Lead

The album is a compilation → I would say "The record" to avoid repetition
eleven commercially successful → numbers above ten shouldn't be written out anymore
including her first top ten single → Please say "including her first Billboard Hot 100 top ten single" to clarify where the songs charted
received a perfect five star rating → Please leave out "perfect" as it's very WP:FANCRUFT-ish
the Recording Industry Association of America → please add "(RIAA)" afterwards
2 million copies → write out the number
A second compilation consisting → comma before "consisting"

Infobox

No issues here ;)

Background and release

it contains eleven singles → same as in the lead
commercially-successful → two words
one top ten single → add "one Billboard Hot 100 top ten single" as in the lead
non-charting songs – "Don't Rain on My Parade", "Happy Days Are Here Again", and "My Coloring Book" → Unlink the last two songs as mentioned beforehand
The album's eleven tracks were produced from a variety of musicians → The album's 11 tracks were produced by a variety of musicians
with the same track listing but a revised order → with the same track listing in a revised order
featuring an identical track listing → featuring the same track listing

Critical reception

appreciated the decision to release → appreciated Streisand's decision to release
he also liked → I would replace "liked" with a more encyclopedic word: "favored"
rated the collection a perfect five stars → remove "perfect" like in the lead; I would replace with "five out of five stars"
Link Guilty as never mentioned before

Commercial performance

According to the Recording Industry Association of America, the record was certified Gold for shipments of 500,000 copies on May 4, 1971, and by November 21, 1986, had been → This is a bit weird, as the certification is not reported about by RIAA, but it is awarded by them. Rewrite to: "It was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of 500,000 copies on May 4, 1971, and by November 21, 1986, the record had been..."
2x Platinum → double Platinum
2 million albums → write out as in the lead
where it peaked at number 17 according to the official Top Albums → where it peaked at number 17 on the official Top Albums (same as for RIAA)
Add "(ARIA)" after "Australian Recording..."

Track listing

Flawless ;)

Personnel

Credits adapted from the liner notes of the CD edition → "the CD edition" is really superflous to mention here and could be left out

Charts

Flawless ;)

Certifications

Flawless ;)

Other stuff

Copy-violation

20.6% is very acceptable!

@Carbrera: Gladly passing this! I wondered if you would maybe have time to look over one of my GANs? I have several nominations waiting for months (probably just like you). Anyway, congrats on your new GA! Best; Cartoon network freak (talk) 04:52, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
