== Canada's Chart Archives (RPM Magazine) == |
|||
It would be fantastic to find some like minded individuals dedicated to the preservation of Canada's rich musical history. As a concert lighting engineer as well as a regular DJ since the 80's, I find myself working frequently with a good number of classic rock artists. Loverboy, Streetheart, Harlequin, The Headpins, Prism, Chilliwack, Doug & The Slugs, Haywire, Trooper, Queen City Kids, Helix, April Wine, Platinum Blonde, Honeymoon Suite, 54-40, Big Sugar, are all band/artists I've worked with in the past year alone. My focus pre & post concert has always been on Canadian content. |
|||
I've spend a good portion of the last 25 years archiving charts. This began with Whitburn books in 1995 & compiling them into a single complete Excel spreadsheet from 1956-present. This led to me taking on the position as a music director for a prominent background music company in Canada, where this information was embedded into the meta tags of .flac files as well as well as .mp4 files. |
|||
When this project began, online access to Canadian charts from RPM & The Record were non existent. As a result US based Billboard serves as the reference point for basically the entire music library. More recently, a number of online sources have appeared for RPM Magazine, none of which are complete. I've yet to see anything from the Record other than print copies I own. With that said these current sources have provided an excellent starting point. |
|||
One tool has been Canada's Library of Archives on-line resource, all poorly scanned .pdf's. Over the past year I've used spare time to embed chart information into my music library. This began with Year End chart positions into an open field within my Tag Editor and have recently began entering in each tracks peak position. Finding lots of errors with the print publication & what's listed on Wikipedia. |
|||
In addition there are a great number of charts from LAC either missing or cross referenced very poorly. I've made some contacts who are working in the background to make this information more readily available and improve on the current product. Earlier today the long missing 1972 Year End RPM chart was forwarded my way from the Library of Archives & I've already used it to make a few alterations on Wikipedia. In doing I've found things can get rather tedious when editing, and this is from someone whose been physically entering chart information for 25 years, so thought I'd turn here for some help. |
|||
Anyways, here I am. If anyone can offer any insight that would be great. Perhaps someone has experience with the creation of another countries chart history, so even if you have no interest in Canadian content, your input may prove invaluable. |
|||
Perhaps there a whole group of people already engaged in this task. If so I'm here to help. Feel free to reach out to me. |
|||
With that said, I currently have zero idea how to check correspondence or if anyone will even see what I've wrote. |

:Hi James, thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. What exactly are you asking for help with – is it creating articles relating to the Canadian charts (they are probably all already here, but could do with improved referencing), or is it adding links for Canadian chart positions for various singles and albums to the ''RPM'' archives at LAC? I notice that you have been adding dates of chart peaks with wording like "Peaked at no. XX on May 26, 1970", but without actually linking it to a particular reference, like an issue of ''RPM''. |
|||
:If the issue of ''RPM'' is available online at LAC, then in the chart table you can add the lines |
|||
::<code><nowiki>{{single chart|Canadatopsingles|PP|chartid=XXXX}}</nowiki></code> (for singles) |
|||
::<code><nowiki>{{album chart|Canada|PP|chartid=XXXX}}</nowiki></code> (for albums) |
|||
:where "PP" is the peak position, and the four-digit <code>chartid</code> is the number immediately following "nlcxxxxx" and then the period/full stop, in the URL for that particular chart. This will show up in the chart table with the following rows for singles and albums, respectively: |
|||
:{|class="wikitable" |
|||
! Chart |
|||
! Peak<br />position |
|||
|- |
|||
{{single chart|Canadatopsingles|28|chartid=2647}} |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
:{|class="wikitable" |
|||
! Chart |
|||
! Peak<br />position |
|||
|- |
|||
{{album chart|Canada|37|chartid=2647}} |
|||
|} |
|||
:and users can click on the URL generated in the reference (see below) which will take them to the relevant page at LAC to be able to check the chart position. |
|||
{{reflist-talk}} |
|||
:If the issue of ''RPM'' is not available at LAC but you have the physical copy in your possession (like the 1972 year-end chart), that's not a problem, but it still needs to be properly referenced, so you'll need to add the code |
|||
::<code><nowiki><ref>{{cite magazine|title=Top Singles of 1972|magazine=RPM|volume=XX|number=XX|page=XX|date=December 31, 1972}}</ref></nowiki></code> |
|||
:which will show up in the references list as |
|||
::{{cite magazine|title=Top Singles of 1972|magazine=RPM|volume=XX|number=XX|page=XX|date=December 31, 1972}} |
|||
:(you'll have to alter the <code>title</code> and <code>date</code> parameters to what they really are, these were just examples). [[User:Richard3120|Richard3120]] ([[User talk:Richard3120|talk]]) 20:41, 7 February 2019 (UTC) |

== PROPHON Bulgarian Top 10 charts == |

== Requested move at [[Talk:Billboard Malaysia Songs#Requested move 7 December 2024]] == |

Hello. Recently one of the leading music collecting societies in Bulgaria. PROPHON made airplay top 10 weekly charts, starting 2017 publicly available in their updated website. Archives can be found [http://www.prophon.org/charts/ here] It's essentially the only official chart of the country. Could someone help me with inserting the peak possitions into the articles of the singles? Thanks [[User:Quickfingers|Quickfingers]] ([[User talk:Quickfingers|talk]]) 07:10, 12 February 2019 (UTC) |

| This is the talk page for discussing WikiProject Record Charts and anything related to its purposes and tasks. |
|
 | This project page does not require a rating on Wikipedia's content assessment scale. It is of interest to the following WikiProjects: | |||||||
| ||||||||
 | This page was nominated for deletion on 29 August 2010. The result of the discussion was Keep. |
|
This page has archives. Sections older than 30 days may be automatically archived by Lowercase sigmabot III when more than 2 sections are present. |
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.
Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.
