I'm sorry but I'm afraid I will be quick-failing this article for several reasons. Mainly because it does meet the requirements per criteria 3a, which means the article must be broad in its coverage in all aspects. The article really only discusses the success of her singles and doesn't mention anything regarding her singing/musical style, which is practically a standard on singer articles. Several sections end without citations, with ""My Heart Will Go On", originally sung by Celine Dion, was later released as Larsson's debut single.", "Larsson performed four new tracks from her album in an event in Sweden recently, called "Wanna", "Funeral", "Mississippi" and "Permission"."The song sold platinum in Sweden after two weeks."and Larsson was featured in the official song of UEFA Euro 2016, David Guetta's "This One's for You". "Not to mention the article is suspected of 90% plagarism.

Some of the citations also don't backup what's being said, such as Ref #25 which doesn't backup all of the chart positions mentioned, and Ref #26/27 doesn't call MNEK a Grammy-nominated artist (which is original research). Also, several paragraphs within the sections are just sentences, and the bulk of the article's length is a list of awards, with her pending nominations at the BRIT Awards being completely unreferenced. I'm additionally not sure how reliable websites like Posh24 are, and there is not a consistent date format for the citations. Even Ref #35 lists 31 January 2017 as the publication date, which is impossible considering today is 20 January. I'd highly recommend sending this to WP:PR before resubmitting this for GA review. You're on the right track but the article is a bit too far from meeting the current criteria at this time. Regards, Carbrera (talk) 02:15, 20 January 2017 (UTC).

@Carbrera: Hi! Thank you very much for the feedback and I will most certainly use it to improve this article. However, I am not so sure about the plagiarism accusations. It looks like urban96.fm has copied their bio for Larsson from here. If you look a the line at the website where they say "The five-song EP, Allow Me To Reintroduce Myself, was released on 5 July 2013." there is a [19] next to it. That line is where reference 19 was located before I added a bunch of citations yesterday. What do you think? Regards,

@Jith12: If that is the case, then the reference would be considered unreliable and therefore should not be used. Carbrera (talk) 01:53, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

@Carbrera: Many apologies for the extremely late reply. I never received the ping from you reply. I have removed the reference to urban96.fm. Does the article still need the plagiarism tag or can it be removed now? Thank you, Jith12 (talk) 02:17, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
