This article is a hairsbreadth from spam. It's one of a series that seems to have been created by a PR man working for Whitney, or more likely, Vincent, her affluent and influential father. Vincent has liberally promoted his business interests on WP, also. A WP search on "Whitney Wolanin" shows 20 hits. A WP search on "Vincent Wolanin" shows 12 hits. Wake 01:34, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Re citations: I'd like to see who acclaims her besides her father and other paid performers and pr agencies. In addition, there are several Google hits for some variation of Top-Notch Records, and one WP page ( TopNotch_Records). None seem related to Whitney. Wake 03:50, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
I am a radio programmer and Ms. Wolanin has charted a number of songs at our station. She was in the top 10 with songs at our station and on the national AC charts top 10 in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Not many artists so young or at any age can claim this feat and it is apprent that she has a long bright future as a singer/songwriter.

Well, it's been a year or so and Ms. Wolanin has had no public appearances or new releases according to her own website. Evidently she has neither a long nor bright future in this industry. Wake ( talk) 17:56, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Ownership of TopNotch: One reference shows Vincent started TopNotch Entertainment, the other reference says "Her dad, who owns 20 companies, is now her co-producer and adviser. Her records are released on his TopNotch label." Also, on his company's website, TopNotch Entertainment Corp is listed as an "affiliate" and indicates that the name is a "wholly owned [trademark] of Wolanin Companies Ltd. or it's [sic] principals" ( link).
Sales charting: The albums did not chart for sales (only for airplay) and did not win any RIAA awards. Normally that would not be of interest, but since the albums apparently received considerable airplay nationally, it's unusual that the album did not sell well, and therefore a point of interest.
If you have verifiable references from reliable sources that prove otherwise, I will allow the removal of those statements, otherwise they stay. Any removal without references to back it up will be considered vandalism. Precious Roy 10:35, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Note that one of the many anonymous IPs editing this article has been blocked in the past for linkspamming for PrivateSky, another of Vincent Wolanin's companies (and most, if not all, of the rest only edit Whitney Wolanin and related articles). I put the tag on the talk page rather than in the article because I think I've managed to edit out all the exaggerations that were in place when I first read it.

I see that this page has a sustained history of promotional use by single-purpose accounts, including ForceFan2000, Cheekyminx12345, Deefile, and Attorneytec. Wikipedia is not the place to promote yourself, artists you work for, are related to, or are a fan of. Please stop undoing my legitimate edits to the page. If you wish to discuss changes to the article, please do so here on the talk page. Thanks! 72.93.239.198 ( talk) 16:15, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
I was merely coming in correcting the previous edits that were derogatory/defamatory claims against this page. All I have done recently is just post an update on her album release, and her chart position. That was all. Nothing wrong with that, is there?
Also, if you want to be taken seriously, try logging in or creating a name. For all anyone knows, you are the same person that was here before putting defamatory claims before. Not saying you are, but it is suspicious.
