Well here goes the review,

Lead  Done

1. of the album -> comma after album

2. comma after lead single and Singles Collection

Composition  Done

1. with classical Max Martin synths --> doesnot make sense, classical Max Martin?
2. from C4 to C5 --> no sense to the non-adapt user, try something like high-tome of C4 to the lower register of C5
3. Ref 7 to Musicnotes.com --> remove the url from the citation as per discussion at WP:RSN. Do it something like that in "Bad Romance" or "Telephone".
4. four-on-the-floor --> remove redirect and explain what it is in short.

TRacklisting  Done

2. Remove unreliable source like Amazon and Discogs.

Credits  Done

1. – between names and profession

Charts  Done

1. Remove the certification table, a single one is unnecessary. Add back when the single has been certified in more than two nations, and that too in the format in FA's like "4 Minutes".

Release history  Done

1. Remove Amazon links

References  Done

1. Remove italicization of online sources and chart names
2. Czech Airplay chart is published by IFPI so you can link them in ref 45.

External links  Done

1. Both of them fail as per WP:SPAM. Those links donot contribute anything related to the song. Either add such link or remove the section altogether. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 08:56, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Just a partial review. Will update the rest tomorrow. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 11:27, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

I adressed all the concerns. I replaced the external links for the music video in MTV. I also deleted the Digital Spy link from the critical reception section, but left it in the composition section since it describes many elements of the song. Xwomanizerx (talk) 15:10, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

There are a few unformatted references in the article. The dutchcharts, lescharts, swisscharts, spanishcharts, all should have the proper work parameter and should credit Hung Medien as the publisher. We're almost there. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 10:01, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Done. Xwomanizerx (talk) 15:09, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Looks fine. I'm passing the article. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 09:49, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
