@The Midnite Wolf: The hook is only interesting if you know who all of the listed musicians are and as such does not meet WP:DYKINT. Please propose another.--Laun chba ller 20:25, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@The Midnite Wolf: Please address the above.--Laun chba ller 23:58, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer: I think all of those musicians are pretty well known? Maroon 5 has had five albums peak at either #1 or #2 in the US, Kali Uchis had an album at #2, and Wilco has had two albums at #4. That said, I've added an alternate hook. The Midnite Wolf (talk) 03:26, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hooks need to be interesting to a broad audience, and I've never heard of Wilco and only know Uchis as the partner of Don Toliver. Full review needed.--Laun chba ller 07:36, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
