DYK for How You Get the Girl

On 18 November 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article How You Get the Girl, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the choreography of "How You Get the Girl" during the 1989 World Tour (pictured) resembled that of the musical Singin' in the Rain? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/How You Get the Girl. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, How You Get the Girl), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
