance."-->James Fox was chosen as the United Kingdom's representative for the the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest; he sang "Hold Onto Our Love", which charted at number 13 on the UK Singles Chart in April 2003, and received 29 points for his performance.
- Done
- "has been
by farthe most successful"- Done
- "which charted number two"-->which charted at number two (what chart?)
- Clarified the chart
- "nine further top 40 hit singles"-->nine more top-40 hit singles
- Done
- "including six which charted in the top 10."-->including six that charted in the top 10.
- Done
- "He has also released four studio albums, with the most successful, "The Truth About Love", charting at number three on the UK Albums Chart in 2006."-->He has released four studio albums; The Truth About Love is the most successful, charting at number three on the UK Albums Chart in 2006.
- Done
- "19 singles reached the top twenty and of those, 12 were top ten hits. "-->Of the 19 singles that reached the top twenty, 12 were top-ten hits.
- Done
- "Lemar is the only artist that it is still active on the charts." Use "who", not "that", for people. What do you meen by active?
- Clarified my expression
- Image caption: "Lemar, who finished third in the first series of Fame Academy, has had ten top 40 singles."-->Lemar, who finished third in the first series of Fame Academy, has had ten top-40 singles.
- Done
- Note B needs an inline citation; I couldn't find a general reference that verified it.
- Done
- "He released a single "Higher" in 2008." Couldn't find this in the general ref. Please make sure that anything that isn't backed up by a general ref is backed up via inline citation.
- Done

Sources
- The general references need to be formatted (publisher, accessdate)
- The Guardian should be in italics (ref 8)
- Done
- What makes the following sources reliable?
- http://www.tourdates.co.uk/news/3237-uk-charts-michael-jackson-goes-top-in-scandal-hit-week
- Changed to a BBC reference
- And, the backbreaker: http://www.chartstats.com/songinfo.php?id=30551, although I'm willing to back off if there's truly no alternative. Could http://www.theofficialcharts.com/ be used?
- No, it only lists complete chart entries back until 2005. top40 charts is not reliable and there are no other reliable alternatives.
- Sure there are. There's Guinness Book of British Hit Singles & Albums, The Virgin Book of British Hit Singles, Music Week, and ChartsPlus. TOC also license a number of daily newspapers to publish the Top 40 on a Monday morning. Doesn't NME do them too? You could also use {{cite episode}} for Top of the Pops and the Top 40 radio show on BBC Radio 1.
