General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - The original hook is way too long (215 characters). I suggest these:
    • ALT2a ... that 19-year-old mxmtoon, who self-produces lo-fi songs recorded in her parents' guest bedroom, has been streamed over 100 million times?
    • ALT2b ... that 19-year-old mxmtoon, who self-produces lo-fi songs recorded in her parents' guest bedroom, nearly sold out an international tour before releasing her first album?
    • ALT2c ... that 19-year-old mxmtoon, who self-produces lo-fi songs recorded in her parents' guest bedroom, has been streamed over 100 million times and nearly sold out an international tour?
QPQ: Done.

  • Thanks for taking the time to review, Epicgenius! I like all three of the ALT2 hooks, and I'd like to suggest one more (184 chars), that's a combination of those three:
    ALT3 ... that 19-year-old mxmtoon, who records lo-fi songs in her parents' guest bedroom, reached 100 million streams and nearly sold out an international tour before releasing her first album? – Levivich 21:37, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
    @Levivich: ALT3 looks good, it is 184 characters (under the limit). epicgenius (talk) 23:25, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
