### Notes and references
Also given as → Also known as
Copyvio score looks fantastic at 7.4%!!!!
For the instance that ref 20 is invoked, wouldn't it be better to cite both refs 2 and 21?
Cite Danske Hitlister as publisher instead and pipe to DR (broadcaster) on ref 28
Pipe GT to Göteborgs-Tidningen per MOS:LINK2SECT on ref 36
Pipe New Musical Express to NME on ref 39


### Sources
I hate to be problematic since it is used for multiple refs, but WP:RSP lists Discogs as unreliable so remove or replace.


### Final comments and verdict
 On hold until all of the issues are fixed! --K. Peake 09:24, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
Should be fixed now. VirreFriberg (talk) 19:31, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
VirreFriberg This looks a lot better, however the only problems are that you need to get rid of the word claim altogether and why is release not before the musical info in the lead? --K. Peake 07:03, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
My apologies, the issues at hand should be fixed now. VirreFriberg (talk) 21:57, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 Pass now, this is definitely worthy of GA status! --K. Peake 07:53, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
