Overview

Overall, the page looks like a well referenced and structured song article. However I've got some concerns relatively to it.

Prose, OR and templates

First and foremost, shouldn't the December 30th release have a reference supporting it? I see its release is addressed only in the infobox and chart performance sections without a footnote. I did notice that in the Track listing section, you used a liner notes-citing reference (do its liner notes include any information on the radio release and promotional status)? If it's a promo single like it's stated in the chart section, the infobox should be changed to the promotional single box.
This article is relatively small; you could address the recording process in detail (who mastered it, who played the instruments...)
The use of "@" on the infobox seems too casual for Wikipedia.
"according to LA Weekly — this should be in the beginning of its sentence so it reads "According to (...), the use of the sample offended detractors". Could you substitute 'detractors' with a synonym?
Who described the positive vibe as (...)? Add that information to the article.
"anthough" — typo; "it is infectious" seems like your opinion, the sentence should read "despite considering it infectious"
Reference 3 is used consecutively (WP:OVERCITE)
""R&B Junkie"'s positive vibe was described as a sonic "ambrosia".[4] Additionally, a "churgling synth burble" rumbles it. The song has "oh-oh-ohs" throughout the verses and on the chorus."" — doesn't flow
The reception section changes the tense incorrectly... in my opinion you should change the present to past tense.
Epinions isn't a reliable source... (WP:RSN)
1982 is missing the closing quotation mark.
Which reviewer from Billboard reviewed the song? Why is that information supported with a BBC Music footnote?
Fox News is frequently a non-neutral source and while I wouldn't say it's Perez Hilton, I wouldn't say it's The New York Times either. If you can find a different source it would be helpful but not mandatory.
Could you use a div-col temp for the Credits section?

References

IGN Music is missing publisher, as is Yahoo! Music. Remove Prometheus Global Media to keep all the references coherent.

Links

All the external and disambiguation links are up to code; duplicate links excluding those in the lead section were checked.

I think it's all

Done. Thanks for the review. Alex ^{talk page!} 18:29, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the corrections and "R&B Junkie" is now a GA!

False passages removed[edit]

I've removed two passages which falsely claimed that the 2004 BET Awards show "was notable for being the first televised broadcast to be aired without any customary delay" following her Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy.

See the footnote on this page, which says, "Two months after the Super Bowl incident, Jackson hosted Saturday Night Live without tape-delay, or incident, on April 10, 2004." The awards show was in June 2004. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:37, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
