Very little information and it really only indicates chart positions that are already on Charlift's article. This should be a redirect to Chairlift (band). JE98 (talk) 02:23, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I should note that this song is by far Chairlift's best known, having been featured in a 2008 iPod nano commercial. For this alone it has received a fair bit of media coverage, e.g. here and here. In March 2009, NPR's Tamara Vallejos even stated, "Brooklyn-based electro-pop trio Chairlift may not seem familiar to you at first, but no doubt you've heard its ridiculously catchy single, "Bruises," while flipping through TV channels." [1] In fact this song's appearance in this commercial is credited with making Chairlift itself become famous: "By 2009, though, they had become the reluctant poster kids for a popular wave of twee indie thanks to a ubiquitous Apple iPod Nano advert, which featured the cutesy bounce of their breakout song Bruises." [2] The song has also been remixed by Passion Pit. [3] Further coverage of the song: [4] [5] [6]. IntoThinAir (talk) 04:09, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep: this is indeed the band's best-known, and best-selling, single – the article already notes that the song charted in the UK, Canada and Australia, and it charted in Germany too [7]. Charting in four different countries might be enough to demonstrate that it is notable, and the fact that IntoThinAir has demonstrated that there is some coverage of the song in reliable sources as well which could be turned into prose.

Redirect to Chairlift (band) - not notable enough for a stand-alone article - Epinoia (talk) 19:16, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect to Does You Inspire You. Doesn't seem to be enough here to warrant a full article. All the stuff that's here, apart from the chart positions, can be found on the album's page. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 01:09, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
