The first sentence is too much of a run-on; mention the song being from their debut studio album, An Evening With Silk Sonic (2021), after stating who the duo consists of, then split the release into a sentence after writing/production
"was released on" → "It was released on" plus write "the album" in the new context instead
""Skate" was written by" → "The song was written by" plus shouldn't you use the stage names .Paak and D'Mile in the prose to avoid confusion? Either way, pipe Domitille Degalle to
DOMi
Yes I did, but at the same time liner notes generally credit under real names for those that use stage names, so fix to avoid confusion since the average viewer may not know those are the real names. --

To begin with, D'mile and Paak are credited with their real names on the liner notes and are piped to their wiki pages. On the other hand, Mars always uses his stage name on the credits, with a couple of exceptions in the past.

""Skate" is a
R&B,
disco and
funk song that was" → "An
R&B,
disco, and
funk song, it was" with the wikilinks
You should add actual elements of the song that critics praised, rather than a couple of quotes
"in the US it reached" → "in the US, it reached"
The word Chart should not be capitalised after Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs
"it peaked at number 12" → "the song peaked at number 12"
Is the Mexico chart really notable for the lead when it's airplay only; shouldn't Global 200 be mentioned?
Add a comma before the usage of and in the last commercial sentence
Merge the third para with the second one, as two sentences is too short
Only the rising bridge part of the instrumentation sentence should be in speech marks; place the rest in your own words and make sure the quoted part(s) are direct unless using [] to rephrase
"according to one reviewer;" → ".Paak sings at one point;" since that is a line quoted
"booty-struck" the later" → "booty-struck", on the later"
"On the bridge Mars croons while" → "On the bridge, Mars
croons, while" with the pipe
"and "groovy"." → "and a "groove"." per the sources, but the USA Today one appears to add nothing
"received critical acclaim." → "was met with acclaim from music critics." to be specific
Italicise Idolator and remove the pipe
""the perfect follow-up to" → ""the perfect follow-up" to" using double speech marks for the title too, so the chart-topping part is axed properly
""on repeat on Spotify"." → ""on repeat on [their]
Spotify"." with the wikilink; correct paraphrasing
"sing-a-long feel of" → "sing-a-long feel" of" per my earlier comment about chart topping part
"for "authentically reproduce" → "for their ability to "authentically reproduce"
"called it an" → "called the song an"
"Joe Walker, writing for HipHopDX," → "Joe Walker, for HipHopDX,"
The word staff should not begin with capitalization
"praised the song, calling it "effortless", and despite it not bringing anything new," → "praised the "effortless" song, saying that despite not bringing anything new, it is"
The speech marks for the title "Skate" are missing an ending point in the first review of the third para
Either add "the roller rink jam" part from the NME review or use ...
"Candace McDuffie writing for Paste Magazine said" → "Candace McDuffie, for Paste, said" with the pipe
"and redundant" but added" → "and redundant", but added"
"times before" but gains" → "times before", but gains"
"makes his verse" → "makes his line"
"and "entertaining" while noting its" → "and "entertaining", while noting the"
Done
Accolades
Write Siroky rather than Mary Siroky here, as you have already used the full name previously
Remove wikilink on Under the Radar
"Mark Redfern said "It's incredibly" → "Redfern said, "It's incredibly"
"such a joyous song"." → "such a joyous song."" per
MOS:QUOTE on full sentences
Done
Commercial performance
"13.4 million streams and" → "13.4 million streams, and"
"debuted at its peak of" → "debuted and peaked at" because you use it to begin the following sentence
"chart and at number 18 on" → "chart, and number 18 on"
The refs should be in the same order as the charts are listed
Italicise Rolling Stone in the name of the top 100 chart
"on
Canada Hot AC and at number 19 on
Canada AC charts." → "on the
Canada Hot AC chart and number 19 on the Canada AC chart." because the wikilink leads to the same sub-section for both
The peak for Israel does not load when I click on any of the dates near the one listed
MarioSoulTruthFan I am acceptive of your POV for all the issues apart from one point with the real names part; shouldn't you use .Paak all the time rather than real name since he is a main subject? --
