[edit] Jean Shepard

Thank you so much for finishing Jean Shepard's singles chart. I knew she had more hit singles, but I couldn't find any of them. Thank you or taking the time to fix that. Would you be able to that for Jan Howard's article too? LovePatsyCline 19:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for doing the same thing to Jan Howard's article! I really appreciate it. Would you mind telling me how found these chart positions? Also, if it's not too much trouble, would you be albe to do the same thing to Goldie Hill's singles chart? Thank you so much!! LovePatsyCline 16:09, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I believe that you have covered Goldie Hill's singles chart because she only charted 5 times during her career. I get my information from Joel Whitburn's Billboard Country Singles 1944-2005 book plus and an older book of his that covers the pop positions of where the country singles charted. Thanks for the kind words, and you are so welcome. I enjoy doing my part in this. How about a discography on Barbara Fairchild? I posted a biography of hers on here. BravesFan2006

[edit] New Response

Thanks for responding back to me. I also enjoy making Country Music articles, as well as making singles charts. Thanks for telling me where you get that information for them. I need to get that book! I get my information from "All Music Guide.com", which doesn't offer a oot of information on some artists. I know I constantly bother you about singles charts, but this is the last time I will ask you. The popular Country singer from the late 70s and early 80s, named Margo Smith is missing a great deal of singles from her chart. Do you mind adding the rest of her singles to Margo Smith's singles chart? I have already added five entires to her singles chart, but there is a lot more that need to go in there, that I can't find. I will definitley make a discography for Barbara Fairchild! Again, thanks for responding!LovePatsyCline 16:01, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Response

Thanks for the kind words. I have posted the singles of Margo Smith on here plus the albums they came from after I saw your message. No, you're not bothering me, actually I'm enjoying this as I'm a fan of classic country music and have been for years. How did you like the biography I wrote about Barbara Fairchild? I made sure that I knew much about her life and her singles and the later years. If you are going to make her discography, make sure to add the U.S. Pop 100 on there, plus the albums in which she had the hits. She made plenty of singles and albums. Again thanks for the kind words. Be hearing from you again. BravesFan2006 00:48, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Great Work!

Thank you so much for finishing Margo Smith's singles chart. I have been wanting to finish it for months. I'm glad I'm not bothering you, I just thought that I was bothering you and taking time away from other articles you would want to fix or work on. You did a great job on the Barbara Fairchild article. You wrote a great deal of stuff about her. If I find anymore information on her biography, I will be sure to add it to your already-made biography on her. I am currently working on her singles chart. I am also adding a musical artist box to her article. I willadd the U.S. Pop 100 to her singles chart, as you said. I will hear from you agin I'm sure. You have no idea how happy you made me that you added more singles to all of these Country singers' charts. Thank you! LovePatsyCline 18:32, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Barbara Fairchild's discography is finished. LovePatsyCline 19:27, 22 March 2007 (UTC)


Thanks a lot for putting Barbara's discography up and adding some to her biography. I even put up a couple more singles and an album that she did. Again, thanks for doing an excellent job. BravesFan2006 02:51, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I am almost finished with Margo Smith's article, except, I am missing some chart numbers for some of her albums. There is only a couple more chart numbers needed. Do you mind adding the rest of her album chart numbers. LovePatsyCline 21:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Margie Singleton

Could you add more charted singles by Margie Singleton? She only has a couple. Also, could you make a singles chart for Kaye Adams? Thanks! LovePatsyCline 00:32, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I just finished Margie Singleton's discography and the only single that Kaye Adams charted with was "Little Pink Mack" which went to #30 in 1966. There is a request I have for you and that is a discography of Billie Jo Spears and do some updating on her biography like when she recorded a song as a teenager called "Too Young For Boys, Too Old For Toys" plus her first recordings for United Artists in 1964. I would appreciate that a lot. Thanks again! BravesFan2006 02:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I will work on the Billie Jo Spears article (including her singles chart and biography that you requested) after I create an article for Janis Martin. When I'm done with Martin's biography, I will probably need a singles chart for Martin's page, being I can't find any information on her. Thanks! LovePatsyCline 22:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Can you add the rest of Janis Martin's singles if you have information on them available. I'm currently working on Billie Jo Spears singles chart.

I don't know very much about Janis Martin, because there isn't a single chart for her in the Billboard Country Singles book. BravesFan2006 00:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me about Janis Martin. It's a shame it's not in your book. I really enjoyed working on Billie Jo Spears' article. I found her #1 hit song "Blanket On the Ground" in the iTunes store and really enhjoy listening to it. LovePatsyCline 14:45, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Carl Smith

Do you mind finishing my singles chart for Carl Smith? There are many singles missing, and I would realy appreciate if you finished them for me. Thanks! LovePatsyCline 18:14, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bonnie Guitar

Thanks for adding the rest of the singles chart to the Carl Smith page. Could add more singles to the Bonnie Guitar singles chart, including her last charting single in 1980 called "Honey On the Moon". Thanks! LovePatsyCline 17:30, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deborah Allen

I really thank you for making singles charts for Carl Smith and Bonnie Guitar, two very important figures in Country Music. I have another singles chart you can finish. Country-Pop singer, Deborah Allen is missing a couple charted singles from her singles chart. Could you add the needed singles to her singles chart. Thank you! LovePatsyCline 22:28, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for finishing the singles chart for Deborah Allen. You always do a great job. I just noticed though, that Melba Montgomery is missing a lot of charted singles from her singles chart. Could you finish her singles chart for me? Again, thanks for all you help. LovePatsyCline 23:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Once again, thanks for finishing the singles chart. If there are any more charted singles by Mleba Montgomery in the 60s & 70s, including her last charted single, could add them? Thank you.LovePatsyCline 19:48, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jody Miller

Why did they put in a person that is a personal name of somebody someone knows when they took out the country singer Jody Miller out of the system?

BravesFan2006 11:27, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Response About Jody Miller

Sorry about not responding to your previous question. Next time, you should talk to me about this on may talk page so I get the message right away. I can't imagine why someone did that with Jody Miller, obviously, they have no idea what they are doing, and they should realize they can't just leave it like that. I will take a look at the page again and fix what they did wrong. Must be somebody new to Wikpedia.

Could add the rest of Jessi Colter's charted singles to her singles chart, including her last charted single as a solo artist. Thank you! LovePatsyCline 21:05, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Already finished Jessi Colter's discography

I have already finished Jessi's discography with her last charted song (so far) "Holdin' On" reaching number 70 in 1982. I enjoy doing this. BravesFan2006 23:25, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Jody Miller's discography

I would like to see Jody Miller's discography with her pop hits included. Thanks. BravesFan2006 23:28, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Response

Tomorrow, I am planning on working on Jody Miller's dicography page (May 22). Sorry about not messaging back to you, I've been quite busy. If you are able to, could you make a complete listing of charted singles by Country singer, Ava Barber, who had her biggest hit with "Bucket to the South" in 1978. Thanks! LovePatsyCline 22:35, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Half Done

Jody Miller's singles chart is done. I'm now working on her albums chart. LovePatsyCline 20:37, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Judy Rodman

Could you finish the singles chart for Judy Rodman for me? I only have one song on there, which went to #1 called "Until I Met You". Could also include Rodman's last charted single as well? Thanks a million! LovePatsyCline 22:19, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question

You seem pretty well versed in country music, so you might know this one -- do you happen to know the last name of songwriter Kostas? (He wrote "Timber, I'm Falling in Love" and "Blame It on Your Heart".) I've been trying to search, but to no avail seeing as Kostas is a VERY common name. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 13:12, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About Kostas

TenPoundHammer, I think that Kostas is an abbreviated form of his last name. He is of Greek origin and I think his last name is something like Kostapolius or something close to it. Don't know about what his first name is. BravesFan2006 20:05, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I Have a Question

Looking through articles of female Country singers and their history, I have noticed you have contributed to their singles charts over the past number of months. I was wondering that if you could be so kind as to add some singles I can not find anywhere for Kitty Wells' singles chart. I need singles between the years of 1953 and 1955. That would be very helpful if you could do such a thing. If you feel really inclined you can add some other singles that I also can't find from the late 60s and early 70s. It would be greatly appreciated if you would do so. Thank you. Dottiewest1fan 14:20, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia.

Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Thank you. Admc2006 09:03, 3 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] New Response To Rascal Flatts

The new album "Still Feels Good" topped both the country and Pop 200 this week and they said so as early as Monday and was announced on a radio station in San Antonio as they read this from Hit Predictor (a music website). Also check out today's Billboard online when they update this morning (Wednesday) for official confirmation [www.billboard.com] BravesFan2006 07:20 CST, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cristy Lane, Jeannie Seely

I knwo it has been since August last time I spoke to you, but thank you for adding those important singles to Kitty Wellss article. I am wondering if you could finish the singles charts for both Cristy Lane and Jeannie Seely. Many singles are missing from both their singles charts, and I have no idea where they can be found. Do you mind adding them? Dottiewest1fan 21:33, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Things That Never Cross a Man's Mind

Kellie Pickler's song is at #33 this week at Billboard (November 24th chart) not #39 (November 17th's chart position). Also this did NOT come from Mediabase. Thank you. BravesFan2006 12:39 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chart positions and sources

Thanks for all your hard work on song articles, but please note that HitPredictor is not the same as the final, weekly Billboard or Radio & Records charts. Please wait for the charts to be published before updating positions, as there needs to be a reliable source. Thanks! - eo (talk) 20:33, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Again, please do not update charts positions based on HitPredictor, as you did here - the most recently published chart at Billboard (dated 11/24) has the song at number 8. Please wait for charts to be published and confirmed before adding unsourced info. Thanks. - eo (talk) 20:44, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
I agree with EO here. Please try not to use Hit Predictor from now on, as it's not always spot-on -- it's all right to wait until Wednesday when the full chart's posed on R&R's website. You can still use the R&R weekly chart highlights section, however. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 20:50, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks BF2006 and TPH - yes, I realize Hit Predictor and Billboard/R&R are related, however, they still aren't the final, published chart so we need to just hang on a couple extra days til everything is confirmed. - eo (talk) 20:56, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Guess I'll just let you guys (Eric and TenPoundHammer) do the official chart numbers yourselves from now on since there is going to be trouble over it. Thanks. - BravesFan2006 (talk) 21:07, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Loretta Lynn

I never got to thank you for making the singles for Kitty Wells, so now I'd like to say thank you. I have another thing you can do. Loretta Lynn is missing a couple of singles that I think charted from her early years, like "Whispering Sea" from her days at Zero records and others from that time. Also after 1985's "Heart Don't Do This to Me", could you also finish the singles there, because I think there are a lot also missing there that charted outside the Top 40. All you have to do is add them to her singles chart by going to her new, Loretta Lynn discography page I created. I would really appreciate your help in finishing this. Thank you (Dottiewest1fan 23:40, 2 December 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Kieran Kane

Could you please do me a favor and look up the chart history for Kieran Kane? I'm about to make I have made a page on him, but All Music Guide and LPDiscography.com are giving me conflicting information regarding the peak positions of his singles.

[edit] Bill Anderson singles missing

Hi again, I have a problem with Bill Anderson's page. He has a lot of singles that I know definitley charted, that are missing, from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Could you add all of them. They are really important to his article. I am working on his article right know because it is an absoulute mess. Thank you and happy holidays! Dottiewest1fan (talk) 18:24, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kippi Brannon

I just created an article on Kippi Brannon. I know you get asked this a lot, but could you please do me a favor and verify the peak positions for her singles? Her All Music Guide bio says she charted in the 1980s, but I can't find any proof. Thanks! Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 15:23, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Finished doing the discography of Kippi Brannon and included the chart positions of her first 3 chart singles in 1981-1982. The songs that charted in 1997 are exactly right. BravesFan2006 10:51 CST, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Martha Carson singles

Hi BravesFan2006! I just created a page on Gospel-Country 50s star, Martha Carson. Do You know the chart positions of her singles, including 1951's "Satisfied" (which crossed over into the Pop charts, so I hear). If you have her charted singles, could you add them to my porrly-made singles chart on her page? Thank you! Dottiewest1fan (talk) 00:17, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ronnie McDowell

I need your help again. Could you please do me a favor and complete the singles table I just added to Ronnie McDowell? Most of his albums aren't listed on All Music Guide, so I can't tell what song was on what album; I think I've also got a few songs out of order but I'm not certain. Thanks!

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Carrie Underwood discography, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles.

If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add your reference to the article. Thank you. σмgнgσмg(talk) 09:24, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

With regards to the edit you did in the article relating to Last Name, I want to clarify to you why I've changed your edits. The single hasn't been offically released and hence, has not charted on the Billboard Country Music charts. Also, while it has peaked #46 on the Radio and Records charts, it isn't an offical charting, so I've just added a side note to it. Leave a message on my talk page if you want to discuss this further. Cheers. σмgнgσмg(talk) 11:23, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Nope, I just checked the Billboard Country Charts. They aren't the same. σмgнgσмg(talk) 11:47, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Life in a Northern Town

As far as I can tell, Life in a Northern Town isn't a single for Sugarland, just a video. The song features Little Big Town and Jake Owen, both of whom are on different labels than Sugarland, and I just can't imagine three different labels banding together for one single -- especially not if it's two majors and an indie. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 20:47, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Unless the single version will be a different version that features Jennifer and Kristian and background singers than the one in the video that has Little Big Town and Jake Owen. On Mediabase (which has the single at #60 today (Friday)), it lists only Sugarland and not Sugarland featuring Little Big Town and Jake Owen. We will have to wait until Monday and see if Life in a Northern Town debuts on the 3/28/2008 weekly country chart highlights before we can list it. Has anyone heard this song on the radio? BravesFan2006 talk 04:49, CDT, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Given that Life in a Northern Town is available on iTunes, I suppose that it could just be getting unsupported airplay. That's the most likely case, considering that all three acts are getting billed. Like I said before, I can't imagine three different labels wanting to split artist credits three ways. If it does get enough airplay to reach Top 40 in a few weeks, I suppose they could bill it to Sugarland and Friends, just like the case with Jimmy Buffett and all those other guys on "Hey Good Lookin'".

[edit] Lacy J. Dalton

I'm having a problem with Lacy J. Dalton's page. I want to make a singles table of all the singles she ever released, but I want to be accurate. I don't know the exact years her singles were released and that's why I haven't made a singles chart yeat (although I really want to). Can you make one for me for her page of all her singles? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Dottiewest1fan (talk) 21:46, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Timbaland

Please don't add to trivia sections. They detract from the quality from an article, and any verifiable information in them should be included in the article text itself, not lumped into a trivia section. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 20:27, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

A question: How can I put it in words about Weezer's mention of Timbaland in their song "Pork and Beans" without a trivia section? The song has in its lyrics "Timbaland knows the way to reach the top of the charts." I can't lump it in anywhere else, probably wouldn't make any sense by doing it in a personal article. Braves Fan 2006 (BravesFan2006) 03:38 PM., 30 April 2008 (UTC)
I'd say don't add it at all. The fact that artist X mentioned artist Y in a song is just trivia, and very unlikely to be verified, even if it is a compliment in song like that. Ray Scott name-dropped a bunch of artists in "My Kind of Music", and similarly, there's no need to mention the name-dropping in any article. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 04:56, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] re: Weezer

My issue is that we are attributing a number-one position to the song according to Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks, yet the very source we should be using hasn't published their May 17 chart. If one were to go to Billboard's website, "Pork and Beans" is #3. [2] If one were to go to Radio & Records site, "Pork & Beans" is #3. [3] Sometimes Billboard will announce the #1's on some of their charts a day early, which is great, but I think that if this encyclopedia states "this song is #1 in Billboard" then it should be backed up with a Billboard source with the corresponding issue date, rather than a weekly highlights article in Radio & Records. - eo (talk) 19:25, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. Can I post on Wednesday afternoon when the Radio and Records Alternative charts come out because the Radio and Records Alternative charts are the same thing as the Billboard Modern Rock Track Charts because Radio and Records and Billboard are one and the same chart now and has been since 2005? Thanks.- BravesFan2006 (talk) 2:36 PM, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I don't see a problem with that. I think maybe what should be worked on/explained further is the real connection with Billboard and R&R.... I mean, in terms of the casual reader who may not be familiar with them and how they are now basically the same thing. I'll check out the articles for both publications to see how things are worded. I think one of the most frustrating things they do is publish several of the radio charts earlier in R&R, complete with different issue dates, then the same stuff appears nearly a week later in Billboard... yet in general people reference Billboard when talking about charts, not R&R. Anyhoo, succession boxes are real easy, I can help you with that, or you can just copy/paste an already-existing one from a different article then just substitute in all the titles, artists and dates. - eo (talk) 19:56, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey again - the Weezer position was confirmed today [4] so I'll leave them for you to update if you want  :-) - eo (talk) 15:19, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
