It says, "American singer Elvis Presley achieved 17 number one songs on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart between 1956 and 1969 prior to his death in August 1977". This is factually wrong since the Hot 100 debuted in August 1958. Either this needs to be corrected or the name of the article needs to be changed. I would recommend a change anyway to something more in line with the dance list. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars Talk to me 14:48, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
As with too many Wikipedia articles on popular music, the bias toward more verbiage for recent hitmakers and less for those more removed in time is in full evidence here. A sentence each on the Beatles, Elvis, the Supremes, and Stevie Wonder, but paragraphs on Michael Jackson, Madonna, Whitney Houston, with the most amount of info on Mariah Carey and Rihanna. This will look strange in the future, as the seemingly prominent of today become the trivia questions of tomorrow. PJtP ( talk) 21:19, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Despite the long standing version, Akhiljaxxn is removing Elvis Presley by providing baseless reasons, he has been already reverted by me and Johndunwory for that. I would ask him to get consensus here first. Also the summaries about Stevie Wonder are irrelevant for this article. Excelse ( talk) 05:30, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
The article is very problematic in terms of content, and the list is already found on List of Billboard Hot 100 chart achievements and milestones. I would support a redirect to that page, without merging any of the existing content. Power~enwiki ( talk) 06:10, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
