We are in WP:QPQ backlog mode. Double QPQs are required.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 10:02, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for notifying. I have added two more that I already had, which is kind of based.--N Ø 10:35, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have been informed that I misinterpretted the backlog mode. It is one extra QPQ per nomination, not per nominated article. You only need three.

Both articles new enough and long enough.
Both articles have copyvio results consistent with your direct quotation style. No issues.
WP:ICs are used throughout. More than adequate citation is present.
Both articles are neutral and encyclopedic.
There is no image nominated.
- I see both use Fair use cover art. I did not evaluate this fair use.
QPQ more than good, per 04:21, 18 March 2024 comment above.
Hook is well-cited in the content of both articles.
- all good.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:56, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's been a while! I will be happy to take this up for review. I have a pending GAN of my own in case you want to take a look. Pseud 14 (talk) 13:53, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It really has been a while! I almost started missing the snakepit, lol. I will take a look at your article within the next few hours.--N Ø 12:25, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We do miss your presence over there. You're one of the constant fixtures in the music space. Hopefully with the new music from Meghan Trainor we shall see you back soon :) Pseud 14 (talk) 13:15, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well written

Lead and infobox

A doo-wop song with contemporary influences, the song incorporates -- perhaps some tweaking as you mention "song" a second time after introducing it as a "doo-wop song"
reached numbers 15 and 24 on the Adult Top 40 and Mainstream Top 40 charts -- worth mentioning that these charts are in the US
In it, Trainor, alongside background dancers, performs -- Instead of "in it", maybe somewhere along the lines of It features Trainor alongside background dancers, performing a dance routine...

Background

which went viral on TikTok -- I would link viral to the appropriate term
"I worked with Meghan's husband and manager for months trying to surprise her for her birthday." -- is there a reason why months here is italicized in the quote?

The quote in the source has all caps for "months", since that would be considered shouting under Wikipedia convention I have substituted it with italics for emphasis.--N Ø 12:25, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I though this was the case, thanks for the clarification. Pseud 14 (talk) 13:15, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Composition

Link programmed to Programming (music)

Release and promotion

In it, Trainor, alongside -- similar point as in the lead comments

Commercial performance

"Been Like This" peaked at numbers 15 and 24 on the Adult Top 40 and Mainstream Top 40 charts -- worth mentioning this is in the US (or Billboard)
I think the instances of issued dated is redundant maybe issued for [insert date] or singles chart dated [insert date]

Verifiable with no original research

Copyvio score of 12.3% is reasonable and attributed to quotations.
Reliable enough for the information being cited
Consistent date and proper reference formatting
Appropriate wikilinks where applicable

Spotchecks

Ref 1 - ok
Ref 5 - ok
Ref 12 - ok, AGF on quote (source cited is paywalled)
Ref 17 - ok
Ref 25 - ok
Ref 32 - ok

Broad in its coverage

All major aspects of the topic are broadly covered and is comprehensive.

Summary

Another solid work on Trainor-related articles. That will be all from me. Pseud 14 (talk) 01:11, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quality review, Pseud 14. I could really feel the prose getting improved while making the suggested edits. I hope you are having a great day!--N Ø 12:25, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
