Get Together (Madonna song)
Created by 11JORN (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 01:19, 13 October 2022 (UTC).
- Article was made as a GA on 10 October but I accidentally forgot to add that. Onegreatjoke (talk) 01:20, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
A recent good article. No close paraphrasing or neutrality detected. A QPQ has been provided. The hook is sourced, but I do not find it particularly interesting or "hooky". These kinds of switches in terms of singles happen quite often. I would think there would be a more interesting fact or hook that was more unique to this song? This just seems generic to me.

- @Aoba47: How about "... that a lack of radio coverage caused "Get Together" to garner lower viewership than usual spawning a petition, outrage, and conspiracy theories among Madonna fans?" Onegreatjoke (talk) 14:44, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

- That is a much stronger hook imo. Remember song titles are put in quotation marks not in italics. Aoba47 (talk) 17:14, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
Now that the hook has been settled upon, I believe this should be ready to go. Aoba47 (talk) 19:17, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: I think should be necessary specify the name of United States (something like this "a lack of US radio coverage caused..."). Back in context, the Confessions era was understood as a generally success everywhere (with Guinness Book giving the record of chart-topping album/single in most countries) but a general absence in the US context.

- Comment: @Apoxyomenus:@Onegreatjoke: I agree with you and apologies for missing this point in my review. I think it would be beneficial to streamline the hook to add this in. Would something like "...the limited radio airplay of "Get Together" in the US spawned a petition, outrage, and conspiracy theories among Madonna fans?" be more acceptable?
