This guideline applies to cases in which one or more artists are ''featured'' on a track or release by another artist, but not equally as they would be in a [[Collaboration Relationship Type|collaboration]]. That is, they are given credit on the cover or track listing of a release by another artist in a manner which elevates their contribution above normal liner note credits. Often, the word "featured", "feat." or "featuring" proceeds their name(s). |
|||
== Guideline == |
|||
At the track-listing level: |
|||
# File the track/release under the normal primary artist. |
|||
# Append the name of the secondary artist(s) to the [[Track Title]]/[[Release Title]] as follows: |
|||
#* "''Put Your Lights On (feat. Everlast)''" |
|||
We retain the following pre-NGS guideline while the legacy ws/1 guideline remains in place. This prevents legacy users suddenly being overwhelmed by the appearance of numerous "X feat. Y" pseudo-artists. These are created by the webservice as it doesn't handle artist credits. |
|||
At the recording level: |
|||
# Fill out the artist credits for the primary artist(s) in the usual manner. |
|||
# Add a join phrase of ' feat. ' (note the surrounding spaces) |
|||
# Add the first featured artist. |
|||
# Add additional featured artists, each separated by ', ' and the final one separated by ' & '. |
|||
This has the advantage that the recording is listed under all credited artists, not just the primary ones. In example three below, this makes the recording appear under all seven artists rather than just the one. |
|||
In both cases: |
|||
# Add [[Advanced Relationships|Relationships]] of the appropriate [[:Category:Relationship Class|Relationship Class]] (usually [[:Category:Performance Relationship Class|Performance]]) to link to the featured artist(s') entries in MusicBrainz. |
|||
==Details== |
|||
* The [[Track Artist|TrackArtist]]/[[Release Artist|ReleaseArtist]] is the main artist a track/release is credited to. This means, the artist mentioned on the release cover (in most cases the front cover), package or any other labelled package like entity that describes the release (e.g. release page for online releases). |
|||
* Featured artists tend to be performers, but they can also be contributors to the technical production process (mixers, producers, record engineers, etc.), remixers and others. The different roles are explained in [[:Category:Compilation Relationship Class|Compilation Relationship Class]], [[:Category:Composition Relationship Class|Composition Relationship Class]], [[:Category:Production Relationship Class|Production Relationship Class]], [[:Category:Remix Relationship Class|Remix Relationship Class]]. ''Note, that composers are often the '''main''' artists of classical releases (see [[Classical Style Guide|ClassicalStyleGuide]]) and remixers or compilers can also be main artists if they fit into 1.'' |
|||
* If a track features both "Foo" and "Bar", it should be entered as "... (feat. Foo & Bar)". For more than two: "... (feat. Foo, Bar, Baz ... & Quux)". |
|||
==Examples== |
|||
The following examples give the appropriate credits at both track and recording level. |
|||
# Track-level: "Umbrella (feat. Jay-Z)" by Rihanna |
|||
## artist-credit-1: Rihanna |
|||
## join-phrase-1: ' feat. ' |
|||
## artist-credit-2: Jay-Z |
|||
# Track-level: "4 Minutes (feat. Justin Timberlake & Timbaland)" by Madonna |
|||
## artist-credit-1: Madonna |
|||
## join-phrase-1: ' feat. ' |
|||
## artist-credit-2: Justin Timberlake |
|||
## join-phrase-2: ' & ' |
|||
## artist-credit-3: Timbaland |
|||
# Track-level: "Game Over (feat. Giggs, Professor Green, Tinie Tempah, Devlin, Example & Chipmunk)" by Tinchy Stryder |
|||
## artist-credit-1: Tinchy Stryder |
|||
## join-phrase-1: ' feat. ' |
|||
## artist-credit-2: Giggs |
|||
## join-phrase-2: ', ' |

|||
