Radio single[edit]

Does anyone know if this song was released as a radio single? It was originally listed as a single on the main Casting Crowns article, but was removed with no reason here. It also originally claimed it reached #1 on the Hot Christian Songs chart in 2003 on its original article, and Voice of Truth originally linked to it as the next single, so I think it might have, but I'm not sure.

To my knowledge, it was never released as a single, but gained decent airplay on Christian radio (like Set Me Free from Lifesong); it might have charted on one of the Radio and Records charts, but I'm not sure. Toa Nidhiki05 23:03, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Info box
  • You need a comma after 'Glow in the Dark Studio (Decatur, GA)' as you list another recording studio.
  • For the record label, a comma is fine. Don't need to use slashes.
Lead
  • What album is Declaration? Debut? second? 10th?
    • The number of the album isn't nessecarily important here, but I did add the year of release. Toa Nidhiki05 16:08, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "American Dream" was made into a music video, the band's first, depicting the deterioration → "American Dream"'s accompanying music video, the band's first, depicts the deterioration
  • of family → of his family
  • If it got radio release, that means it was a single.
    • That might be the usual case, but it was apparently not here - the record label insists only three singles were released. It really depends on whether or not the record label or radio release are more reliable. Toa Nidhiki05 16:08, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • Lots of songs are released to radio as singles, Rihanna does it frequently. But if their record label insists only three were released, then I'll let this go.  — AARON • TALK 16:13, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Background and recording
  • "American Dream" was produced by Mark A. Miller and Steven Curtis Chapman. It was recorded at Glow In The Dark Studio in Decatur, Georgia and at Zoo Studio in Franklin, Tennessee, and was engineered by Matt Goldman and Sam Hewitt. → No need for this to be by itself, just keep this section as one paragraph.
Composition
  • According to the sheet music published by Musicnotes.com, → Remove, sounds a lot better without
  • been described as being arena rock.[6] The song has been described → Try not using the same word so close
  • Chapman's album Declaration creating → Need a comma after Declaration
Reception
  • Two really short sections. I would remove the sub-section titles, and have the critical, accolades and chart prose all as one paragraph.
Live performances and other uses
  • Keep as one paragraph, single sentences by themselves doesn't look good.
  • Not really supposed to have two audio samples. I'd remove this Acoustic one.
Music video
  • Again, one paragraph. In fact, I would rename Live performances and other uses to Promotion, and merge both sections as one paragraph.
Status

Very short article, so not much to critique on or to fix. On hold.  — AARON • TALK 15:42, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
