Review and comments
This article is almost ready to be a GA. Just some small issues we need to take care before I pass it to GA status.

Background and writing

 * Chartjackers There is already a link for this on the lead. Remove this and all other repetition of links (eg. Miranda Chartrand in both lead and this section).


 * The name of the guy(s) (who patched up the song from 4000 comments) is nowhere mentioned.


 * Dark's composition was inspired by "Strawberry Swing" by British band Coldplay and drew heavily from that song's chords. Give proper source.
 * I can't find a decent source for that info, so I've just removed it.

Recording and release

 * I saw in iTunes the single costs $0.99. Mention this price.


 * The deduction by iTunes is not sourced.
 * Removed.

Reception

 * File:I'veGotNothing.ogg--The general rule of an audio-sample of a non-free song is to upload a sample of length 10% of the original song's length or 30s, whichever is shorter. Therefore an audio-sample of a song of length 2:50 (ie. 230 seconds) should not exceed 23s threshold. The present sample is of 26s. Also, I don't think the "Non-free media use rationale for Miranda Chartrand" is not necessary.
 * I've uploaded a new version of the file that conforms to the 10% rule. I'd have thought that the named rationale for the Miranda Chartrand article would be necessary - it's a fair use file, so surely every article that displays it needs its own non-free media use rationale?

Live performances

 * Thank you very much for reviewing this article, Sayantan! Vo BEDD (talk) 19:15, 1 January 2011 (UTC)


 * One thing I forgot to mention is the sentence "Over the next 18 seconds of the song, 11 different sets of 35 viewers... " (in the section "Music video") doesn't look very nice to me. Is it 35 users in total 11 sets or 35 users in each of the 11 sets? Anyway, fix that and congratulation, it's a GA now. Very good job. --Sayantan (talk|contribs) 03:59, 2 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much, Sayantan, that's brilliant! I've added a brief parenthetical remark to the article that I hope makes it clearer than it was 35 different users in each of the 11 sets. Thanks again! Vo BEDD (talk) 09:33, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
