# Talk:Formation (song)

To credit the genre of this song as 'Bounce' is highly ridiculous.  This yet another example of how random and flagrant subgenre tags are, and how they should not be used in the genre category.  The song is R&B and should be labeled as such. The Real One Returns (talk) 20:32, 12 February 2016 (UTC) 

Is it a little bit strange to say Blue Ivy's appearance in the video is "tied in to Beyonce's appreciation for natural hair" because she and the two other girls "sported natural afros?" They're just children. Unless there's a source for this, or Beyonce has commented on it specifically, I think it's a leap. Sadiemonster (talk) 14:30, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
While the article's language is a bit clumsy, the idea is appropriate.  The relevant lyric is "I like my baby hair with baby hair and afros", presumably a response to critics of Blue Ivy's natural hair.  --Stargirl7 (talk) 23:02, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Good point, I missed that. Without mentioning the lyric, it still doesn't make sense to say Blue Ivy's appearance "is "tied in to Beyonce's appreciation for natural hair." I'd suggest changing it to something like "Blue Ivy Carter makes a cameo appearance alongside two other girls with natural hair, reflecting the lyric 'I like my baby hair with baby hair and afros.'" Or something. Sadiemonster (talk) 14:37, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on Formation (song). Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

The song has been certified gold in Canada, as it can be seen here: http://musiccanada.com/gold-platinum/
Please add it to this page.
--Jimoincolor (talk) 02:44, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Red Lobster claims that this song was responsible for a 33% boost in their sales, important context for the impact this song has had on the outside world. CBC reports that this has been a key factor in supporting lobster prices and fishing incomes in rural Canada. 
Nerdveen (talk) 14:18, 7 October 2016 (UTC)Nerdveen

Clarification: The chain's CEO stated there was a single day 33% spike on Superbowl Sunday, which he said is typically a slow day for the chain.
CBC does not call this one day spike at one restaurant chain a "key factor" in a national industry. After an extensive discussion of the weak Canadian dollar, demand from China and shifts in consumer preferences, the article has a brief aside about the song.
At most we have a brief mention of the Red Lobster single day spike claim. - SummerPhDv2.0 18:08, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi SNUGGUMS! Thank you for your edits to the article. I just have a couple points to clarify:

For this edit ([1]), I think the link isn’t dubious as the article says at the top that it applies to songs and not just albums (”A surprise album or surprise release is an album or single with little or no prior announcement, marketing or promotion.”) I think it’s especially relevant in this article given Beyoncé’s role in proliferating the use of surprise releases.
For this edit ([2]), can I ask what the rationale is behind removing the mention of the certification? The triple-platinum certification seems more notable than it charting in the top 30 in certain countries. I tried to follow the precedent of featured song articles which typically include the RIAA certification in the lead.
Thank you! Bgkc4444 (talk) 15:38, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

My rationales are as follows:
A page about albums isn't exactly a substitute for a page about songs, with or without the element of surprise (though I do understand your thinking when using the link).
Singling out only one nation in the lead with a certification is arbitrary at best, and it looks incomplete to not even mention any achievements from other places. We shouldn't be exclusively US-centric, and frankly I suspect there are other articles that indulge in Americanism more than they should have. It's not like America is the only market that ever matters.
Hopefully this is a satisfactory response. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 18:01, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for this.
Are you saying that even though the opening sentence of that article says it refers to songs also, we shouldn't use it as a link because the rest of the article mostly focuses on albums?
Makes sense. Do you think something like this could be okay? "It debuted at number 10 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, where it was certified three-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, and charted within the top 40 in Australia, Canada, France, Hungary, Scotland, Spain and the United Kingdom." Also, do you think mentioning that it debuted three months after the song's release should/shouldn't be mentioned in the lead?
Bgkc4444 (talk) 09:23, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
That is correct for linking, plus "surprise release" is a commonly known term that doesn't need to be linked anyway per WP:OVERLINK no matter what that article primarily focused on. Regarding certifications, you'd be better off putting them in their own sentence after chart peaks, also it would seem odd to not mention the highest level certified (Diamond in Brazil) when highlighting a triple platinum status for America. Other things you could add to flesh the sentence out are going double platinum in Australia and perhaps the platinum certifications for Canada and New Zealand. As for months passed until entering charts, save that for the body; the lead should be more focused on how high a song overall went within nations. I debated using a structure along the lines of "top 10 in ____, top 20 in _____, and top 30 in ____" before deciding those would be too sparse and just consolidated them into one general range. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 22:25, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
Ok great, that all makes sense - thanks! Bgkc4444 (talk) 11:30, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Bgkc4444 This was for the references where the archive url is from different dates from the chart issues; the first one was  Sverigetopplistan and the second I'm not too sure now, but it was an instance where you were linking to an archive for a date different from when the song charted. As for the other positions, there are still unarchived refs used to back up multiple Billboard chart rankings. --K. Peake 09:40, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
Unless I'm missing something I believe the Sverigetopplistan ref is archived for the correct date. I'll look into the others - annoyingly it doesn't seem like Billboard kept record of the charts from back then. Bgkc4444 (talk) 17:39, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

I have looked through the points addressed so far and you are on the right track, apart from not having replaced hlist with bullet points in the infobox. --K. Peake 07:46, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
@Kyle Peake: Huge thanks to you for the mammoth effort in getting this done! Definitely not an easy undertaking! All the point should be addressed now, except for a few in the references section where I left some comments. Bgkc4444 (talk) 09:24, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
@Bgkc4444: Thank you so much, I dedicated a lot of time to this review that clearly paid off especially with your admirable attitude to work together and the references are fine since I've lost any one that was incorrectly archived plus the Sweden one works anyway.  Pass now, impressive you did this so quickly! --K. Peake 18:49, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
