Infobox and lead
The release date is not written out anywhere in the body
Done; written in release & promotion section

Remove the ref for pop since they are discouraged in infoboxes and this is already sourced anyway
"has been described as a confessional" → "is a confessional" since "described" is not appropriate lead terminology in this context, also the confessional record detail should be mentioned in comp as well as reception, as it is fully relevant there
"The album uses live instrumentation" → "Like a Prayer uses live instrumentation" and this needs to be mentioned in comp for the same reason as the confessional record part
Not done you missed this one --

I had changed this part of the paragraph from "; she told SongTalk magazine "[...]"[1] She decided to take a more adult, sophisticated approach;..." -> "Madonna told SongTalk magazine "[...]"[1] She decided to take a more adult, sophisticated approach;..." Hence, indicating "Madonna" again would not be necessary. Forgot to clarify.

Oh very good you have clarified now, your wording is 100% correct now I have full context. --

[6] should be solely at the end of the para because it is used for the last three sentences
Here, mention the pop genre followed by the elements of numerous other ones, also adding the other stuff that I mentioned in the lead is not written here like the confessional record part
Remove the last para entirely since
WP:RSPYT not only writes off unofficial accounts (this one is not verified), but also goes against copyrighted content
[45][46][47][48][49][50] is too many refs in one place, so move them around to being after the appropriate commas for countries but don't invoke a ref more than once in a sentence
"after its third week, where it remained for six consecutive weeks, making it" → "after three weeks, remaining there for six consecutive ones, thus becoming"
Write quadruple platinum since that is the one the source shows and is specific, also platinum should not be capitalized and change units to 4,000,000 in prose then mention they were in the US
"In the United Kingdom," → "In the UK," but the URL is a singles chart that backs none of these stats up, also add chart history for the number-one and overall weeks
I can't find the Japan stats on the source, unless I missed something?
The page states "登場回数 22回", which means the album has appeared on the weekly chart for a total of 22 times.

Sorry, my translator must have not picked up on that. --

"It also became her" → "The album also became her"
Here is the
revision at the time of the review's conclusion, so the refs probably getting moved around does not confuse you about fixes
Copyvio score looks too high at over 60% for The A.V. Club, Yahoo! and Leonard talks the album at 25, as well as America Magazine at around 45%; crop down the quotes to fix this and put some into own words
Done, removed and rephrased majority of quotes. Unable to re-check Copyvio score as I am not able to get the tool to load.

Ref 9 is dead and I could not find any proper archives for it at the Wayback machine even though the ones there went back years, meaning this is a failed redirect link; remove or replace
Done, replaced with working link
