GOCE copyedit request

• It also charted at number one on the Billboard K-pop Hot 100 and number four on the US World Digital Song Sales chart, in addition to reaching top ten peaks in Malaysia and Singapore. I guessed what was meant by "top ten peaks" further below, but to clarify, it's supposed to stand for "top ten songs"? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 04:40, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

• Yes, "top ten peaks" as in the song entered the top ten in record charts of these countries. --Ashleyyoursmile! 05:54, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

 Done. Reworded to "one of the top ten songs". —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 16:00, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

• On January 7, 2020, KOZ Entertainment posted a concept teaser on its official SNS account to announce the title and release date of the track. What is a "concept teaser" and how is it different from a regular teaser? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 04:40, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

• It is a regular teaser, well in this case it's a photo teaser. But in general, "concept teaser" is somewhat specific to K-pop; kind of to give an idea of the concept behind the album/single. --Ashleyyoursmile! 05:54, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

 Done. Leaving as is. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 16:00, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

• The challenge involves performing the "easy-to-follow" choreography by Zico to the track. Is the trend still around or is it over? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 04:40, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

• I don't get to see many news on this challenge these days, so maybe safe to assume that the trend is over?--Ashleyyoursmile! 05:54, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

 Done. The most recent news I could find was in February or March, so I'll tentatively change it into past tense. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 16:00, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

• It achieved an "all-kill" and became the first song of 2020 to do so. What does "all-kill" mean? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 04:40, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

• Take a look here All-Kill. Hope this helps. --Ashleyyoursmile! 05:54, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

 Done. Wiki-linked to the section. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 16:00, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

• "Any Song" peaked at number four on the US Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart on the week of January 25, 2020, and became Zico's eighth chart entry and fourth top five songs on the chart. Does "fourth top five songs" mean Zico's fourth song to make it to the chart's top five, or does it mean fourth out of the top five songs on the chart? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 04:40, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

• Apologies for my poor phrasing, but its the former. --Ashleyyoursmile! 05:54, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

 Done. Reworded. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 16:00, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

@Ashleyyoursmile: Looking forward to your responses! —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 04:40, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

• Tenryuu, thank you for taking up this request. I have responded to your queries above. --Ashleyyoursmile! 05:54, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

@Ashleyyoursmile: Okay, I think that's everything here. I'll consider the request to be complete; if you have any concerns let me know! —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 16:00, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold for the first review I took on of one of your articles in over a month, have faith the changes will be fixed in a week or less since it is small! --K. Peake 11:29, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

• Kyle Peake, thank you so much for taking this up so quickly. I have mostly fixed the issues pointed out by you and left two comments above. Also, can you take a look at the "Commercial performance" section once? I have added the line: "The song's commercial success has been attributed to the viral dance-challenge." which I'd initially forgotten. If you think the sentence needs a fix please feel free to suggest. I'm also thinking if this sentence should be added to the lead? --Ashleyyoursmile! 12:53, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

• Ashleyyoursmile Change "the viral dance-challenge" → "its viral dance challenge", plus you also need to make the fix that I explained in references after my previous mistake and then this article will be fine. Also no, I do not believe it needs to be included in the lead even though that looks sick at three paragraphs currently that will look even better on the GAN page soon!!! --K. Peake 12:57, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

• Kyle Peake, and done everything that you asked for. Thank you once again for another amazing review. :) --Ashleyyoursmile! 13:06, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

• Ashleyyoursmile ✓ Pass now, good job on this! --K. Peake 13:41, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
