out the lyrics== Sniff, sniff... ==
Sniff, sniff, I smell a copyvio... But without the lyrics, there really isn't much of a page. is this a candidate for deletion? --Superpika66 (talk) 02:56, 24 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
You're right about the lyrics, so I deleted them. The article is likely notable enough to stay, but it needs expansion with stuff like chart position and the like. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 16:07, 24 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
'Adds' is a term used to indicate the number of radio stations that have added a song to their station's playlist in a given chart week, so 'recieving X adds' means the song was added by X stations during a given week. Another usage would be an 'adds' date, which is the date a song is officially released to radio, ie. going for 'adds'. :) ToaNidhiki0515:04, 26 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
No, there isn't, unfortunately. I understand the confusion - it is jargon used in the industry - but there's not really much that can be done to explain it on-page. ToaNidhiki0517:14, 26 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
It won the Dove Awards for Song of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year at the 39th GMA Dove Awards; the band also performed the song at that event. --> This reads awkwardly. Not sure if the fact that they also performed is relevant. Also, "it won the Dove Award"
I'm seeing too many usage of the "it". Try to alternate between "it", "the song" and the song's title.
By my count there are fourteen uses of the song title, thirteen of "the song", and ten of "it". Is that a good enough split for each? ToaNidhiki0522:19, 15 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
"East to West" received 78 adds in its first week, a record at Christian radio, and peaked atop five chart formats, as well as at number twenty-five on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. --> This also reads awkwardly. It can probably be split into two sentences.
It ranked at number six on the decade-end Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart and at number seven on the decade-end Billboard Hot Christian AC chart, as well as inside the top fifteen on both the 2007 and 2008 year-end Hot Christian Songs and Hot Christian AC charts --> It ranked at number six on the decade-end Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart and at number seven on the decade-end Billboard Hot Christian AC chart. Additionally, it ranked inside the top fifteen on both the 2007 and 2008 year-end Hot Christian Songs and Hot Christian AC charts.
signifying sales of over 500,000 digital downloads. --> Digital isn't needed there.
It is needed on that one; the RIAA has separate certifications for physical and digital singles because they count shipments for physical singles and actual sales for digital singles. ToaNidhiki05
I have the single version on my iTunes library and it is the exact same cover as their album The Altar and the Door. However, it isn't available as the single version on iTunes or Amazon anymore and thus isn't verifiable. ToaNidhiki0517:59, 15 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Background
Background is information that happens before the production/release of a song. This basically just talks about production. I'd say merging Composition and Background together would be a good idea.
Fixed, changed to 'Recording and composition'. ToaNidhiki05
Composition
F♯ minor, and has a tempo of 77 beats per minute. --> F♯ minor at a tempo of 77 beats per minute.
Seeing as there is also information here about winning awards, I'd say a retitle is in order. I don't think the subheaders are really needed, so how about just have all this under reception?
"East to West" was released as the lead single from Casting Crowns' 2007 album The Altar and the Door. --> This part is more of background info. Doesn't really belong here.
It advanced to number one in its seventh week on the chart;[13] in total, "East to West" spent forty-three weeks atop the chart[14] and spent a total of nineteen weeks at the top spot, tied with Brandon Heath's "Give Me Your Eyes" for the second most weeks at number one in the history of the Hot Christian Songs chart --> Way too long of a sentence. Needs to be broken up.
