Commercial performance

edit
  • This section belongs inbetween Music video and Live performances instead
Is this necessary? Plenty of Good Articles exist with this current layout of headings (Used to Love You, Hung Up, Don't Start Now, etc.)
This is the layout that I have been informed is correct, since the chart performance should be closer to the table I believe? So, yes probably. --Kyle Peake (talk) 09:38, 21 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
From my experience, I have never written an article with that type of layout before. This is also the first I have heard of this during a GAN review. Unless you think this is completely mandatory, I would prefer to leave the layout as it stands.
