Auto-fail: Article is unfortunately not stable when the album was released less than a month ago and things could easily change (i.e. might get new chart peaks when selling more copies/getting streamed enough). Either way, this definitely isn't broad enough in coverage when its sole discussion of commercial performance focuses on the US. Not talking about other nations at all within prose is a major problem when America is far from the only place it charted in. Other countries matter as well. Furthermore, when 10 different reviews are included within the review box under "Critical reception", I recommend at minimum elaborating on all of those. You currently just have commentary from seven critics. Give this some more time to settle down and expand on reviews as well as chartings within other territories before renominating (I don't recommend taking back to GAN anytime soon, especially not before November 2020). On a more minor note from glancing at the lead, "American R&B singer-songwriter Alicia Keys" is needlessly wordy and I'd just go with "American singer Alicia Keys", especially when using genre in opening sentence like this gives a false impression that she only has made R&B music. Let's not oversimplify the type of material Keys has worked with. You also may as well mention all singles by name there when saying it had seven prior to album distribution. Looking into the article body, I don't recall ever seeing a "Marketing and sales" section for any other album articles; how many copies something sold tends to get a separate section from how it was promoted. When expanding to include chart details from other countries (also providing first-week sales/streaming figures when possible), that should be plenty for a separate commercial performance section. Better luck next time. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 14:25, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

I will renominate next month. But please don't pick it up. isento (talk) 15:43, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
