Perhaps also include the digital release dates and discuss the remixes?

Not done There is already a table for the song's release history, so I think it would be clichéd to discuss the song's releases in the section. HĐ (talk) 03:12, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Composition

The whole section feels quite jilted to be honest. It's lots of very short sentences which is quite disruptive to the flow. It's always better to try and link one sentence to another use a comma or semi-colon instead of lots of full stops.

I have tweaked this section a bit. HĐ (talk) 04:24, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Critical reception

Same for this section. It just reads like he said, she said, he said. The sentences need to be linked to together more eloquently and to improve the flow, perhaps combining some reviewers into the same sentence if they share a common sentiment or thought?
WP:QUOTEFARM is an issue. Some need paraphrasing.

Chart performance

on US radio →on U.S. radio
No need to bracket the debuts, include them as normal prose in the sentence.
Again, if you could possibly source that it became her 4th number one on the Dance chart then that would be really good.
In Australia, "Not Myself Tonight" debuted and peaked at number 22 on the ARIA Charts, → No ned to say Australia as well as ARIA, it's like saying Australia twice. Just use one or the other.
No need to two paragraphs here, the second is very short. Just one would do.

Done all except for the 4th number-one detail. HĐ (talk) 04:11, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Music video

Don't think you need to have titled sub-sections, there isn't masses of info for each one. It makes it look a bit disjointed. Just the four paragraphs would suffice without titled sub-sections.
I'd have the two photos side by side, not one under the other. I thought it was one picture at first, not two pictures.

Done

Weekly charts

I'd put Dance before Mainstream Top 40, just my OCD alphabetical-ness.

Done

Certifications

You could include that sales of RIAA here, just don't include a certification.

References

MTV sources need Viacom as the publisher.
Publishers are missing from quite a lot. In fact, nearly all.

Not done I don't think we need publishers (i.e. Rolling Stone (Wenner Media) or MTV News (Viacom)) per recent FAs and GAs. HĐ (talk) 04:11, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
