OVERALL REVIEW

After reviewing this article thoroughly, I have decided to put this article on hold at this time. There are many grammar and spelling mistakes that are keeping this article from reaching good article status. I believe these mistakes can be fixed within the general seven days allowed, so that is why I put it on hold. - Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 01:27, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Fixed Background section errors and 'teh remix'. WIKIPEDIAN PENGUIN ^(♫♫) 01:53, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Wikipedia Penguin for fixing the other errors, and thank you Rp for reviewing the article. As for {{singlechart}}, here is my point. {{Singlechart}} is especially useful for articles which are not organized, devoid of sources, have low visibility among the users and prone to carelessness. Not the case with the Lady Gaga articles, where every article is pruned and honed to perfection, including the charts, the body, the references etc. Hence the organization is also done better here, and does not need singlechart template to validate it. Also, it was decided through an extensive (even exhaustive) discussion in my talk page that the template is really not mandatory and is decided by the above scenarios I mentioned. Please check if there are more issues that you can see. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 05:29, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Since all of the issues have been addressed, I feel confident putting this article in good article status. Congratulations and keep up the good work. - Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 18:28, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
