Infobox

Lead

[edit]

  • it also appeared on the chart in Slovakia. → it also charted on the singles chart in Slovakia at number 53.
  • Link music video
  • Mention only live performance?

Background

[edit]
  • (2007), and the completion of the album's → (2007) and finishing its supporting tour,
  • Despite their announcement, they soon began work on the album. → Source?
    • Done; added source. Till
  • I'd change the title of this section to "Background and release"
  • Perhaps say what the extended play consists of?

Composition

[edit]
  • For the audio sample, is 38 seconds 10% of 3:10?
    • No it's 20% but in my defense I didn't upload it (don't know how to). Till
  • How can you use the album notes for genres?
  • The single release has a length of 3:10 (three minutes and ten seconds). → This implies that the album version is different in some way?
  • According to the digital sheet music published at Sheet Music Direct by Sony-ATV Music Publishing and EMI Music Publishing, → Not needed.
  • "No Can Do" samples the song "Yes It's You", performed by Tennessee artist Sweet Charles Sherrell. → Sherrel was a bassist, not a singer, and helped produce songs for James Brown, so how does it sample something of his?
  • As you have included info about Keisha explaining the lyrics, I'd change the title of the this section "Composition and lyrics"

Critical reception

[edit]

Commercial performance

[edit]
  • Why don't you use the Official Charts Company website archive for the peak instead of Musicweek? You can't get much more reliable than the Official Charts Company website.
  • brought their total single sales to three million. → Is this over their entire career?
    • Yeah but as of now it's like 4 million. Till
  • "No Can Do" failed to chart on the Irish Singles Chart, becoming the group's first single since "Soul Sound" to not chart in that country. → No source, so remove.
  • Why not mention the European chart?

Music video

[edit]

Live performances

[edit]
  • No issues.

Track listings

[edit]
  • I'd change this to "Formats and track listings"

Credits and personnel

[edit]
  • Vanessa Brown died in 1999, how is she credited?
    • Wrong Vanessa Brown LOL. Fixed. Till

Charts

[edit]
  • No issues.

Release history

[edit]
  • No issues.

References

[edit]
  • I went through and corrected any that were erroneous.
  • You need to to change every reference to the date format: Day/Month/Year, for example 1 January 2000 (No comma). This article is about a British group, and is written in British English, so the dates should be written in British English.
    • Is this necessary? I mean people will know the date. All their articles follow the 2000-01-01 format. Till
  • Sheetmusicdirect link doesn't go to anything. Why not use Musicnotes.com ?
