My primary concern is the lack of notability -- nothing in the article implies notability as per WP:NMUSIC, and none of the sources are sufficient for WP:GNG.
The sources listed are all primary sources, links to where the music was played, links to where the music is available for sale on iTunes or Amazon, and other similar stuff. None of the sources provided are independent, reliable sources.
The article itself can be whipped into shape with a little peacock trimming and some copyediting, but if the subject isn't notable... —Darkwind (talk) 03:36, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - If the article were salvageable, the issue of notability would remain and I have found zero appropriate sources despite searching with both Google US and UK news. The only nearly appropriate reference currently listed is the BBC "Top 25 of 2009" which wouldn't be enough to establish notability, considering that it was simply compiled by a reviewer. Aside from this, the other references are either Wikipedia, primary or simply song listings. At this time, it seems like a case of Wikipedia:Blow it up and start over.

- Delete - No secondary sources establish notability. It's that simple. Jschnur (talk) 05:18, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - The article creation appears to be a cut/paste from somewhere else. The article creation included maintenance tags. --Tgeairn (talk) 05:27, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, I believe that the tags may have been transferred if the user copied the infobox from another page. This isn't the first time I've seen this, especially if the user is new and inexperienced. SwisterTwister talk 19:14, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Fails WP:ENTERTAINER, WP:MUSIC, WP:NMUSIC, WP:CREATIVE, WP:AUTO, etc. Also, please block the guy who created the article, as he keeps vandalizing the AfD tag and harassing other users [1]. Thank you. Qworty (talk) 09:56, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
