Background and release

Composition and lyrics

 * "The Silence" is a power ballad,[6] which lasts for a duration of 3:35 (3 minutes, 35 seconds).[7] → Not necessary to have brackets for the duration of the song
 * ✅ Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One
 * It draws influence from the music genre of R&B.[8] Instrumentation consists of a piano, a guitar and drums.[8][9] → Combine into two sentences
 * It is two sentences already. Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One

 * ✅ Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One


 * The songs begins with the lyrics "Ohhhhhhhh, you lift me up."[8] → Not necessary in this context
 * It's a Composition and lyrics section, it's acceptable to put the opening lyric in. Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One
 * ❌ It is acceptable to put it in. But, in this instance, it just seems sort of random to put the lyrics in without any explanation of what they mean or how it sets the tone for the song, etc. Rp0211  ( talk2me )
 * I don't think it's random to include lyrics when it's a Composition and lyrics section. Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One 21:09, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Response

 * ...and leaped to number 16 the following week after live performance on The X Factor.[13] → Source does not specify "X Factor" performance
 * Removed. Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One
 * ✅ Rp0211  ( talk2me )


 * General comment: In regards to chart performance, specify what it debuted at and what it peaked at, and not what it was the following week after it debuted
 * It's a small section, so a bit of information about its charting is fine. Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One
 * ✅ I understand. I was mainly looking to make sure that you have all the information about where it debuted and peaked at on each chart, which is now addressed. Rp0211  ( talk2me )


 * General prose of chart performance subsection needs to be proofread and edited
 * I've gone through it. Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One

Charts

 * Use a chart template such as Template:Singlechart for this section
 * Doesn't have to be changed. There is no rule that says that template should be used instead. Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One
 * ✅ This is more of a way to clean things up, but you are right. There is no specific rule for this. Rp0211  ( talk2me )


 * Combine all different charts into one that goes from 2009 to 2011
 * Different yearly peaks are actually supposed to be put into separate tables now. Aaron  &bull; You  Da  One
