QPQ: Done.

Overall: QPQ just needs doing now, otherwise article's in great shape. My preference for hooks are 0>1>2, though I wonder if something like ALT3 ... that Japanese Breakfast released versions of their song "Be Sweet" in both Korean and Simlish?" would work just to make clear that they were official versions and not covers by other artists. How does that feel? —⁠Collin^{t c} 18:54, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Soulbust: in case you haven't seen this yet. Thanks! —⁠Collin^{t c} 17:22, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Collin, QPQ is now complete. Also, I really like the tweak in wording you suggested. I think it's better for sure, I was just trying to think of how to wikilink Be Sweet ahead of other possible links in my ALT0. But I prefer the wording you suggested. Thank you Soulbust (talk) 02:26, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Soulbust! QPQ is good and article is ready to go. I checked the hook guidelines and didn't see anything about the DYK article needing to be linked first so if you're happy with ALT3 then so am I. Striking the others. —⁠Collin^{t c} 15:03, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Done, but seeing how "shortly after the single's release" followed up the March, and the March 2021 release date is aforementioned in article, was wondering if the "2021" was necessary?

What does "an extra tip" for the Belgium chart mean?
- Chart terminology sometimes trips me up or is silly in a way, but I'm pretty sure it's a reference to Ultratop#Ultratip chart. Kinda similar to the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart in the U.S. Added wikilinks that I think help with clearing that up a bit. Soulbust (talk) 05:24, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
