Mr. Misunderstood[edit]

Created by The Cross Bearer (talk). Self-nominated at 03:51, 10 November 2015 (UTC).

  • Comment: this really needs some serious copyediting. There are numerous confusing and run-on statements throughout the text. The hook is also confusing because it's suggests that it was the CMAA tie-in that was surprising, but that's not what billboard is talking about. Suggest:
ALT1: ... that Eric Church's album Mr. Misunderstood was released with no prior warning, and sent to his fan club members the day before it went on sale?

Agreed. The hook from editor, Maury Markowitz, is way better than the one I came up with, thank you!The Cross Bearer (talk) 05:07, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
OK, date, cite, hook, newness, all good to go. Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:14, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
