Today's featured list
Today's featured list is a section included on the Main Page on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, in which an introduction to one of Wikipedia's featured lists is displayed. See this month's queue. The lists appearing on the Main Page are scheduled by the featured list director, currently Giants2008.
To be eligible to appear on the Main Page, a list must already be featured. For more information on the featured list promotion process, please see the featured list candidates, as well as the featured list criteria. In addition, a blurb is drafted, introducing the subject of the list. Blurbs are roughly 1,000 characters in length, with no reference tags, alternate names or extraneous boldface type, although a link to the specified featured list should be emboldened; a relevant picture is also usually included with the blurb. The previous three lists that were featured on the Main Page appear along the bottom, in reverse chronological order. You can submit a list to be scheduled at the submissions page.
At the moment, lists are scheduled by the featured list director or by the featured list delegates, although we will eventually be devising a community-based system for selecting each day's list. We encourage editors to submit and to review as many blurbs as possible. If you notice a problem with an upcoming featured list to appear on the Main Page, please leave a message at the Main Page errors page or on the TFL talk page.

In 1960, fifteen songs topped the Billboard Hot R&B Sides chart, ranking the top-performing songs in the United States in rhythm and blues (R&B) and related African-American–oriented genres; the chart has undergone various name changes over the decades to reflect the evolution of such genres, and since 2005 has been published by Billboard as Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Brook Benton (pictured) spent the most weeks at number one in 1960, with nine consecutive weeks at number one with "Kiddio" between August and October, and another 14 weeks in the top spot with two duets with Dinah Washington – "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)" and "A Rockin' Good Way (to Mess Around and Fall in Love)" – for a cumulative 23 weeks at the top of the chart. Two of 1960's R&B number ones also topped Billboard's all-genre Hot 100 chart: "Cathy's Clown" by the Everly Brothers and "Save the Last Dance for Me" by the Drifters. (Full list...)
