- Comment: ~~Gonna fix the ALT numbers soon.~~ I don't think ALT3 is a WP:RSHEADLINES issue since it's more of a formatting issue.

Hello, I will be taking on this review. Because it's my first review, I hope you will be patient if I make any errors, and invite a second opinion.
My first impression is that, of all the alts, the best ones mention her relative popularity, as it's among the most interesting alts. ALT0B would be my preference over the first, as the specificity of 1980s is both more informative and has a shorter character count (107 vs. 110), not that either is too long. Reading the article, I can attest to the claims made in the hooks being accurate to reliable sources.
Considering that you have such a high number of nominations, I feel comfortable in trusting the veracity of sources that cannot be accessed, such as "AUDIOJUNKIE: That City Pop Vibe." Can you clarify what this source is, however? It doesn't seem to clarify what the source is, and I have no preview available.
Reading the article, history, using Earwig, and reviewing multiple references to verify accuracy, I can say that the article was created within one week of nomination, that copyio issues are unlikely, that the contents are accurate and fully sourced, and that the content is written neutrally.
Linked QPQ is valid.

Because of your experience in this space, I am assuming good faith that the paywalled sources are accurate. If this is in error, I hope to be corrected. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 11:59, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

@Cukie Gherkin: The source is The Age; it should be available on ProQuest through the WP:LIBRARY. Oh, and just to be safe, make sure length is covered; we recently pulled an article from the prep for having an incomplete review. It always helps to use {{DYK checklist}}. ミラP@Miraclepine 15:42, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know. I tried the template, but I didn't understand until I checked the template page and saw that it had fields; I'm so used to the GAN checklist generating the fields, haha. I will redo this in the checklist shortly. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 23:06, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
