:* Remove pipe for futuristic per MOS:OL
- Per WP:PLOTCITE, it's fine to only use the music video as a source for its own plot, but since this isn't really an MV with a plot per se, it would be best to find a secondary source to describe the visuals to avoid WP:NPOV (even if the visuals are not that contentious)

=References=
- Sources for Spotify and Apple Music should be |via=
- Pipe for Official Charts Company, no need for (OCC) afterwards
- Is there a Billboard ref for the BBMAs other than the video? Preferably an article with an author
- Everything else looks okay!
=Final comments=
Sincerest apologies that it took nearly two weeks for me to complete this review, I have been really swamped with real-life responsibilities! I hope you get the time to complete making the edits, but like I mentioned above, I think additional images and more sources would be necessary for it to pass as a GA, since it is relatively bare-bones right now. benǝʇᴉɯ 20:48, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
: Failing due to inactivity, but feel free to renominate! benǝʇᴉɯ 00:52, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
