[edit] Number-one singles

The songs listed as number-ones are wrong. For example, "Beautiful Liar" by Beyoncé & Shakira was a number-one single for six weeks from May 2007 to June 2007, while "Makes Me Wonder" by Maroon 5 peaked at number five. In adittion, "Hips Don't Lie" CAN'T have only peaked at number one for 3 weeks because it was the #1 song of 2006, so check it up please.McMare's 22:33, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Charts confusion

Eurochart Hot 100 Singles is a U.S. Billboard chart based on sales in Europe. While the Euro 200 is a chart from Europe itself, based in sales obviously from Europe. But the number ones listed here as listed as "Euro Hot 100 Singles" but they are the Euro 200 singles. There has to be some cleaning up in here. --Crunkier21 (talk) 15:09, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. There should be a distinction between the Euro 200 (which is more official) and the U.S. Billboard European Hot 100 Singles. Funk Junkie (talk) 17:11, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
The Euro 200 isn't more official. The list of European number-ones is based on the wrong chart. anemone│projectors 23:36, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
First: The article's name is Eurochart Hot 100 Singles, and the Billboard chart is called European Hot 100 Singles (you said that "this page is about the official Billboard one" when reverting my edit on the page). Second: Billboard is mentioned only once in the whole article, and apparently the Billboard-published chart hasn't been around for that much time. Also, tons and tons of articles about music singles on Wikipedia have the Euro 200 as the official European singles chart. So what makes you think the Billboard European Hot 100 Singles is more official than the Euro 200?

This article is confusing, that's it. Funk Junkie (talk) 17:36, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
That's something we can definitely agree on. anemone│projectors 14:10, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
Damn right! Funk Junkie (talk) 22:32, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
In Billboard magazine, they have been publishing the OFFICIAL European chart for YEARS. This is the least recent article that I could find: "Believe" stands at No. 7 on this week's "official" C.I.N. chart and is No. 1 on Music & Media's Eurochart Hot 100 Singles. The song is No. 52 on The Billboard Hot 100." Meaning that the one from Billboard is the same that Music & Media used to published. Also, this is from the Euro 200 web site: "The Euro 200™ is an independent chart for the 27 states of the European Union compiled by APC-stats. (record sales, paid downloads and between #101 and 200 also airplay data)." Why on earth would we want to use the number one singles from an INDEPENDENT chart? The fact that it says "independent" is enough to claim that the one published by Billboard IS the official. Period. I will eventually add the number one singles according to the Billboard articles.

I don't know if this helps clear it up, but [1] uses the Billboard chart as the 'European' chart rather than the Euro 200The flying pasty (talk) 13:50, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Also, the article says seventeen countries are used to compile the chart, but there's only sixteen listed. Has one been missed off or are there only sixteen countries used? —Preceding unsigned comment added by The flying pasty (talk • contribs) 13:51, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
