Composition

For the audio sample, is 38 seconds 10% of 3:10?
- No it's 20% but in my defense I didn't upload it (don't know how to). Till
  - You can remove it and ask someone to upload one that is 10%. It won't affect it's GA status if you do it after I've passed it. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 11:54, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Removed. Till
"No Can Do" samples the song "Yes It's You", performed by Tennessee artist Sweet Charles Sherrell. → Sherrel was a bassist, not a singer, and helped produce songs for James Brown, so how does it sample something of his?
- But that's what the source says. Till
  - Hmm okay. I just didn't quite understand how it could be done lol. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 11:54, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  - Done. Till

Commercial performance

Why don't you use the Official Charts Company website archive for the peak instead of Musicweek? You can't get much more reliable than the Official Charts Company website.
- Why? They state the same thing. Plus Music week is just as reliable. Till
  - I guess it's just because that is who is the official publisher and who I use. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 11:56, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
brought their total single sales to three million. → Is this over their entire career?

References

I went through and corrected any that were erroneous.
- Ty. Till
You need to to change every reference to the date format: Day/Month/Year, for example 1 January 2000 (No comma). This article is about a British group, and is written in British English, so the dates should be written in British English.
- Is this necessary? I mean people will know the date. All their articles follow the 2000-01-01 format. Till
  - Yes, they are a British group, therefore the article must be 100% written in British English. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 11:58, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Done, and omg it looks so weird and ugly. Till
Sheetmusicdirect link doesn't go to anything. Why not use Musicnotes.com ?
- I checked but only Sheetmusicdirect has the sheet music, not Musicnotes.com (for some odd reason). Till
  - It didn't open with the No Can Do page though. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 11:58, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Ohh you mean the actual sheet music itself on the Sheetmusicdirect website? Yeah, you can only view it with this program called Scorch. Till
      - Passing :) Aaron • ^{You Da One} 11:20, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        Thanks Calvin. Till 11:21, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
