Album and song titles are often found in uppercase on the back cover of CDs. For example, the album [[http://musicbrainz.org/release-group/964ccc52-2873-3bce-a806-73d71532c539.html|Songs of Love and Hate]] by Leonard Cohen is written as SONGS OF LOVE AND HATE on the cover. This is usually the choice of a graphic designer, not the artist. So, instead of copying the title from the cover, we follow certain rules to capitalize a title. There rules are different for each language, please see [[Capitalization_Standard]] for more information. |
