If an artist name does not start with a definite article, but is credited with a definite article on a release, include the definite article in the artist credit. The exception to this is where a join phrase is used before the artist name - in this case, include the definite article in the join phrase.
- In the Nutcracker Mood is credited to "The Glenn Miller Orchestra".
- The Chesterfield Broadcasts, Volume 1 is credited to "The Andrews Sisters with the Glenn Miller Orchestra".
Multiple artists / Splits
The artist credit for tracks and recordings with multiple (unconnected) artists, and for split releases and release groups should be "Artist 1 / Artist 2" (space, slash, space).
