General notes
[edit]- Lead
- 01. "Lazarus is the debut album by Gym Class Heroes frontman Travie McCoy" - do you mean "lead singer"? Done. Basilisk4u (talk) 17:41, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
- 02. "Upon the album's release, Lazarus debuted at number 25 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart with sales of 15,000 copies" - Number 25 needs to be spelled out completely (number twenty-five) per WP:ORDINAL. And link Billboard 200 and not just Billboard. Done. Basilisk4u (talk) 17:41, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

- 05. "The songs "Need You" and "We'll Be Alright" have also been released as singles." - promotional singles or promotional recordings?
Comment: I am not sure what the difference is, the two links redirect to the same page. What do you mean? Basilisk4u (talk) 17:41, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Secondary notes
[edit]- Lead
Number four hasn't been addressed. I am pretty sure it was the lead single (especially if it was the first single released). Number five; I see where you are coming from. What I meant was, were these promotional singles or just singles? (there is a difference).
Comment: I think that they were just singles, as they were released several months after the release of the album and they were not released to create a buzz for the album. Is that okay? Basilisk4u (talk) 02:49, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
