QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough and long enough, it is neutral and well sourced. Earwig picks up a bit of a quote, but otherwise no close phrasing, so all OK. QPQ is done. Hook is interesting, but I couldn't see a reference to the Singles Chart in the source - could you clariy the chart part of the hook? Thanks Lajmmoore (talk) 16:35, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake, I kept rewording the hook. Try [1].--Laun chba ller 18:15, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Launchballer - hook is good (& citation archived here), all OK Lajmmoore (talk) 09:13, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer and Lajmmoore: am I missing something, or is the hook just not that interesting? Is there nothing better than "... that a singer sung a song which appeared (fairly low) on a songs chart?" ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:03, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The interesting bit is "queer anthem", given that neither Egypt or Sudan are known for positive attitudes to homosexuality.--Laun chba ller 06:09, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose. Why is she called English in the lead then? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 01:23, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because I assumed that she was until I wrote the article, and forgot to take that bit out. I think there's some MOS dictum that says nationality should be left out of the first sentence altogether, so that's what I've done.--Laun chba ller 01:49, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
