Alphabetical order
Before we go any further, I'd like to suggest alphabetical order for popular music be by first name of act (ignoring The). I was pleased to receive a chart book some years ago organised along those very lines. Also it's common practice for Portuguese people: many have very long names & it can be hard to tell where the family bit begins - I mention these as mere precedents in case the suggestion sounds weird. It solves the problem of name of group/band versus name of person (Alice Cooper, Manfred Mann) and makes scanning lists far easier. Ro Thorpe 22:28, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
