Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Adult contemporary music — The claim that Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours' (1977) represents the commercial peak of soft rock is a factual error in genre categorization; the album is widely categorized as rock/pop, not specifically soft rock.

Afrobeat — The entry states Fela Kuti studied at the London College of Music (Trinity College of Music), but the correct name is Trinity College of Music, not London College of Music.

Afrobeat — The entry's phrasing 'from 1970 onward' implies continuous operation of the Afrika Shrine, but the original Shrine was burned down in 1977, not merely raided and closed multiple times.

Ambient music — Brian Eno first used the term 'ambient music' in the liner notes of his 1975 album 'Discreet Music', not in the 1978 album 'Ambient 1: Music for Airports'.

Ambient music — The revival of ambient music in the late 1980s and early 1990s is more accurately associated with ambient house and artists like The Orb and Aphex Twin, not simply house and techno music in general.
