I wonder whats next for her after these really low-sales. The first single was decent. I wonder what caused low-sales. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.162.74.108 (talk) on December 11, 2006 at 05:08 UTC.
The article needs some major fix. Here are some issues.
Lead
The lead should summarize the body of the article, there should be nothing in the lead that isn't in the rest of the article, and everything that is in the article should be summarized in the lead.
There are minor grammar error in the lead too like The album garnered a mostly positive reception, where "a" is not needed.
Background
In addition, however, Monica also recorded with Dre & Vidal — did she record duets or did she just "work" with them?
Music
Wouldn't it be easy to merge the Lyrical themes and Content into one section like 'Composition' or 'Music and lyrics'?
A quote must be succeeded by a reference.
Why do you mention about singles and chart performance in the section?
Released and promotion
The section is too short and needs citation(s) for a sentence.
Why don't you add the singles into this section?
Reception
Outside the States, it opened at number 23 on the R&B Top 50 Albums Chart in Canada — source?
Again you mention singles in the Commercial performance section.
The Makings of Me received generally positive to mixed reviews from most professional music critics. — Earlier you mentioned positive reviews, now mixed to positive? Be consistent.
Track listing
Source?
Leftover Tracks
Is such a section required?
Chart
No source for Canadian and Japanese charts.
The table looks a little confusing, why don't you remove the Provider column?
Release history
US and Canada needs sources to verify dates.
Credits and personnel
The section is not sourced, there is a refimprove tag and why is the musicians section put on a drop down box?
