  • ... that Of Monsters and Men filmed the music video for their song "Visitor" in February 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic began? Source: "We shot the music video for it in Iceland in the freezing cold of February right before the pandemic hit." link

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Eligibility and plagiarism checks are fine and no QPQ required as user only has one DYK credit. The hook just isn't very hooky or noteworthy - they're a band, they film music videos all the time. The fact it happened to be a month before the pandemic took hold doesn't seem particularly notable to me. Happy to revisit if an alternative hook is suggested.

BigDom, how about this? ALT1: ... that although it spent only one week on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, "Visitor" was the fifth Adult Alternative Airplay number-one for Of Monsters and Men? Link for AAA claim, Link for amount of weeks on the main Rock chart. 👨x🐱 (Nina CortexxCoco Bandicoot) 23:20, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@HumanxAnthro: I agree that's more interesting with the comparison. Facts are cited inline in the article. Everything else still checks out, good to go on ALT1. BigDom (talk) 05:43, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
