Infobox
✅
 * I'm assuming you took the genres from the ALL mUsic review "It was also a genre-defining album in terms of the emergence of a post-'60s contemporary pop music that drew upon the rock revolution to redefine classic pop for a new generation." Shouldn't Tradional pop be added as well?
 * Shouldn't Charles Koppelman be added here as executive producer?

Lead
✅
 * I would add Australia and Canada as well to the list of countries certified.
 * Perhaps saying that some songs were covers of others.
 * Add something from the first paragraph of "Promotion and development" that seems relevant. The part of American DJ Gary Guthrie...

Promotion and development
✅
 * to promote the singer's then-upcoming greatest hits album, Barbra Streisand's Greatest Hits Volume 2 → source?
 * the version that appears on the record → which record?
 * to which they accepted → not sure if you should include they breach the contract but eventually "cleaned up the royalty issue"
 * Columbia Records released the compilation on November 15, 1978 → source?
 * The label also issued an 8-track cartridge version of the album in 1974 → wrong date for sure
 * " The album was later released in a compact disc format on July 6, 1987" → so what they released first?

Critical reception

 * music critics → link to music journalism


 * No more reviews?
 * I wish there were, but unfortunately I cannot find any more. Carbrera (talk) 17:28, 12 March 2017 (UTC).


 * Try to add something more from the AllMusic review. As it was due to her genre switching she was able to release this album.
 * Added sentence about the difference in her hits from the '60s and '70s. Carbrera (talk) 17:28, 12 March 2017 (UTC).

Commercial performance
✅
 * "and would continue to do so for three consecutive weeks" → Not relevant, many albums have done so.
 * "The record spent a total of 46 consecutive weeks " → we don't know if they were consecutive, unless you can provide a source for such, please remove.
 * "the record and Streisand's" → the album and Streisand's
 * "It would later be changed to" → It would later be re-certified to
 * "for the week " → on the week
 * "Overall, it spent a total of 20 consecutive weeks charting in Canada" → same as previous

Track listing
✅
 * I would strong advise to add the albums the tracks were taken from. See example.

Personnel
✅
 * Missing Stevie Wonder, David Wolfert and many more songwriters. See the AllMusic review
 * Not sure if you would like to add some arrangement and other technicians as well?

Charts

 * Everything is ok.

Certifications

 * I will take your call and judgment on the Hong Kong certification as I can't access it.
 * Done – Is there a popup or block on your computer? The link seems to work finely for me. Carbrera (talk) 17:28, 12 March 2017 (UTC).
 * No. I just haven't been able to access Wayback machine lately, I'm using chrome I guess it has to do with it. What browser do you use to access it? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:54, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, I use chrome as well. Carbrera (talk) 18:35, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * It gives me an error, bad gateway. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 20:06, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
