• "Data was based" Should be "Data were based"

• Changed

• "and was the best-selling album of the year, making it the only album to be the best-seller of two years (1983–1984) in the United States" I think this should be a separate sentence.

• Done

• "Rock band Huey Lewis & the News, released " Comma not necessary.

• Comma removed

• "from other albums like"-->from other albums such as

• Changed

• "In 1984, singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen, released his seventh studio album Born in the U.S.A.." The second comma is not necessary and there is an extra period at the end.

• Fixed

• "Springsteen ignored the musical movements of the Second British Invasion, embracing instead"-->Springsteen ignored the musical movements of the Second British Invasion; instead, he embraced...

• Changed

• "The album stayed four weeks at number one, yielded seven top ten singles and sold more than 7.5 million copies." Comparable quantities should be written out the same, either all figures or all words.

• Done

• "Purple Rain the soundtrack to the film of the same name was the first Prince album recorded with and credited to his backing group The Revolution."-->Purple Rain, the soundtrack from the film of the same name, was the first Prince album to be recorded with and credited to his backing group The Revolution.

• Changed

• "and have constant reminders of Sly Stone, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Little Richard, and Mick Jagger." This is a very vague phrase.

• Changed the phrase

• "the last 22 weeks of the year, sold more than nine million copies" Same comment here about comparable quantities. Dabomb87 (talk) 19:21, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
