Final comments and verdict

 * for the first review I took on of one of your articles in over a month, have faith the changes will be fixed in a week or less since it is small! --K. Peake 11:29, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Kyle Peake, thank you so much for taking this up so quickly. I have mostly fixed the issues pointed out by you and left two comments above. Also, can you take a look at the "Commercial performance" section once? I have added the line: "The song's commercial success has been attributed to the viral dance-challenge." which I'd initially forgotten. If you think the sentence needs a fix please feel free to suggest. I'm also thinking if this sentence should be added to the lead? -- Ashley yoursmile!  12:53, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Change "the viral dance-challenge" → "its viral dance challenge", plus you also need to make the fix that I explained in references after my previous mistake and then this article will be fine. Also no, I do not believe it needs to be included in the lead even though that looks sick at three paragraphs currently that will look even better on the GAN page soon!!! --K. Peake 12:57, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Kyle Peake, and done everything that you asked for. Thank you once again for another amazing review. :) -- Ashley yoursmile!  13:06, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ now, good job on this! --K. Peake 13:41, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
