  • Have to disagree with you on this... The lead is meant to capture what is notable of a song, and in this case, even if it is a successful single in terms of commercial performance, it shouldn't be prioritized over other aspects i.e. music, lyrics, and critical reviews (which are arguably much more important imo). Listing a few countries where the song was particularly successful should suffice, and especially since we already have a table listing each-and-every chart position.

  • I did do some research on what's the usual 411 on this. And it seems it is preferred not to mention a lot of markets in the lead on song FAs (e.g. "Style", "Diamonds", "Single Ladies", etc.) Even if this was changed to include just countries where it went top 5, that would still make 11 of them.
  • 11 doesn't sound so bad. You could perhaps make room for those by dropping certifications from the lead. If viewers don't read any subsequent text, then just mentioning a total of 5 countries might leave them with an impression they were the only places where it made that range.

  • The sentence: "It reached the top five on charts in Australia, Czech Republic, Ireland, New Zealand, Poland, Scotland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Venezuela" bombards the reader with too much information too quickly, and does not reflect the markets it achieved the most success in as accurately as certifications do in my opinion. It also looks a bit WP:OL so I have come up with a wording tweak to fix this problem instead: among others.--NØ 15:47, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sources overwhelmingly refer to Title as Trainor's debut and none refer to it as her fourth album. Likewise, sources refer to Thank You as her sophomore (not her fifth) and Treat Myself as her third (not sixth). Should I add a footnote addressing this like the one at Meghan Trainor?
  • Sometime between September 9 (The EP's release date) and mid-October.
  • Added.
  • Previous list was only territories where it made top 5. I have now expanded it to the top 30, though.
  • There were none.
  • Amended.
  • Removed the italics.

Get through these, and it should be FA-material. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 00:39, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
