Lead and infobox

 * "over its instrumentation of guitars and snare drums"
 * Briefly introduce some context about Simon Konecki, i.e. his occupation, how long he dated Adele
 * A lyric video/audio video could be helpful.
 * "her high volume" I'd change to something like "though some thought it was too loud"

Background

 * A little too much information on "Hello"; I'd only keep the fact that Kurstin wrote and produced "Hello", which was the lead single.
 * Ditto about Simon Konecki.
 * I'm inclined to keep some of the information about Hello's success as it may have had a bearing on Adele's decision to work with Kurstin on more songs for the album. And the Konecki-related quotes I have included are all relevant to this song and are things she discussed in relation to it.


 * Tophit is unreliable, as listed at WP:SINGLE?

Composition

 * "Kurstin produced it; and engineered it" should be a comma instead of a semicolon
 * What does "lone guitars" mean?

Critical reception

 * "its understated style allowed Adele's vocals to dominate" "dominate" sounds weird, I'd go for "shine"
 * I'm not sure if Andy Gill's comment that this song is "understated" is correct, given that quite a few reviews focused on how loud, rather chaotic, "wall of sound"-ish it sounds.
 * Not sure it is right to exclude a reliable critic's opinion because others disagreed. I have kept it and noted that it is something that "Andy Gill of The Independent believed".

Commercial performance

 * Looks good!

Promotion

 * Do we need three sources for the Jimmy Fallon live?
 * Ditto for the British Summer Time live.

Credits, charts, certifications

 * Looks good!

Radio and release history

 * Consider center-aligning the refs.

Overall

 * Putting this for seven days. Ippantekina (talk) 09:52, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
