• as well as the top ten in over 25 countries → as well as reached the top ten in over 25 countries
• Two of its singles, "Million Reasons" and "Joanne" → comma after "Joanne" unnecessary
• Many articles noted the impact of the album on the musical endeavors of artists like Kylie Minogue → simplify: "Many observers noted the impact of the album on artists like..." surely the impact is seen in their works? - therefore "endeavors" works Just some thoughts.

  IndianBio, Wanted to make sure this is still on your radar. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 14:32, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

@IndianBio: Note it's been for over a month on hold now. You'll have to start working on it or otherwise I will sadly have to fail this. Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:01, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

@Cartoon network freak: IB hasn't been around for four weeks. I'd recommend proceeding to fail. If they were around, I'd have cut them some slack, but I've seen this happen before. They disappear for long periods. dannymusiceditor ^oops 00:55, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
