• Not a review, but if we go with ALT1, I recommend trimming "being used as the theme song of The Perfect Couple".--Launchballer 16:33, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

• Hi MaranoFan. This article, moved to mainspace on the 2 October, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and copyvio-free. All hooks short enough, included in the article, and cited. QPQ done. I think the first hook is the most interesting and punchiest. Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 18:07, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

• "which was a doo-wop and bubblegum pop record" - why "was"? perhaps "was identified by critics as a doo-wop..."?
• "She included "Criminals" on the set list" - "Trainor included ..."
• "Criminals" is two minutes and 34 seconds long" - shouldn't this be "two minutes and thirty-four seconds" or "2 minutes and 34 seconds" per MOS:NUMNOTES?
• "the American mystery drama miniseries The Perfect Couple" - "the American mystery drama miniseries The Perfect Couple (2024)"
• "caused its Spotify streams to increase by 1770%" - can we include the period? perhaps "from the show's release week till the last week of September" but you can paraphrase this however you like
• I think there may be some better sources than the Rough Draft Atlanta one
• The Charlotte Observer source has a limited access
