I've listed this article for peer review because I want to nominate this to featured list and I want to see if there's anything else that needs to be done before I nominate this. I used the List of number-one Billboard Top Latin Albums from the 1990s as my basis.

Quick comments from Adabow (talk · contribs)

There should not be any space in between the end of a sentence and a reference.
The second half of the lead seems a bit choppy; merge some paragraphs to improve the readability and flow of the prose.
Sort artists' names using {{sortname}}
You'll need to fix the dab link and the dead link

Ruhrfisch comments: I agree with all of the above comments. I think this would be a quick fail a FLC in its current state; here are some suggestions for improvement.

A model article is useful for ideas and examples to follow - List of number-one Billboard Top Latin Songs from the 1980s is a FL and seems like an ideal model.
Watch WP:OVERLINKing, for example José José isl inked twice in the lead - it is OK to link him every time in the lsit as it is a sortable table.
I would say how often other Billboard charts are published (assume every week) in The data for this chart was published every two weeks, unlike most Billboard charts.
I am not sure what this means One album peaked at number one in the first year of publication: Reflexiones, by Mexican singer José José. Since the first calendar year of publication was 1985, and there were three albums on the chart in 1985, it makes no sense to me. Even less sense if the first year of existence of the chart is meant (since there were 6 albums at number one in the first year of the chart).
WP:LEAD says the lead should be four paragraphs at most - this is currently seven, but the last five are one sentence each, and could be combined.
The prose is rough and needs a copyedit. One example: The Latin Pop Chart was the first of the Latin charts along with, Regional Mexican Albums and Tropical Albums, to be released from Billboard. would be better as something like The Latin Pop Chart was the first of three Latin charts, along with Regional Mexican Albums and Tropical Albums, to be released by Billboard. or even The first three Latin album charts released by Billboard were Latin Pop, Regional Mexican, and Tropical.
A few more images of artists could be included along the right side of the article.

Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article).
