Talk:Billboard Year-End

message: It has been proposed that the article Best-selling albums by year (USA) should be merged into this article. I agree, although the information in the source page is far more accurate than what currently exists on this page, and should be used as the information if the merge is approved. (Each of the listed albums includes a cite to the relevant Billboard Year-end chart from the Billboard website.) I will wait ten days, and will interpret a lack of comments as agreement, at which time I will complete the merger. Horologium talk - contrib 20:55, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge Destination

message: I went through all of the Year-End Albums and corrected the numerous errors. I included a link to Billboard's Year-End Chart (from the Billboard website) to establish the accuracy of my changes. The only album for which I don't have a Billboard link is the 2006 album; for that, I have used a cite from E! online. (Owned by Time-Warner, I think they constitute a reliable source for this issue.) 
A quick look at the singles showed a pretty good concurrence with Billboard's charts, but they could use referencing as well. (A project for another day...) - —Preceding unsigned comment added by Horologium (talk • contribs) 22:39, 29 May 2007 
:Thanks for doing this, although I've noticed something interesting... at first glance I reverted your edit because I'm looking at a Billboard reference book (noted in the article) and some of the #1 albums are different.  That doesn't make any sense, considering that both your source and mine is Billboard (me using a Billboard book and you using their website).  I'm going to revert my revert as your version has external sources.  I will re-add Carrie Underwood as 2006's #1, however. - eo 11:44, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Albums List Fixed 

message: What was the biggest selling single this year? It says here "Careless Whisper", but surely it was "We Are the World". According to both article pages, they both were.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 09:39, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This article's header makes it clear that before 1991 points were used rather than actual sales. So that might explain why 'We Are the World' was not the #1 on the year end chart. 82.141.125.215 (talk) 21:28, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  1985 

message: I would consider having year-end charts for the other Billboard charts in this article, such as for the R&B/Hip Hop chart, the Alternative and Mainstream Rock Chart, the Adult Contemporary chart, etc. TreyMarsh20 (talk) 20:55, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Other year-end charts

message: A table perhaps, with each year on its own row, spanning multiple columns?  I'll work on this and try to come up with something a little easier to navigate. - eo (talk) 11:14, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: About to implement a new layout - much easier-to-navigate table by year (no scrolling up and down back and forth for the different genres).  Also cleaned up a large number of incorrect wikilinks and redirects.  Hope this is better for readers. - eo (talk) 17:01, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Billboard Decade-End]] as a parallel to [[Billboard Year-End]] 

message: I'd like to propose highlighting songs that hit number one in each year's table. Using 1990 (my year of birth) as an example, here is what it would look like:
This is a list of Billboard magazine's Top Hot 100 songs of 1990.
 The song hit number-one on the Hot 100 at some point during the calendar year
 The song hit number-one at some point during the previous calendar year (1989)
