Very high quality article; it is well-written (1), verifiable with no original research (2), covers all areas (3), is neutral (4), stable (5) and illustrated appropriately (6). The article is of the same standard as an equivalent GA such as the Shakira album She Wolf on which the author also worked.

A few points:

• The release date should probably come immediately after the first sentence, currently it meanders into the development beforehand
• Rm the duplicate "studio album" of the first sentence
• "peaked atop", slightly strange wording, perhaps just "topped the charts"
• I believe that the listings under Genre in the infobox are usually cited
• "Impact and legacy": "as of today", perhaps more accurate / future-proof to say "as of 2013" when the sources verify (similarly in the last para of the lede)

• "the Spears'", rm 'the'

I can't believe I put that there --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 14:30, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

• "Track listing": is it essential to have the note on co-producers. Can we not assume that they are co-producers because they share that credit with Shakira in each instance?

I think one would not. Atleast I would at first glance believe that the two produced it together. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 14:30, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

• "See also": crossover artist could be linked under "Impact and legacy" (and also in the lede) rather than here as its own bullet, as per WP:MoS on not duplicating See also and main text links
• "Poem to a Horse" links back to this article

Having said those things, there is nothing that prevents this from being considered a GA, and therefore I pass the article. Well done! MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 23:00, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Wow this is my first instant GA pass! I am grateful; thank you for reviewing the article! I have also made the changes you have listed :) --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 14:30, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Clearly all the experience you've accrued on the other music-related articles is paying off, this was a very competent work and you clearly know the GA criteria. Cheers, MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 15:22, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 16:29, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
