Name:
Is his name legally "Jon Stewart", or is it just a stage name, and his legal name remains "Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz"? I'd like some clarification, since the text isn't entirely clear on this. Harizotoh9 (talk) 15:49, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

 * The article currently says "He had his surname legally changed to Stewart in 2001" in the "Early life" section although the source appears dead (plenty of other sources available on Google though, e.g. ). Regards  So Why  16:13, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Category:The Daily Show
You removed Jon Stewart from the Category:The Daily Show - twice now, since I restored it. You also removed current host Trevor Noah and previous host Craig Kilborn from that category, which I also challenge. Your argument, on removing it from Jon Stewart the second time, was "people aren't generally categorized under their works". But this isn’t a matter of somebody’s "work", as in a book they wrote. People who headlined a particular show, and for a time were synonymous with it, ARE categorized with that show. Please see Category:The Price Is Right, Category:The Tonight Show, Category:Jeopardy!, Category:Let's Make a Deal, etc., and you will see that such hosts ARE categorized under the show they hosted. And before you go removing any more such hosts, I want to see the basis for your assertion that hosts known for hosting particular shows are not categorized under those shows. Where is the consensus you are basing this on? -- MelanieN (talk) 02:36, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm going by Overcategorization, specifically this part: Note also that performers should not be categorized into a general category which groups topics about a particular performance venue or production (e.g. Category:Star Trek), when the specific performance category would be deleted (e.g. Category:Star Trek script writers).

Appearance on Colbert/Lab leak comments
Should something be included? There's a lot of coverage.

SmolBrane (talk) 06:48, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I made a BOLD edit on this. I chose to link to the origins of COVID rather than the misinformation page simply because Jon Stewart stated "This is not a conspiracy" during the interview and this is a BLP.  Some sources(perhaps all?) do characterize his comments as reflective of the conspiracy theory.  SmolBrane (talk) 03:38, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I just deleted the edit you made. It provided zero context, only said he made "controversial statements". We are not a news site. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:43, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. SmolBrane (talk) 18:06, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * (And other interested parties) This event has received additional coverage since, perhaps we can revisit notability/DUEness here. I agree that more context is likely needed.

 * -SmolBrane (talk) 15:43, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I remain 100% opposed to adding any mention of this. It's WP:UNDUE. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:20, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Fox News wrote another article on this after Hollywood Reporter had an interview with Stewart. Paul Waldman also wrote an opinion article on this back in June.  He said that “[Jon] has every right to go on as many talk shows as he wants and explain his coronavirus theories. But his attack on expertise reminds us why expertise is so important.“  In the New Statesman article above, the author states that “public sentiment in the West is shifting. This started to become clear when the comedian Jon Stewart – the former host of The Daily Show, a comedic institution for progressive America – appeared on a talk show in June this year and expressed his support for the lab leak hypothesis.”  While these are opinions, perhaps these strong statements would contribute to DUEness.  If not, I'd love to hear what DUEness would be, since I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what it would look like.  I've read the NPOV policy.

 * https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/06/15/jon-stewarts-rant-is-reminder-dont-rely-celebrities-covid-19-theories/ -SmolBrane (talk) 04:05, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * WP:FOXNEWS is not a reliable source for American politics or science. An opinion piece from June is nothing new. The Fox News piece itself acknowledges that he was doing a bit. Comedians do bits. There is no story here. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:49, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that this is adequately political or scientific to exclude Fox on that basis. Mostly this is a conversation between two media personalities on a media show, about an issue that is also political and scientific in nature.  Is Fox reliable for bits?  Is it a noteworthy bit?  If I see another perennial source write an article on it in a month, will it be noteworthy then?  Asking honestly here.  SmolBrane (talk) 18:28, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The Intercept(Sharon Lerner) mentioned Jon Stewart's comments in an investigative report, from Oct 6: “There was also, I think, pretty early on a recognition that as — Jon Stewart has famously called attention to — that there was a lab in Wuhan, the very city that was the place where the pandemic began, that was looking into the very viruses that were similar to the one that had caused the pandemic.”
 * https://theintercept.com/2021/10/06/intercepted-covid-origins-lab-leak/

 * Salon observed on Oct 9 that Alina Chan paraphrased Jon Stewart: “The coincidence suggested by Bloom was pushed even harder by Alina Chan, a postdoctoral fellow at the Broad Institute and co-author of a book called "Viral: Search for the Origin of Covid-19." Chan, who spent much of the debate criticizing the Chinese government's unwillingness to cooperate with researchers and investigators, described her position by paraphrasing a quote from the comedian Jon Stewart.
 * "In 2019, a novel SARS coronavirus, with a novel genetic modification, appeared in a city where there's a lab studying novel SARS coronaviruses with novel genetic modifications," she said.”
 * https://www.salon.com/2021/10/09/lab-leak-or-natural-spillover-leading-scientists-debate-19s-origins/

 * Both Salon and The Intercept have their biases noted on the perennial sources list, but both these articles seem reasonably written and I'm not seeing reasons to dismiss them. NPOV policy would suggest that we should include content on this: “Keep in mind that, in determining proper weight, we consider a viewpoint's prevalence in reliable sources, not its prevalence among Wikipedia editors or the general public.”

 * There is little evidence that this commentary is an extreme enough minority to exclude on the basis of NPOV. Many of these articles recognize the notability of Stewart's comments, as you can see from the quotes I have provided.   I would appreciate a more substantive response, if for no other reason than for my education as an editor—I do not see the objections that you seem to regard as obvious given the subjective nature of NPOV and DUE.  Also, you did not comment on the notability of the non-Fox sources, of which there are now at least ten.  SmolBrane (talk) 17:06, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Lab leak comments are still NOTNEWS?
Another reliable source, from three days ago... https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/10/03/jon-stewart-new-show-514924 "Stewart might be holding back some of his more unpopular, potentially cancel-worthy thoughts — especially after a high-profile tiff with Colbert and his liberal viewers, after endorsing the coronavirus lab-leak theory on Colbert’s program. " -SmolBrane (talk) 17:34, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Pinging out of courtesy since I opened a NPOV noticeboard discussion on this.  SmolBrane (talk) 17:49, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Found another source, https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jon-stewart-coronavirus-wuhan-lab_n_60c835ace4b07e543bbd50fe, still from last year. Perhaps in time this content will become LASTING but I'm not making an addition at this time. SmolBrane (talk) 01:06, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Revisiting Lab Leak comments
Sorry for the delay but I've gotten better at finding sources. Here are four more reliable sources on the matter:

 * https://www.vulture.com/2021/06/jon-stewart-on-stephen-colbert-lab-leak-theory.html
 * https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/559265-jon-stewart-shows-late-night-conformity-cabal-how-political-comedy-is-done
 * https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/2021/08/30/jon-stewarts-apple-tv-series-to-premiere-in-september/?sh=607f823c259b
 * https://www.menshealth.com/health/a36749251/lab-leak-theory-wuhan-covid-19-explained-doctor-mike-hansen/

I'm seeing coverage here from June to October of last year, I think this is lasting enough, and the sourcing is definitely sufficient. you didn't reply last time I replied to you with additional sources, do you still object to inclusion here? SmolBrane (talk) 23:01, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * This again? I didn't realize that you were still trying to include a joke bit from a late night talk show in this page. You have found many sources, but yes I object to adding this. People have moved on, now it's about him defending Joe Rogan on his podcast, or whatever he actually said.
 * Since nobody is participating in any discussion on this topic but you and me, creating a stalemate, you can seek more input with a Request For Comment that will bring people in to weigh in. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:27, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Not again, still. I'm a parttime editor, what can I say.  Your last objection was that FOXNEWS isn't a good enough source, so I found more, then you didn't reply to my ping.  This two minute bit generated an awful lot of noise in reliable sources for four months, so the significant coverage in reliable sources seems adequate.  I may pursue an RfC or perhaps wait for the lab leak business to shake out and see if this incident gets revisited by an RS, thus proving its LASTING nature.  Thank you for clarifying nonetheless.  SmolBrane (talk) 03:52, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Proposed edit
In June 2021, Stewart made an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where he made controversial statements  suggesting a possible lab leak origin for COVID-19. -SmolBrane (talk) 16:41, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Conspiracy theorist
On including Stewart in a “conspiracy theorist” category: only The Independent actually characterizes Jon Stewart's statements as a conspiracy theory, the other sources are much less critical. This BLP doesn't include any content explicitly calling him a conspiracy theorist, and Stewart denied it. I believe it is inappropriate to categorize Jon Stewart this way. SmolBrane (talk) 09:21, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I came here to initiate a conversation on this user, good to see it has already begun. Also note that AnimalParty is arguing at Talk:Ricky Schroder that the covid conspiracy theorist is not defining and wants it removed, despite reliable sources covering multiple of Schroder's anti-mask activities. Here, the category appears to have been added due to coverage for answers Stewart gave in an interview. One could easily draw the conclusion here that the tagging or not-tagging is being done according to a political bias, but, hopefully AnimalParty can clear that up. Zaathras (talk) 11:20, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I have no political bias, just as no editors have any bias whatsoever. The deliberate spreading of misinformation is a cornerstone of being a conspiracy theorist. I'm just trying to be fair. --Animalparty! (talk) 16:07, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The claim that you (or any other editor) have no political bias is prima facie absurd. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 17:03, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Again, the BLP does not contain content suggesting that Stewart is a conspiracy theorist. I would suggest that you include The Independent's claims in the article before we categorize him as such.  And Stewart specifically stated “this is not a conspiracy” so there could be a larger BLP issue at hand.  Ultimately though, this category may get deleted as per its talk page in the coming days.  SmolBrane (talk) 18:00, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You guys are too smart for me. This was a joke to illustrate the subjectivity and capriciousness of categorizing people as "conspiracy theorists" or "activists" based on isolated recent events. I apologize. It was ill-advised. If you're interested, please see the discussions at Categories for discussion:COVID-19 conspiracy theorists. Cheers, --Animalparty! (talk) 02:19, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Just so we're crystal-clear here; you added the "COVID-19 conspiracy theorists" category to the Jon Stewart article not because you actually feel he should be categorized as such, but rather to make a point about the category. Yes? Zaathras (talk) 03:18, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Sounds like someone asking to have his editing privileges suspended. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 03:29, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ...Maybe work on your set-ups a bit. SmolBrane (talk) 06:51, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Lab leak comments remain due, lasting coverage
I encourage editors to reflect on the lab leak comments by Stewart, as this received lasting coverage  just a couple sources there, but there are many from the past year. SmolBrane (talk) 15:52, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Occupation
The opening sentence stating his occupation has grown way too long. There's a tendency to stuff this sentence with a listing of every thing they ever did, in a kind of breathless adoration of how they "did it all" or to list each of their credits like IMDB. That's not what the lede is supposed to do. Our goal should be to be brief and direct as we can, to explain to the reader "why is this person noteworthy?" MOS:ROLEBIO says (emphasis added) "The noteworthy position(s) or role(s) the person held should usually be stated in the opening paragraph. However, avoid overloading the lead paragraph with various and sundry roles; instead, emphasize what made the person notable. Incidental and non-noteworthy roles (i.e. activities that are not integral to the person's notability) should usually not be mentioned in the lead paragraph."

With that in mind: Stewart has worn a number of hats over the course of his career, but he's famous for only a few of them. For example, being an actor is not one of them. He's mostly famous for The Daily Show, and the roles he's played in connection with it: comedian, show host, political commentator. Every other job he did for the show (writing, producing, directing) was either in support of that or a spin-off of that, or it was a side gig that isn't what makes him notable. And an "activist" is just a political commentator who gets results. Jason A. Quest (talk) 01:29, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Again, this opening sentence got too long, and I cut it. It's not just the lead paragraph: MOS:FIRST Try to not overload the first sentence by describing everything notable about the subject. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:23, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Career 1986–1992: Standup and early career
In the last paragraph of the section it states: "Stewart said that his career did not take off until his March 6, 1992, appearance on NBC's Late Night with David Letterman. He was considered to take over the show when Letterman left it, but it was given to relatively unknown Conan O'Brien." The citation is unreliable. Late Night with David Letterman was not on NBC, but CBS. Letterman didn't leave until 2015. Also, Conan O'Brien did not replace Letterman. That was Stephen Colbert. O'Brien replaced Jay Leno on The Tonight Show for seven months then was replaced by Leno who came back. 172.254.183.68 (talk) 13:51, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Late Night with David Letterman was on NBC from 1982 to 1993. Late Show with David Letterman was on CBS from 1993 to 2015. Conan O'Brien took over 'Late Night' after Letterman left.
 * That said, the source here is completely unreliable; I'll replace it with a valid one. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 18:19, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Is it McDonald, or MacDonald?
A number of Linux "history" books have him as Peter McDonald, as do a number of web pages dealing with the early history of Linux. Anyone know for sure which spelling is correct? Moorcito

It is Peter MacDonald, I have sent E-Mails to him and his Name when he replys shows up as "Peter MacDonald" -Tobin M

I can second that it is 'Peter MacDonald', I have worked with him for a few years. -Travis O — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.69.10.202 (talk) 17:19, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

ELF migration incorrect
I used SLS back in the day, and I'm rather certain that it never even attempted to migrate from a.out to ELF. It lost its user base because it was buggy (installer, toolchain, etc) and did not live up to its advertising (IIRC Windows compatibility as touted as a feature). I have therefore removed that particular point from the article. Of course, if my memory is playing tricks on me and SLS did actually go to ELF, feel free to revert my edit -- but please cite reference. -- Chris —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.230.48.50 (talk) 06:55, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Simeon Rice

Simeon James Rice (born February 24, 1974) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive end in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Illinois Fighting Illini and was selected by the Arizona Cardinals third overall in the 1996 NFL draft.

In his 12-year NFL career, Rice recorded 122 sacks, forced 25 fumbles, recovered 8, and intercepted 5 passes. His sacks rank 20th all-time in NFL. In his first eight out of 10 seasons in the NFL, Rice recorded at least 10 sacks and in three of those seasons he recorded at least 15 sacks. He earned three Pro Bowl selections and earned a Super Bowl ring with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl XXXVII, beating the Oakland Raiders. He has also played for the Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts, and New York Sentinels.

Early life
Rice attended Mount Carmel High School on Chicago's south side, the same school as former NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb and former NBA star Antoine Walker. Simeon Rice was born February 24, 1974, in Chicago, Illinois. He was the second born of five children. His family lived in a 5 bedroom house on Chicago’s south side. His father worked on the assembly line at Ford Motor Company and his mother was a Special Education school teacher who worked with troubled children.

Rice first became interested in football while playing pickup games with his brother in their neighborhood. His father knew that his son had the physical gifts of speed, size and strength to be a great athlete, but he insisted that Simeon understand the importance of hard work. When the time came for Simeon to attend high school, his parents sent him to Mt. Carmel, an all-boys Catholic school about an hour from where the Rice family lived. The school had a history of winning state championships. The school was so successful that the University of Notre Dame was consistently making recruiting visits.

Rice began his career at Mt. Carmel as a running back. The roster was so deep that Coach Frank Lenti moved Simeon to tight end and defensive end before his junior season. Simeon fought the move, purposely dropping passes and missing tackles in practice. He still did not see much action in games. Before his senior season, Coach Lenti had a talk with Simeon and told him there was still time to be great at football, but he had to accept that he was better suited for defense. His senior season, he got better with every game, starting with the first game of the season against Joliet Catholic and their star running back, Mike Alstott. In the state championship game, with Mt. Carmel trailing, Simeon had a sack that caused a turnover which gave the team the momentum to mount a comeback victory. Throughout the season, Coach Lenti advocated for schools to recruit Simeon, but few listened. Simeon wound up at the University of Illinois for college.

College career
After three days of practice, University of Illinois defensive coordinator Denny Marcin told Rice’s parents that their son was destined for greatness. He knew what greatness looked like after coaching Lawrence Taylor at North Carolina. In the third game of the season, Rice sacked Houston quarterback Jimmy Klingler three times and was named ABC’s Player of the Game. That season, he had 9 sacks, a school record for a freshman and was voted the Big Ten rookie of the year. Simeon’s sophomore season was a disappointment for him and the team. Meanwhile, he studied hard and picked up extra credits in an attempt to graduate early. His junior season the team finished 6–5. Rice was a member of what was considered the best linebacker group in the country. His fellow linebacker Dana Howard won the Butkus award for best linebacker in the country. Kevin Hardy, another linebacker on the team, was named the team MVP. Rice had 16 sacks, a school record, and was named a 2nd team All-American. Perhaps his finest game of the season was against Washington State. He had 5 sacks, blocked a field goal, and recovered a fumble. By November, teams were devising special blocking schemes to keep Rice out of the backfield.

After the season, Mel Kiper of ESPN said that Simeon may be the top pick in the draft if he decided to leave school early. His head coach Lou Tepper called around to NFL teams that said that if Rice was selected in the first round, it would not be until the later half. With this information, Rice decided to stay for his senior year. The school attempted to create buzz for Rice to be considered for the Heisman Trophy, but that buzz was killed by their inability to score points. The team finished 5–5–1, but Simeon had another fine season with 12.5 sacks. That season, he became the Big Ten’s all-time sack leader and finished his degree on time. His intelligence, maturity, an unquestioned ability to rush the quarterback and a 4.5 second time in the 40 yard dash made Rice a sure-fire first round draft choice.

Pre-Draft
He attended the NFL Combine and was measured at 6'4" and weighing 259 pounds. After claiming he could run a 4.5 40-yard dash, he was timed as running it in 4.66 seconds.

Arizona Cardinals
In the 1996 NFL draft, Rice was selected in the first round with the third overall pick by the Arizona Cardinals. He was selected after Keyshawn Johnson and Kevin Hardy. After a contract dispute that lasted through training camp, Rice signed a 4-year, $9.5 million deal. Lining up at defensive end, Rice’s first snap as a pro resulted in a tackle for a 2-yard loss on Indianapolis Colts running back Marshall Faulk. At the end of September, Rice had 5 sacks and was named NFL defensive rookie of the month. At the end of the season, Rice had 12.5 sacks which tied a rookie record and he was voted NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year by the Associated Press. In Rice’s second season with the Cardinals, they finished 4-12. The fans grew impatient with the team. Rice himself lost the admiration of the fans by playing semi-professional basketball for the Philadelphia Power of the USBL. He played 11 minutes a game averaging 2.5 points and was paid $400 a game. In Rice’s third season, the Cardinals made the playoffs and won their first post-season game since 1947. That season Rice had 10 sacks, 23 quarterback pressures, and 4 fumble recoveries. The following year, the team slipped to 6-10 in part because of injuries to many of their star players. Despite the team’s poor play, Rice had 16.5 sacks and was named to his first Pro-Bowl. The next season, the year 2000, Rice was due a big pay increase, but the contract negotiation kept him off the field until the second game of the regular season. Rice had 7.5 sacks and the Cardinals fell to 3-13. At the end of the season, Rice was a free agent and was anxious to go to a new team.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed Rice to a 5-year deal worth more than $30 million. He joined a defense that carried Tampa Bay to the playoffs the year before. His first season as a Buccaneer, Rice had 64 tackles and 11 sacks and the Buccaneers made the playoffs, but fell to the Philadelphia Eagles, 31-9. After the loss, head coach Tony Dungy was fired. The Buccaneers traded two 1st round picks and two 2nd round picks to the Oakland Raiders for Jon Gruden. Gruden’s high-energy style and the addition of Keenan McCardell and Michael Pittman to the offense helped the Buccaneers reach the Super Bowl. They beat the Oakland Raiders 48-21 for the first Super Bowl victory in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' history. Rice had 5 tackles and 2 sacks in the Super Bowl and 15.5 sacks on the season, including 11 sacks in a 5-game span. Over the next 3 seasons, the Buccaneers only had one with a winning record and lost the only playoff appearance they had. Rice had impressive seasons, recording 15, 12, and 14 sacks. The 2006 season saw the Buccaneers fall to 4-12 and Rice only had 2 sacks in 8 games played. He finished the second half of the season on injured reserve and was released by the Buccaneers before the start of the next season because of a failed physical.

2007
In what would be his final season in the NFL, Rice played 6 games for the Denver Broncos with 5 tackles and no sacks and 2 games for the Indianapolis Colts with one sack.

Rice left the NFL as the active leader in sacks with 122. He is currently 20th all-time in sacks in NFL history. Rice was also the second fastest player to achieve 100 career sacks behind Hall of Famer Reggie White.

New York Sentinels
After sitting out the 2008 season, Rice signed with the New York Sentinels of the United Football League on August 27, 2009.

Music and film career
After football, Rice began a career in the entertainment industry. He started his own Hip-Hop/R&B record label, named "Lucid Dream Entertainment." Yashi Rice, his younger sister and Legends Football League player, was his first signee. Yashi has released her first single, titled "Serious." He also appeared in Slum Village video "Climax" along with Saafir and Gary Coleman. A 2009 graduate of the New York Film Academy, Rice premiered his first short film as director, "When I Was King," two days before the Super Bowl XLV in Dallas.

Rice's first feature-length film as director, Unsullied, was released on August 28, 2015. The film stars Murray Gray, Rusty Joiner and James Gaudioso.

For the 2021 season, Rice joined WTSP in Tampa, Florida as a co-host for their pregame show The Blitz.

Personal life
Rice's son Jordan Caroline is a professional basketball player for Kaohsiung Jeoutai Technology. He played college ball at Nevada.

List of UK Albums Chart number ones of the 1990s

The UK Albums Chart is a weekly record chart based on album sales from Sunday to Saturday in the United Kingdom; during the 1990s, a total of 216 albums reached number one. Until 1 February 1994, the chart was compiled each week by Gallup – after this date, it was managed by Millward Brown, who expanded the number of sales figures sampled, and extended the use of electronic point of sale machines. From July 1998 onwards, compilation of the chart was overseen by the Chart Information Network, jointly operated by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and the British Association of Record Dealers. Throughout the decade, the chart was based solely on physical album sales, and each week's number one was first announced on Sunday evenings on The Radio 1 Chart Show.

The most successful artist of the 1990s was British band Simply Red, who topped the UK Albums Chart for 19 weeks with four different albums. Stars, their fourth studio album, sold 3.29 million copies in total, and was the biggest-selling album of both 1991 and 1992. Stars was the second biggest-selling album of the decade; it was outsold by Manchester band Oasis's second album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, which spent 10 weeks at number one during 1995 and 1996, and sold 4.16 million copies. It was the highest-certified album of the 1990s, achieving platinum certification 13 times. Following the album's success, Oasis's follow-up, Be Here Now, sold 663,000 copies in the first four days of its release, making it the fastest-selling album in UK chart history.

The first number-one album of the 1990s was ...But Seriously by Phil Collins – released in 1989, ...But Seriously first reached number one in December of that year, and remained at the top for eight weeks. It stayed at number one for nine weeks during the decade, and was the biggest-selling album of 1990. The final number one of the 1990s was Come On Over by Shania Twain. Like ...But Seriously, Come on Over remained at number one into the following decade, and was the biggest-selling album of its year. In chart terms, the most successful album of the nineties was Spice, the debut album from the Spice Girls, which spent 15 weeks at number one over five separate runs. The Spice Girls' record label, Virgin Records, was the most successful label of the decade – with an artist roster that included the Spice Girls, Phil Collins and Meat Loaf, Virgin topped the albums chart with 19 different albums for a total of 62 weeks.

By artist
Eight artists spent 12 weeks or more at number one on the album chart during the 1990s.

By record label
Six record labels spent 20 weeks or more at number one on the album chart during the 1990s.

Christmas number ones
In the UK, Christmas number one albums are those that are at the top of the UK Albums Chart on Christmas Day. Typically, this will refer to the album that was announced as number one on the Sunday before 25 December—when Christmas Day falls on a Sunday itself, the official number one is considered by the OCC to be the one announced on that day's chart. During the 1990s, the following albums were Christmas number ones.

Angèle Rawiri

Angèle Christiane Rawiri or Angèle Ntyugwetondo Rawiri (1954-2010) was a Gabonese writer. She was born in 1954 in Port-Gentil, and was the daughter of Georges Rawiri, a Gabonese politician, diplomat and poet who was a friend of President Omar Bongo. She was orphaned age 6. She studied at university in France. She then lived in London for two years, where she worked as a model and actress (notably in supporting roles in James Bond films). She returned to Gabon in the late 1970s and worked as a French-English translator for a Gabonese oil company, Société Nationale Pétrolière Gabonaise (still called Petrogab), while beginning to write. At the end of the 1980s, she returned to France and devoted herself to writing.

Her novel Elonga, published in 1980, denounces the scourge of witchcraft and occult sciences through the return home of a young mixed-race man. Her second novel, G'amèrakano au carrefour, was published in 1983. It deals with the confrontation between tradition and modernity in his native country through the story of a young secretary, Toula, who lives in an eccentric and sinister neighbourhood where she rubs shoulders with delinquents and idlers. She longs for a different life. A friend suggests that she lose weight, go out with a rich man and lighten her skin.

It was in France that she completed and published her best-known novel, The Fury and Cries of Women (1989), which evokes the frustrations of young people who have lived abroad in relation to certain obstacles in Gabonese society, the weight of families, infidelity and female homosexuality.

She belongs to a new post-independence generation of African novelists with a significant female presence.

She died in November 2010 in Puteaux, near Paris.

Rawiri is also the mother of a young woman who still lives in the Paris region.

She published her first works under the name Ntyugwetondo Rawiri.
