Credits and personnel

[edit]
  • Why is there no source(s)?

Charts

[edit]
  • Good

Certifications

[edit]
  • Switch the certtable so shipments figures is not listed at the bottom, since it is totally irrelevant to the article

Release history

[edit]
  • Good

References

[edit]
  • Nice job on the archiving!
  • Copyvio score looks great at 23.1%
  • Ref 1 is missing a space after Trainor,
  • Ref 5 should cite numerous countries to verify the release was various and add distributors in brackets; (US), for example
  • Is it fine to just change it to Google Play? Which I think has one link that works in every country.
  • Cite Vulture as work/website instead for ref 15 and target to Vulture.com
  • Ref 19 and 22 are missing accessdates

Final comments and verdict

[edit]
  • Yup, Google Play is considered reliable and I've replaced iTunes with it already. The only thing confusing for me was the suggestion that Jonathan Rotem's birth name shouldn't be used, but I removed it anyway. Cheers.--NØ 02:46, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
