" "Heartbreaker" pushed Carey even further into theR&B andhip-hop market, becoming her first commercial single to feature a hip-hop artist." <----- this is incorrect as past singles such as "Fantasy" and "Always Be My Baby" and "Breakdown" featured Hip-Hop & R&B ArtistsMRGQ (talk)23:17, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your logic is incorrect. "Fantasy" featured O.D.B in the remix version, not the international and radio version released worldwide. Same applies for "ABMB". Now for "Breakdown", notice I wrotelead single. Make sense?--CallMeNathan •Talk2Me23:51, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

RPM archives says the song peaked at number 5, Allmusic says it topped the chart in Canada. I don't get what to put in table. Any suggestions? –Cannot (talk)16:16, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It has been a while since this article was reviewed, so I took a look and noticed lots of uncited statements, including several large paragraphs. Should this article go toWP:GAR?Z1720 (talk)16:01, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited statements, including several large paragraphs.Z1720 (talk)00:31, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: Do I understand that this is all regarding theMusic video section?mftpdan^oops13:22, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• @MFTP Dan: In addition to the "Music video" section, the last paragraph of both "Remixes" and "Live performances" are uncited. I also see that there are some very large paragraphs that would benefit from being split into multiple paragraphs.Z1720 (talk)13:27, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Thank you for expounding on that, I will take a further look. Regarding the music video, I wonder if the rules have changed since 2011. I believe it used to be accepted that the synopsis of a music video could be relayed without citations with a few exceptions, like one would a plot section for a film. I was unsure if you were aware of that, or if it's still the case. As for the other places, I agree those will definitely need to be cited, but I would like further clarification on the rules for music videos.mftpdan^oops13:31, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• @MFTP Dan: Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, I think all of that text is covered underMOS:PLOT. However, I didn't realise that it was all the plot of the video because of how long it is. I think this can be summarised more effectively, and other text that concerns the production of the music video (like the actors involved) should be cited.Z1720 (talk)14:45, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Fixed the music video plot. I will address the others at another time.mftpdan^oops01:25, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
