Sparkle in the Rain
edit- ... that the 1984 Simple Minds album Sparkle in the Rain spent 57 weeks in the UK LP charts?
5x expanded by Laydsb (talk). Nominated by Casliber (talk) at 00:29, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
An enormous expansion, going from 1,160 characters to 16,333. Article is fully referenced with a direct citation for the hook fact. I'm wondering it the hook itself might be better to say "UK Album charts" rather than LP, but I'll leave that up to the person moving to the prep section to decide. More than meets the DYK criteria, I would say that the only thing standing out at the moment which prevents it from being an easy candidate for a Good Article is that the lead could use some expansion. But for DYK, its good to go. I also appreciate Casliber doing a QPQ review when they didn't have to. Miyagawa (talk) 14:13, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
