It was released as the first single from the album --> so lead single?

The lead and "background/composition" section state that it derives from the "teen pop" genre although the Infobox does not.

critics --> music critics

It received mixed reviews from critics, who deemed it as infectious, yet unnecessary. --> Did some critics call it infectious and unnecessary? Or did some call it infectious, while others called it unnecessary?

An accompanying music video was directed by Jake Nava and features Lohan in several scenes dancing in club like surroundings and running from the paparazzi, emphasizing the song's theme. --> Something annoys me here. It seems hard to digest.

New York, New York -> Distinguish from city and state please

The lead states that the song was released on 21 September 2004 although this is nowhere in the article (besides infobox).

The song received generally mixed reviews from contemporary critics. -> Start with the song's actual title, "Rumors", and again - music critics.

Some quotes could do with some paraphrasing

I think it is worthy of mentioning that it was certified Gold by ARIA (in Australia).
Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It also charted in Sweden and Netherlands.

Commissioned is spelt wrong.
Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There are some commas that need to be put in the music video section for a better flow.
Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Make a column for personnel.
Why is this necessary? - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Need to be separated into 2004 and 2005 peaks.
Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Make it only two columns. Three forces it for those on smaller screens.
Fixed - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
References are all fine
Thank you! :) - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 20:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
