Hello! I'll be reviewing this article as part of the ongoing GAN backlog drive. --Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 23:45, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Final comments

@PresN: I'll promote the article once these issues get addressed. The review will be on hold for a week. Good job on the article. --Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 13:17, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

@Vacant0: All prose comments done, and full release dates used in the text. I would like to replace the Spotify reference, but unfortunately cannot find any RSs for the info that aren't other storefronts. Thanks for reviewing! --PresN 14:13, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for being so fast. I'll promote the article now. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 14:21, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
