Comments (and apologies for the massive delay, first half reviewed).... The Rambling Man (talk) 17:03, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
 * "is a song by" performed by, written by...? Which...?
 * "It was released..." -> "The song was..." (as the last thing you talked about was the album).
 * "through which" -> "in which"
 * "generally mixed to positive reviews" sounds like "mixed" to me.
 * What's a " component chart."?
 * "In this region" the last thing you mentioned was a "component chart", how does that relate to "region"?
 * Link "certified" appropriately.
 * "in countries such as" -> including.
 * "Shakira also served as the producer of the song" ->"Shakira also produced the song".
 * ""won’t ever see me(Shakira) cry"" space and probably need square brackets here.
 * "in international territories" well that means the planet earth, be specific.

More
 * "was digitally released to the iTunes Store" do you mean "released for download on the iTunes Store"?
 * "Pam Avoledo from Blogcritics" is Blogcritics notable? If so, why no article?  If not, why do I care about what they have to say?
 * Blogcritics had been linked earlier once in the BG and Composition section. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 17:33, 10 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Chart performance section is dry, it keeps "In X, on the X charts, the song..." mix it up a little. And you probably don't need to tell people that the "Austrian Singles Chart" is in Austria....
 * "Thus, it narrowly missed charting in the top 40 of the chart by two places" yes, that's abundantly obvious, you don't need to state it.
 * Rock in Rio image caption doesn't need a full stop.
 * "Don't Bother" - 4:17" etc, use en-dash here, not hyphen. See WP:DASH.  Check ref titles too, e.g. ref 2, ref 3.....
 * Certifications table doesn't need to be sortable.
 * I have merged the table into the charts section. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 17:33, 10 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Online refs should have access dates and publication dates where possible.
 * Don't use abbreviations in the refs, e.g. NYT -> The New York Times.

I'll put the article on hold for a week. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:34, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I still see plenty of references without access dates, publication dates, WP:DASH violations etc. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:17, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Access dates- I found out that the problem was with the weekly chart templates. Access dates have been added to them. Publication dates- Every source which mentions a publication date has one. Mostly only the charts sources don't have publication dates because Hung Medien only details their chart performance and no particular date is mentioned. Dashes- Oops I read the policy wrong. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 14:31, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
