Number 1

According to Billboard "Skirt" peaked at number 2 on the US Dance Charts. So, from where's the information that it was, is or will be on number 1?77.23.191.42 (talk) 18:09, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Single cover.

I'm trying to find the most accurate cover art for the song, and I've seen the following versions:

iTunes and Spotify version (that also, curiously, spells her name wrong)
Discogs version, that may be a bit more dubious.
Keep the version used in the article

Also pinging @CaliforniaDreamsFan: due to his hard work on the album recently. Thanks. TheKaphox T 10:59, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@TheKaphox: It's hard picking one isn't it? I would personally leave the current version as it is, mainly because it illustrates the single consistently without having different versions for the same format (digital download), and a similar version was used when the track first broadcasted. Also, Roc Nation (Minogue's ex-management team) and Rising Music themselves have published it as the artwork, so I just think it's fine as it is; nevertheless, thank you
