All's eyes on us! Cherry on Top is here on FA Nom!

Bini Cherry on Top is deserve to nominate on FA because of the hype and featuring on all social media. Not just on the Philippines, but Worldwide like MTV, Popcrave etc. The boom of popularity of this song or the rising of Bini is deserve to be FA.

Little Background to girl group: Bini (Formerly Star Hunt Academy Girls or SHA Girls) is a Filipino girl group formed in 2019 through ABS-CBN Star Hunt Academy (SHA). The group composed by eight members: Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen (singer), Stacey, Mikha, Jhoanna, and Sheena.

Background to the song: Cherry on Top is a bubblegum pop and was released on July 11, 2024 through Star Music. This song was topped chart on iTunes Philippines and became top trending music video on YouTube. It is rare or let say have a recognition on other countries especially to U.S because Cherry on Top was featured on NBA and perfomed by Los Angeles Clippers during the halftime show (This is the game Toronto Raptors versus LA Clippers).

This is my first time to nominated on FA so I expect have a problems here and open for criticism, changes on the article or you have suggestions, i will appreciate that. I love Modern OPM songs and I am a Blooms, it might not a Conflict of Interest just because of biases on the girl group (Lol).

Again, I will appreciate all your feedbacks and I will entertain as much as I can. And if you not familliar on some sources you might check WP:TAMBAY/RS where the sources on the Philippines is here (not might completely here). Thanks! Royiswariii Talk! 15:46, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to oppose here. Aside from the very thin and short nature of the article, the prose isn't up to FA standard (short stubby sentences rarely are). I also can't see anywhere in the body that supports the opening paragraph's claim that "its lyrical theme includes confidence" – such an error is a huge red flag for me.
Terms such as pagmamano, balikbayan box, walis tingting and pandesal all need at least an explanation in the footnotes as we have a global readership who won't have a clue what these are. There are also a few MOS blips along the way that need sorting out. - SchroCat (talk) 16:20, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"It was released on July 11, 2024, by Star Music" → can convert to active voice: "Star Music released it on July 11, 2024." (also, some info on the nature of the release would be helpful: promo single, single, a debut single, lead single, etc.?
"and its lyrical theme includes confidence" → suggest converting this to a separate sentence and expanding on it. a "lyrical theme" is something, it doesn't really "include" something
"with Bini members Colet and Maloi participating in the songwriting process" → this is confusing as we are previously told it was "Written by Boy Matthews and Gaby Ramirez". participation but not credited?
"The song topped the iTunes Philippines Top Songs chart and became the top trending music video on YouTube, garnering two million views in less than 24 hours after its release." → Per WP:SINGLEVENDOR, we generally don't care about iTunes, especially as this song entered main Billboard charts for Philippines anyways. Ditto "culminating in topping Spotify's Daily Top Songs chart".
"On November 17, 2023, Bini released" → we need to pretend readers are starting the article at the body, as the lead summarizes rather than introduces. Right now there is no description of what Bini is like there is in the lead.
I find the background section lacking as it mostly focuses on past commercial successes rather than including a sense of artistry, vision, personal life, recording career, etc.
The music video section generally doesn't come after the composition section.

Based on these examples, I would have to oppose right now. I would encourage revision of the article's prose and structure and hope to see it back at FAC in the future. Best, Heartfox (talk) 23:00, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Heartfox!

I will edit all your suggestions, I will address this: "with Bini members Colet and Maloi participating in the songwriting process" → this is confusing as we are previously told it was "Written by Boy Matthews and Gaby Ramirez". participation but not credited? Based on credits of Apple Music they didn't credit Maloi and Colet and I don't either know why Star Music didn't credit for that (I asked to myself too) But, maybe Maloi and Colet just a little contribute or on words they helped and not so huge contribute on the song.

So this is will remove on lead? This lead i was copy and little changes from Gento (song) (an FA too)

I find the background section lacking as it mostly focuses on past commercial successes rather than including a sense of artistry, vision, personal life, recording career, etc.

How about we can add this Biniverse Concert tour? Since, Talaarawan (Diary) is at the same time as Salamin, Salamin (Mirror, Mirror), they announced during the conference of Talaarawan.

The music video section generally doesn't come after the composition section

What do you mean?

I will mention here AstrooKai, some of the questions I can't answer or just a misunderstanding. And huge contribute on this article. Royiswariii Talk! 01:01, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Colet's and Maloi's participation: The two only participated in the song's brainstorming, but did not composed or produced any parts of the song the way a composer or a producer would do. I can't cite the reference for this since it was a video of them showing this that is only available on their website (a fan-exclusive access website to be specific). But someone uploaded that video on YT,[1] so I guess you guys can check that to confirm this.

Note that this is only for clarification about the two members' participation, not for sourcing it to the article. Let me know if you guys have other questions. AstrooKai (Talk) 02:07, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
