• "as the second single from their second studio album, Astro Lounge (1999)" → "as the album's second single" with the appropriate target
  • Done. Also corrected as this is the first single, not the second. Toa Nidhiki05 13:19, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
    • Oh I didn't know that, why is the album page listing as second single though? Also, change to lead single now with the wikilink. --Kyle Peake (talk) 19:38, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
      • Done. The album page is wrong. It considers a song that was released as a single from a soundtrack album months beforehand the "lead single", but it was never a single from the album and "All Star" is correctly identified by sources as the first single. Toa Nidhiki05 21:39, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

• ""All Star" adopts a more" → "the song features a heavier" to avoid repetitive wording
  • I’m not sure the wording “features a heavier radio-friendly style” makes the most sense there? I did add the first part though. Toa Nidhiki05 13:19, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
    • Maybe it doesn't; you should find a way to not repeat "more" in the same sentence either way though. --Kyle Peake (talk) 19:38, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

  Not sure what you mean here? It references the recording process, which is why I included in here. Toa Nidhiki05 18:36, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

  It is about who performes the whistling, which is part of the composition but not included in that section as of current. --Kyle Peake (talk) 11:59, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

  I suppose the whistling could be mentioned in composition, but who performs it isn't really relevant there. Toa Nidhiki05 21:40, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

  Done. Toa Nidhiki05 15:15, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

  Not sure this works here as the context is their previous album, Fush Yo Mang, not Astro Lounge, where All Star is from. Toa Nidhiki05 15:15, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

  You're right, keep as the album's title like it is but that comma is needed for grammar fixing. --Kyle Peake (talk) 11:59, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

If you can't fix this, then why not just remove the 2017 info and only keep the other info about the chart? --Kyle Peake (talk) 17:14, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
