Summer Girls

According to Wikipedia's Hot 100 number-one hits of 1999 (USA) article, "Summer Girls" never went to #1 as the article previously stated. According to MSNBC, the song reached #3. Iamvered 20:36, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct as far as I can tell, I believe at the time alot of people reported it as going #1 when it reality it never did, personally I think it's becouse it was such a catchy song almost everyone had heard it and had assumed it was a number one hit, it looks to have already been updated in the article. --Chad 09:15, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article mentions that the song was leaked to 99.5 WIHT, but that's not possible, as that station didn't, techinically, exist at that time. During 1999-2000, they carried an oldies/easy listening format. If anything, the most likely station would have been Z104, 104.7. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.222.180.15 (talk) 14:47, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite

The article seems to be in dire need of a rewrite, but i am not an expert on the subject. random names are dropped with no reference to what role they play in the band or their team. --Bud 05:58, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to see what I can do to make it a better article I know alittle bit about the subject but it'll take some time, if you have any suggestions let me know, Thanks. --Chad 09:08, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The song did go to number one on the billboard sales charts. It went to number 3 on the hot 100 which is determined by sales and radio play combined. To say it was a number one song in correct due to its number one spot on the 1999 sales charts for seven weeks straight. rich —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.171.249 (talk) 00:56, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The standard for posting whether a song went to "#1" seems to be based on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, not sales and not airplay. The song went to #3. 174.99.62.107 (talk) 17:49, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

I can look around but if anyone can find a Photo of the group that is fair use, we should get one up it'll definitly help with the article. --Chad 09:10, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page needs alot of editing. Random name dropping and facts that dont tie in to anything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hybridtheorygfx (talk • contribs) 05:52, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Move to LFO (group)

Once the group actually started, the name Lyte Funky Ones was changed to LFO, and LFO was not intended to retain the original group's name.

- - -

LFO *IS* a group, not *WAS*. Brad is actively touring using the group's name. Brad is active on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Cameo. LFO's socials are active, as well as Brad's personal pages.

He/they are part of the Pop 2000 Tour, NOT the Y2K Tour. The Pop 2000 Tour is still an active tour. https://pop2000tour.com/

- Good spot, this is the older version so anything extra that is valid content from the newer one should be merged here and then the new one redirected here, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 20:39, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - just checked and there's nothing worth merging, so am redirecting Atlantic306 (talk)

The last line reads: Brad Fischetti passed away on March 30th, 2023.[22] This is an error, Brad Gillis passed away, not Fischetti! 209.60.14.81 (talk) 16:10, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove this text from the history section, "In 2000, the band won the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award for favorite group of the year", because this information is false, the Backstreet Boys won and LFO wasn't nominated in that category but they were nominated for "Favorite New Artist"; Please also visit this Wikipedia page for proof, 2000 Kids' Choice Awards. 2603:6081:893D:13AC:DC9B:F3BE:7E8C:6646 (talk) 07:37, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The text has been changed to reflect the nomination in 2000 Kids' Choice Awards; the sentence was not removed. Reconrabbit (talk|edits) 18:56, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Brian Gillis is listed as having died at age 48, per the Los Angeles Times. However, the vast majority of online sources put his age at 47, including Rolling Stone, People, Billboard, and Entertainment Weekly. I believe the L.A. Times made an error. Please change 48 to 47 and update the source appropriately. 75.142.44.26 (talk) 22:01, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
