A fact from Hello (Pop Smoke song) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 April 2021 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
It was written by Pop Smoke and A Boogie wit da Hoodie, who are credited under their legal names of Bashar Jackson and Julius Dubose, alongside Steven Victor, Jason Avalos, Alex Petit and Ricardo Lamarre. The latter two handled the song's production. → It was written by the two artists alongside Steven Victor, Jason Avalos and the song's producers, CashMoneyAP and Rico Beats.
Not done, we need to mention that the two rappers were credited under their real names. Rico Beats and CashMoneyAP producer the track.
I'm not saying we shouldn't mention that, I'm just saying it is not notable for the lead. It is however 100% notable to be placed in the body of the article, that is why I didn't ask for it to be re-worded below. LOVI3317:09, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Hello" features instrumentation of piano, strings, and drum. → The song features a piano, strings, and drum instrumentation.
Pop Smoke references basketball player Manu Ginóbili while A Boogie wit da Hoodie declares himself the king of New York and says Pop Smoke would be too if he were alive. → In the lyrics, Pop Smoke references basketball player Manu Ginóbili and A Boogie wit da Hoodie declares himself the king of New York City while stating that Pop Smoke would also hold that title if he were still alive.
while reaching the top 40 in Greece and Canada. → while reaching the top 40 of charts in Greece and Canada.
The song initially charted → "Hello" initially charted
Then, the track later peaked at number 97 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart → The song later entered the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 97.
I don't like the listing of different chart positions. Try writing them out in full like what you did for the United States or say "It peaked within the top 40 of ...., the top 50 of...., etc"
Not done There are not that many chart positions so I am going to leave it like this.
Copyvio score is too high at 40.5%. Check your wording on ref 12.
Make sure all these are archived
Ref 1: I recommend using the {{cite tweet}} template
Not done
Ref 5: Right now the archive-url is in place of the url, please fix this; Top 40/Rhythmic-Crossover > Future Releases → Top 40 Rhythmic Future Releases; All Access should be cited as a publisher
Overall I think this is a great article and could definitely be GA, but I have one concern. I think that this article was nominated a little too soon. Considering that it just entered the Billboard Hot 100 this week, I would say it hasn't reached a peak yet. I usually would recommend waiting until it has reached its peak in most major markets to nominate as if you don't it usually leads to stability concerns. Plus the song was released just a month ago meaning more information could surface about the song. Due to this, I'm going to have a Second opinion requested to see what other editors think.

@The Ultimate Boss: I just realized that you probably weren't notified that I finished my review since I opened it for a second opinion so I am pinging you now. It would be great if you could respond to my comments. I'll make my decision whether to fail or pass this article in the next few days. LOVI3303:48, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
LOVI33 I would like to comment that in my opinion, this article's recentness does not lead to potential issues with stability because it was a Pop Smoke posthumous release so he obviously can't promote it, plus the Hot 100 position was an entry after the song previously appeared on the Bubbling Under chart rather than its actual debut on Billboard charts. So in my opinion, it should be passed. --K. Peake11:01, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@LOVI33:, @Kyle Peake: is right. If you do not know; Pop Smoke was shot and killed during a home invasion last year in California. I lived in California for a year when I was six and my family and I moved because we thought it was too dangerous (And man were we right). The song is also only rising on the Hot 100.

@The Ultimate Boss: I appreciate your opinions but I cannot take them into consideration as you have bias since you are the nominator. I will however take Kyle Peake's into consideration. However, I definitely cannot pass this article at the moment. I have signaled some of my comments in which you haven't done and I have responded to your reasoning about having the the real names producers in the lead. The comments about the prose and the cite tweet template I can be a little more lenient on, but you definitely have to fix the charts as at the moment, they are not currently backed up by a source.

Just looking over the article now, I've noticed that the Portuguese and Swiss refs also aren't working. Please fix this as well. LOVI3317:14, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@The Ultimate Boss: thank you for that. Although I was just doing a quick check over the article and the I think the NZ Hot Singles source you have is wrong. You claim it peaked at number 6 on the chart but the source says number 37. Also the prose says it peaked at number 8. It would be great if you could also fix this. You also haven't given me a reason why you didn't re-word the first sentence. LOVI3314:03, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
