Reaches at[edit]

Can someone explain to me if there's a reason why the phrase "reaches at" is in this article? That isn't a construction commonly found in English, but perhaps there's a specific reason it's in this article. Moncrief 01:00, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)

Two questions:
  1. Why are those particular songs mentioned? Are they more "notable" than the others? I'd assume that anything that approached the top of their lists is notable as far as songs go.
  2. Shouldn't there be some mention in these lists about how these songs are chosen? It's certainly not on nationwide sales. Is it the DJs' favorites? The ones they play the most on that station? Requests on that station? As it is it could give the reader the idea that these are the overall most popular songs of each year (sort of like what Billboard supposes it does, discussion on the truth behind that another time). I think it needs clarification if it's going to be included in an encyclopedia. -R. fiend 07:16, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Go-gos and Bangles?[edit]

Hey, I love the Go-Gos and the Bangles, but why are their pictures appropriate for this article? Taterbill (talk) 15:56, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Gender balance. I put them in the section that describes how women were shut out of the top of the list. They were also popular LA bands that never made the top. --evrik (talk) 02:03, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • OK, but isn't that subtle editorializing? You are inserting your own opinion of who deserved recognition.Taterbill (talk) 15:10, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, it's not editorializing. Its not about who deserves recognition. It's about trying to achieve some balance. Have you read, Women in rock? --evrik (talk) 15:33, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
