General

Some problematic links
You use "opine" far too much in this article!

Info box

Legal names for the writers, but for producers their stage name is okay.
The picture shouldn't have the Parental Advisory sticker on it. So you will have to find another version of cover.

Lead

Which two members of Arcade Fire?
List years for both The New Classic and Reclassified, not just the latter.
An initial live → "initial" isn't needed
Though it was → However, it was
A pop rap, trap → A pop rap and trap
percolating, booming stark beat and solicits a sinuous, minimalist feel. → Are these your own words? They sound like they are being quoted, in which case they need quotation marks.
Is there an article that "pussy power" can be linked to?
I'd say top 30 hit as it peaked at 27.
US → U.S.
poor timing → I don't think this is the correct phrasing. Perhaps "Scheduling conflicts"?
Azalea and MØ's first live performance of "Beg for It", on Saturday Night Live was panned by many critics, → Their first live performance of the song on Saturday Night Live was panned by many critics
"one of the most cringe-worthy live moments in recent history". → Full stop inside the quote
absent from all Azalea's → absent from all of Azalea's
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and at the 41st People's Choice Awards and 2014 American Music Awards. → The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 41st People's Choice Awards and the 2014 American Music Awards.
Why is there no mention of the music video in this paragraph.
I'd mentioned that a lyric video was released instead of a music video.

Background

were responsible for its recording. → Not guilty of something, so I'd omit "responsible"
Azalea initially previewed → Again, "initially" doesn't serve any purpose

Composition

Beg for It" is a pop rap,[19] trap song.[20] → Beg for It" is a pop rap and trap music song.[19][20]
Again, are those descriptions lifted from the reviews? They sound like you're quoting them without using quotation marks.
So does this song contain an official interpolation of "Hypnotise"?

Critical reception

This section is a bit WP:QUOTEFARM. There needs to be some paraphrasing into your own words in this section.

Commercial performance

Section is slightly U.S. centric.
You could definitely write a lot more for Canada and its charting on three charts, Belgium, Australia and the UK.

Live performances

The block quote for the SNL subsection need not have quotation marks because it is already indented, indicating that it is a quote.

Music video

Again, no need for a one sentence paragraph. Just make it one paragraph.

Credits and personnel

All of these are already linked in the Background section, so this is WP:OVERLINK

Outcome

Quite a lot to do, on hold for 7 days. I have over 2,300 articles in my watch list so ping me when you need me. — ₳aron 15:34, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No response for 8 days. As per the guideline at Good Articles, I've given it over a week. I'm sorry but I'm failing as a result. Nominator has been inactive for some time prior to me starting review. I'm sure that if you nominate again, providing you have done what I suggest above, that it will be passed straight away. — ₳aron 18:12, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
