Nicki Minaj lead section

Hi. My recent edits try to get the lead section simple and less chart-driven, like Rihanna's intro. Is overkill read Hot 100 over and over. She will have a fourth album (maybe chart-topping) with top tens. Would we mention the chart agains? Cornerstonepicker (talk) 22:11, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

@Annvarie: now the description is vague, pop crossover means the rapper has entered another market with that music style. If you write 'rap crossover' is misleading, since she's a rapper and can't crossover to rap. Pop crossover is easy to understand. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 05:04, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

I guess we need a third opinion. @SNUGGUMS: Sorry to bother, but we are discussing the term 'pop crossover successful singles' for Minaj lead. Several sources (cited on the article) have highlighted her pop crossover success with "Superbass" and "Starships", being her most comercially successful singles I think it should be included. Pop crossover since she's a rapper (main genre) and started in the pop market after those songs, with both being described as "pop-rap" and "electropop", respectively.

Minaj has been deemed as "Pop" since her debut into mainstream music. Even her article lists her as such. What exactly is the point of highlighting that Super Bass and Starships are pop if the article states that she is pop. It is misleading as it gives the impression that Minaj's only pop songs are SB+SS. The "pop crossover" desription works for an artist like Taylor Swift who's first venture in mainstream music was country before dabbling into pop a few albums later. This is not the case for Minaj who has had pop material since her first album and even on her mixtapes (although this doesn't really count). Annvarie (talk) 05:43, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

I don't see the need to highlight crossover songs in the lead to be honest. My answer would be maybe if this was for albums, but song genres are better for article body. Snuggums (talk / edits) 05:53, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Don't remove sources that are required to prove a new peak. You are going against a core Wikipedia policy, WP:Verifiability, in removing that peak. Every page a new peak appears on needs to be sourced. If you don't like where it's placed, move the reference to the header, but it needs to stay on the page, otherwise you can and will be reported for not sourcing your edits and being disruptive. If you actually think copypasting a URL in an edit summary is sufficient, you need to brush up on how to reference on Wikipedia. Nobody can see it unless they click on the edit history; it needs to appear on the page. Ss112 19:17, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
