Interesting album, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I'd be more interested (in hook and article) in what the music is like than the measured success, but interests differ. If you want to stay with this hook, I suggest you get the "(1993)" somewhere else or even drop it (who needs the precision), - we don't yet know what this title means (book, painting ...?) at that point. - In the article, I'd create a lead with the key facts, and have a history section, to get the TOC up (which now comes when the article is almost over). This is just a suggestion, not needed for an approval. In a hook, I'd go for the musician's wish of no compromises, but as you like it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:42, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I threw into the hook a couple of musical genres and dropped the 1993. Hitting number 1 is a big deal, so I'm sticking with that fact in the hook. At the article, I went the other direction and eliminated the TOC. The lack of published material on this album prevents the degree of expansion that you describe. I think an article like this works fine with three or four paragraphs of prose in one big section. Binksternet (talk) 17:51, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

all fine with me. (If further discussion was needed, I'd like to see both hooks together, old and new.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:57, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
