Review

Lead

• "'Hate That I Love You' achieved moderate success worldwide, reaching the top-twenty in more than thirteen countries..." The term "moderate success" is a bit of an opinion I think. For another artist, this could be a major success. I think you could put something like "in comparison to her other singles" or something like that.
• "It features a Rihanna's and Ne-Yo's characters meeting their respective love interest." --> "It features Rihanna's and Ne-Yo's characters meeting their respective love interests."
• "An edited version of the video, was made for the Spanglish version of the song" Remove the comma.
• "Rihanna performed the song together with Ne-Yo and Bisbal" --> "Rihanna performed the song with both Ne-Yo and Bisbal"
• "...the set lists of Rihanna's three worlwide tours" --> "worldwide"

Background and release

• "Following her second studio album, A Girl Like Me (2006), Rihanna started working with songwriters and producers in early 2007." I think this would be better as "Rihanna began working with songwriters and producers in early 2007 following the release of her second studio album, A Girl Like Me (2006)."
• "She spent the week of the 2007 Grammy Awards with singer and label mate Ne-Yo for the follow-up album." --> "She spent the week of the 2007 Grammy Awards with singer and label mate Ne-Yo to work on the follow-up album."
• "He had co-written her previous single "Unfaithful", and she had vocal lessons with him for the then-upcoming album." --> "He co-wrote her previous single "Unfaithful" and gave her vocal lessons for the then-upcoming album."
• "'Hate That I Love You' was released as third single from Good Girl Gone Bad, only after "Umbrella" and 'Shut Up and Drive'." --> "'Hate That I Love You" was released as the third single from Good Girl Gone Bad, after "Umbrella" and 'Shut Up and Drive'."

 Done all the queries. — Tomica (talk) 23:57, 9 February 2012 (UTC

• Awesome! I will continue the review.
• "A seven minutes and forty-one seconds long K-Klassic remix of the song..." I think you could leave out the "and forty-one seconds" part.
• "On October 29, 2007, a two-track extended play was released via iTunes in certain territories. The extended play features the album version "Hate That I Love You" and the K-Klassic remix of the song." --> These sentences could better be combined as "On October 29, 2007, a two-track extended play featuring the album version of "Hate That I Love You" and the K-Klassic remix of the song was released via iTunes in certain territories."
• "In late 2007 a new Spanglish version of the song, now featuring vocals by Spanish singer David Bisbal leaked." --> "In late 2007, a new Spanglish version of the song featuring vocals by Spanish singer David Bisbal leaked."
• "The Spanglish version is also included in the live album by David Bisbal Premonición Live." --> It might be better to just say "This version is also..." because the sentence before it starts with "The Spanglish version"

Composition

• I think it might be a good idea to divide this section into two paragraphs, starting the second paragraph with the "Multiple critics..." sentence.
• "The song starts with the lyrics "Ahh, yeah, hey, hey, That's how much I love you."" I'm not sure if this is really notable. If there are quotes from the song in the article, there should be something after the quote discussing the significance of the lyrics.

Critical reception

• I think this section should be divided into two paragraphs as well, starting the second paragraph with "However, Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine..." Also, put the sentence "In a review of the album, Norman Mayers from Prefix Magazine noted that the songs on the album which were written by Ne-Yo, "don't necessarily gel" with the other part of the album, which is predominantly club-oriented." in the second paragraph.

Chart performance

• "With that "Hate That I Love You" became Rihanna's fifth top-ten on the chart." --> "This signified Rihanna's fifth top-ten on the chart."

Music video

• "Photographs of the production were leaked on the same day.[48] They featured Rihanna wearing a cream bra and grey skirt." --> Photographs of the production featuring Rihanna wearing a cream bra and grey skirt were leaked on the same day.[48]"
• "As the songs starts, Rihanna lies in bed and sings. Then, she starts to chanting the lyrics in her hotel room, while Ne-Yo continues walking down the street." --> "As the song starts, Rihanna lies in bed and sings, while Ne-Yo continues walking down the street."

References

• Some sources citing MTV News simply say MTV, be consistent. Also, MTV News should not be italicized, and the publisher is Viacom.

• They are fixed now.

• Sources citing newspapers, such as #24 and #28, should be in "cite news" format instead of "cite web".

• Added cite news. — Tomica (talk) 18:15, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

• Link Billboard and Prometheus Global Media only the first time they are mentioned.

• I am using the {{singlechart}} template, so it automatically links them. — Tomica (talk) 18:15, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
