I will post a more-complete review in a couple of days, but in the meantime there are several [citation needed] tags scattered around the article, especially after direct quotations. These will need to be resolved before this article could achieve GA status. –Grondemar 05:19, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Sorry for taking so long to get back to this! I reviewed the article and have the following concerns that need to be addressed before the review could be passed:
- In the lead: "The song was only moderately successful at first... It later achieved mainstream success...". Per the Commercial performance section, there appears to be only five weeks between "at first" and "later". I would have expected a period of months or years rather than weeks from that kind of description.
- What makes Musicianguide.com a reliable source? You're using it to support direct quotes.
- What makes Musicnotes.com a reliable source?
- I know Buzzfeed is not a reliable source. I'd recommend removing the sentence this source is supporting as it does not add much to the article.
- I found this article incredibly hard to read, because so much of it is either direct quote after direct quote, or a long list of chart placings. This article needs expansion with more prose to fill in the space between the quotes and placings.
