Sleeper hit?

I noticed the intro and commercial performance section both name Delicate as a "sleeper hit" before proceeding to mention that it debuted on the Hot 100 because of its single release and impact towards Pop airplay.

Being a slow rising single itself alone doesn't equate it to being a sleeper hit regardless of what an article someone dug up says. It steadily ascended because of an aid in airplay and its music video which was released March 11. How does Delicate qualify as a "sleeper-hit" when it peaked two months following its radio release? I don't want to remove this but should this be reworded? CTRLminaj (talk) 04:39, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are two sources, which are more than enough, calling "Delicate" a sleeper hit. Everything you said after "Being a slow..." is not backed by any source and hence constitutes original research. BawinV (talk) 05:03, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
