 * General
 * One DAB link
 * Two dead links

 * Bennett and Gaga first met backstage in 2011, after performing at the Robin Hood Foundation gala in New York City. → Had they performed together then? Slightly ambiguous.

 * The two later recorded a rendition of "The Lady Is a Tramp", and began discussing plans for working on a jazz project. → Something isn't working for me here. Would it be more clear to say that Bennett asked Gaga to cover "The Lady is a Tramp" with him, which started the ball rolling about a collaboration album?

 * Gaga deviated from her characteristic pop tracks, wanting instead authentic jazz sounding vocals. → This sentence doesn't make sense. Are you talking about the style of songs or the way in which she sings them?

 * was announced by Gaga and Bennett → Slightly OCD but the opening sentence of the lead says Bennett and Gaga, here says Gaga and Bennett. Choose one and stick to it for continuity.

 * Bennett said that Gaga had written an original song for the album titled "Paradise". → So it wasn't included?

 * Commercial performance
 * The next two weeks, although album sales dropped, Cheek to Cheek held its position at number four on the Billboard 200, with sales of 59,000 and 37,000 copies respectively. → Doesn't flow properly, and I don't think we need this trajectory.
 * Is Gaga the first act to have number-one albums on the Dance and Jazz albums? It's quite an unusual combination. Would be great if this could potentially be sourced from somewhere.
 * I searched a lot for any reference for this. Only what I could find were fan wars like "#1 Dance and #1 Jazz album, Kaweeeeen!!!" lol. — Indian: BIO  [ ChitChat  ] 10:02, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
