This review may come in stages of sorts because the article is very large, so if I add an edit only mentioning certain sections, that will not be the end of the review. --Kyle Peake (talk) 07:29, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Track listing

Personnel

 * Retitle to Credits and personnel
 * Any specific order here?
 * Not that I'm aware of. If you want it to have a specific order, please tell me.  Username 6892 01:14, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Either order it in the Tidal credits order, or alphabetically. --Kyle Peake (talk) 06:22, 24 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Wikilinks and targets on the names should be added at all points when possible, including the lead artist
 * Use so there is the right space between credits and personnel

Weekly charts

 * Why is there an empty |- under here?


 * Are you sure the Bulgaria pick is correct since that is from "The world TOP 10"?
 * It's not


 * Where do I access the chart position for Tophit ref?

 * The "singles" chart appears to be a "digital singles" chart, which makes it seem like digital sales.  Username 6892 18:00, 24 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Ditto for Slovakia
 * The peak for Slovenia is 6, not 7
 * Remove Ukraine Airplay per WP:CHARTS
 * Isn't Ukraine Airplay by Tophit, not FDR Music Charts?
 * It does mention that but says Ukraine in bold so I believe you should remove this. --Kyle Peake (talk) 06:22, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Monthly charts

 * Monthly chart performance for "Physical" → April 2020 monthly chart performance for "Physical"
