The article is well written, in the sense that it is concise, clear and easy to read. This article is well organized, divided into different sections related to the main topic, but I consider that the information in some of the sections is not properly structured.

Overall evaluation
The strong point of the article is its organization based on the topics presented and how they are divided into their respective sections. On the other hand, I consider that the structure and integrity of the information in some of the sections is not well developed and structured. The article can be improved by organizing this information and adding reliable and up-to-date sources of information and images to other sections of the article. Finally, it is convenient to reduce the number of information sources and only save the most essential for the article, since most do not go to the main theme, only to the download of the song and the awards it has obtained, although the objective of the article It is not exactly promoting. Even several of these fonts do not work properly and affect the reliability of the article. Modifying all these points will help make the article to be even more visually attractive to the reader and its content and the information presented will be more reliable.
