- Comment: It only goes from 1990 to this year. The list features several incorrect entries: Razorlight (British/Swedish band whose #1 was called "America"), Shaggy (Jamaican), Akon (Senegalese), Shakira (Columbian), Wyclef Jean (Haitian) and Sean Kingston (Jamiacan). And it also neglects to mention that Neneh Cherry (Swedish), Eric Clapton (British), Westlife (Irish), Dido (British), JXL (Dutch), Sean Paul (Jamiacan), Enya (Irish) and Nelly Furtado(Canadian) who are featured on tracks that are by Americans are not American Doc Strange 14:52, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Your excellent and detailed observation highlights the fact the article needs editing, not deleting. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 04:43, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - lists like this need time to develop properly, it cannot be expected to be perfect and up to date within the first week of creation. (if it becomes abandoned and inaccurate, thats a different story) Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 04:43, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
