The song has reached 29 on the Costa Rican charts. This would be good if you can add it to the chart table.

charly1300.com is listed at WP:BADCHARTS#Websites to avoid, so this chart cannot be included.—Kww(talk) 17:18, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Cali Gurls has been dethroned from the #1 spot...needs to be updated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.239.247.52 (talk) 17:42, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
Not that I care neither about Ke$ha nor about Katy Perry, but (stuff I heard) apparently according to New York Post (most reliable source I've found), there seems to be more than a passing similarity between this and Tik Tok... can this be mentioned somehow in the article? It seems to be relevant enough to be mentioned --186.87.18.30 (talk) 00:22, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
...
YES! What the fuck? Why is there no mention of it on EITHER song's page?? They're the same bloody track...
...
I feel the interest indicated by over a million views of just one of many such comparisons of the songs "California Gurls" and "TiK ToK" on YouTube alone warrants at least a mention of this item in this Wikipedia entry as well as the corresponding entry for "TiK ToK" that the songs are very similar, and that this entry should be made as part of the opening paragraphs (before the table of contents) with a cross-link to the wiki entry of both songs until some consequence comes to light (law suit, public statement, etc.) to warrant a separate full section entry on this issue.

((editsemiprotected)) Sorry for the inconvenience, but could add to list charts the following data: U.S. Billboard Latin Songs - 46 U.S. Billboard Latin Pop Songs - 28 U.S. Billboard Adult Contemporary - 13 U.S. Billboard Dance / Club Play Songs - 2
Turns out that wikipedia is a great source of research and reference to charts here in Brazil and many other countries, and there is a discussion about the position in relation California Gurls on the Billboard charts. Thank you.

I have this article on my watchlist so I noticed a recent disagreement over the use of precession vs. procession. Hopefully this has been resolved by User:Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars's edit summary explanation, but the corrected "precession" is indeed the correct term, as the table itself indicates songs which have "preceded" them in the charts, whereas procession refers to the act of "proceeding", i.e. advancing, moving on.

It's "Dogg", not "Dog". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.178.220.216 (talk) 12:14, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
The article states the single was number 1 in the UK, Scotland and Ireland.
1) Scotland is aprt of the UK, I propose the deletion of Scotland as a seperate entry as they share the same chart system. 2) Ireland should be entered as either Eire or The Republic of Ireland, to distinguish it from Northern Ireland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.197.118.236 (talk) 12:37, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Done Whew...got em all in there. If I made any mistakes, send me a msg on my talk page. Qwyrxian (talk) 11:46, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
Why on earth does this article include (sic) after the title? Many works use alternate spellings, and Wikipedia doesn't append them with sic. See, for instance, the article on the Big Star song "September Gurls," which this is named for.
Since Wikipedia does not make this a standard practice with works that use alternate spellings, I can only assume the inclusion of "sic" is to, as the Wikipedia article on sic puts it: "for ridicule, typically by drawing attention to the original writer's mistakes."

The children's TV series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic parodied this in an ad, rewriting the song to be about "Equestria Girls". I think this use seems notable enough to be mentioned in this song's article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HannahSGTC (talk • contribs) 23:49, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
I don't believe my edits should have been undone for these articles. My statement was "wikilink to funk-pop. genre is not mentioned within article. the term "disco-popping" does not just shorten down to disco...I don't even know what that sentence means in that article. About also says "electronic and effervescent" which isnt genre.".
You need to find more strong sources to get all these things. Not to mention we have three different sources who can't even agree to what genre the song is. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:29, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Ok then samjohnzon, then I would like you to please change the link to the critic Bill Lamb because its red and that means that there is no wikipedia page for that music critic. Also, the article should state specifically the member of Big Star that was lost instead of just saying "one of its members" and the genre section in the infobox should be changed from disco-pop and funk-pop to nu-disco and funk. That would make the article even better. Thanks. 66.79.195.148 (talk) 07:32, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Um, excuse me but how is this song funk pop and disco pop? Look I get it, this article is run by source nazis...but do you guys not have any ears of your own? The song is obviously by all definitions an electropop track - so why would you guys just be going around spouting funk and disco? This is so far from it.
