All About That Bass

 * ... that All About That Bass was inspired by an Ellen Degeneres Show segment? Billboard
 * ALT1:... that All About That Bass was a sleeper hit? Source: Rolling Stone

Improved to Good Article status by MaranoFan (talk). Nominated by Trillfendi (talk) at 22:23, 30 April 2019 (UTC).


 * Hi. Thanks for the nomination and the improvements to the article. I did briefly consider nominating this for DYK and these are the hooks I was considering if anyone's interested:


 * ALT2:... that Meghan Trainor's song "All About That Bass" was written in 40 minutes? Source: Rolling Stone
 * ALT3:... that "All About That Bass" made Meghan Trainor "the poster girl for the larger woman" according to The Guardian's Caroline Sullivan? Source: The Guardian
 * My problem with the main hook is that All About That Bass didn’t really break any streaming record, since it’s success was gradual and resembled a sleeper hit. Cheers!—NØ 08:19, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I guess the record it broke was charting based on streams (in the UK at least). “Congratulations to Meghan Trainor, who scores an historic first in the Official Singles Chart with her single All About That Bass. In scoring the first Top 40 hit on streams alone, she really has broken new ground.” Trillfendi (talk) 11:26, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I replaced it entirely since “somebody” (haters gonna hate hate hate) disagreed with it’s inclusion in the article at all. I put the trivia about its inspiration instead. Trillfendi (talk) 20:39, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg  This looks mostly good to go, (new Good article, only pings on Earwigs are from cited quotes, no close-paraphrasing, hooks are neutral and are short enough for DYK), it just needs a QPQ from the nominator and sources for ALT2 and ALT3. I personally think ALT2 is the most interesting, pending confirmation of source. Morgan695 (talk) 23:47, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Shouldn’t QPQ not be required since Trillfendi (the nominator) has only received credit for 2 DYK noms? Added the sources you asked.—NØ 07:29, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Yup, you're correct. My mistake. Striking the other hooks, so the article is good to be moved and promoted. Morgan695 (talk) 17:40, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
 * If the nominator has less than 5 DYK credits then no QPQ is required (they are free to do so if they wish, but it's optional). I am also stating my preference for ALT2. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:33, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
