List of number-one comedy albums of 2005 (U.S.)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I created the more comprehensive decade lists because I thought it was easier to read a list of albums over the course of a decade than it was a list of 52 dates with about 10-12 albums in them, plus one has to only go to two pages rather than eight for the entire history. But in the end, I've come to realize this topic is not notable as there is no coverage in reliable sources regarding number-one comedy albums. Many of these top comedy albums never even crack the Billboard 200 and rarely break into the top 50, and when they do, that becomes the news, not its placing on a comedy chart, even if number one. There's no article on the chart, just included in a list in Billboard charts. Beyond the publishing of the chart itself, even Billboard doesn't discuss in its updates online or in print. Doesn't seem to meet the requirements for stand-alone lists. There doesn't need to be a list of #1s for every Billboard chart. Nothing wrong with a mention of an album's peak position on the chart in the article for the album, however. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 07:44, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the information is useful and other pages exist like it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kabirat (talk • contribs) 07:19, 4 March 2013‎
- Yes, for charts that have a bit more notability than this one. No one refers to this chart nor what's number one on it in any reliable sources. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 11:06, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
