Summary

I've decided to put this article on hold for 7 days. Also, why is there no "Track lising" section? — Oz (talk) 06:45, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Second opinion

Just glancing at the article briefly, my biggest concern is the chart performance section. I question if it's necessary to give a blow-by-blow account of every move the song made on every chart. I'd suggest compressing it down some to mention just the peak ranking and date, and the number of weeks total on the charts. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 22:19, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It only charted in Belgium and two charts in the US. As it charted on two main charts and one component chart, I've given more information about their charting, so that the section isn't one poor sentence long. I believe it is fine the way it is. AARON• ^TALK 23:24, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
