Hi. Please stop inserting "however" in article text. This is considered editorializing. Ss112 18:09, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Woodlands16. I've also noticed your editing and have the same objection. We can't draw comparisons between other things in the way most of your edits are doing because of our guideline WP:EDITORIAL. You might also want to look at the policy WP:SYNTH, which gives the very useful example:
The United Nations' stated objective is to maintain international peace and security, but since its creation there have been 160 wars throughout the world.
vs
The United Nations' stated objective is to maintain international peace and security, and since its creation there have been only 160 wars throughout the world.
The same information with just two words changed gives a completely different meaning – the former gives the impression that the UN has failed, while the latter gives the impression that it has succeeded. Similarly, by comparing singles to other works by the artist, it may give the impression that their latest single is a failure, or a success. However, without a reliable source analysing this, it is subjective opinion and so we cannot include it: one editor may see a certain chart position as impressive, while another may see it as unexpectedly poor.
