Not necessarily incorrect, but these artists are known primarily by just their first name. I can't really think of anyone who calls Prince or Beyoncé by their full names.
135 | Nena Kerner | 99 Red Balloons
...except this one, which is actually incorrect as the song is by the BAND Nena, who are named FOR Nena Kerner, their lead singer.
803 | Detroit Spinners | I'll Be Around
This one's also technically correct, they're just much more commonly known as just The Spinners.

None of these songs have question marks in their titles. (Also, "Ain't Nobody" should be credited to Rufus feat. Chaka Khan.)
224 | Louis Armstrong | What a Wonderful World!
322 | Bobby McFerrin | Don't Worry, Be Happy!
704 | Patti Austin | Baby, Come to Me!
No exclamation mark in these song titles. (Also, "Baby, Come to Me" should be attributed to Patti Austin and James Ingram.)

These aren't mistakes, just songs I'm excited to see made it to someone's list (and some of which I hope I have room for on mine!).

578 | The Contours | Do You Love Me? (Now That I Can Dance)
970 | Ashford & Simpson | Solid (As a Rock)
I could be wrong, but I've never seen those songs given the parts indicated in parentheses when listed, typically. (Also, I realize you likely are trying to avoid using cusses, but for purposes of clarity, the song's "Bitch." I also have never heard a version of "S.O.B." that replaced the word "bitch," because that kinda defeats the purpose of the whole song. As does censoring the word "Bitch" from the song..."Bitch," but I'm not the radio curator here.)
There are also examples of when featured artists should probably be listed (Snoop Dogg for "Still D.R.E.", Nate Dogg for "Regulate," Kimbra for "Somebody That I Used to Know") and bands that don't really have a "the" in their names (like Sisters of Mercy or Bee Gees) but I don't have the energy to go in that hard.
911 | DNA | Tom's Diner
...OK, except this one, because it's a remix OF a Suzanne Vega song to begin with, so it's either "Suzanne Vega | Tom's Diner" (if we're talking about the original) or "DNA feat. Suzanne Vega | Tom's Diner (DNA Remix)." Alright that's it I swear.
