Created by Ss112 (talk), BawinV (talk), and MaranoFan (talk). Nominated by Feminist (talk) at 03:33, 27 April 2019 (UTC).
- I would give preference to the following:
- ALT3:... that Taylor Swift's song "Me!" debuted at number 100 on the Billboard Hot 100?
Next week it’s gonna rise to #1 or #2 and Swift will break the record for the biggest jump on the Hot 100, which might make an even more interesting hook.—NØ 05:15, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
- Yawn. What I proposed don't look like standard DYK fare while still remaining fully compliant with hook requirements (at least for the main hook and ALT2). Your hook is overly technical, I doubt that many people would be interested in how Billboard calculates its charts. feminist (talk) 16:55, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
- As for the modification, it's not any more interesting than [random song] which debuted at [random position] on the Hot 100. It's no different from, say, Green Light (Lorde song), which also debuted at number 100 on the Hot 100. feminist (talk) 03:45, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
- I don't know, it may be typical, but it does look catchy at least. Plus considering Taylor Swift's popularity, you would have expected a higher debut, if anything. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:25, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- We'll let the person who promotes this nomination decide which hook he prefers I guess. The main hook and ALT1 are not good hooks at all, except maybe if it’s April Fool's day.—NØ 08:00, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

I see the nomination hasn't been reviewed yet despite the discussion above. I actually disagree with the part about the charting at 100 as not being catchy: personally I think it is, if only because of alliteration. With that said, unless the nominators would agree to hold this off until AFD, then it seems our best option is ALT2. As for the article requirements, it's long enough, new enough, what needs to be sourced is sourced, a QPQ has been done, and the hook facts are cited inline and verified. I was not able to find any close paraphrasing either. Approving this, noting the nominators' preference for ALT2. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:33, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
