Artist credits should generally follow the actual credit used on the release / track, including the join phrases.

*[[release:2892b1e6-59d1-48c0-8295-24c663d9c573|The Fat of the Land]] is credited to "[[artist:2892b1e6-59d1-48c0-8295-24c663d9c573|Prodigy]]" (rather than the main artist name "The Prodigy").
*[[release:d00b61cb-1d56-4711-beeb-032746e690fc|Ferrari Boyz]] is credited to "[[artist:36494952-f434-45d8-a958-8b4acdbcf8a8|Gucci Mane]] & [[artist:59eda569-b380-4958-b98c-051d1667b3e1|Waka Flocka Flame]]"
*[[release:ad6c808f-2948-478a-aad5-3e02a9692e67|Cendre]] is credited to "[[artist:a6f8d42d-d3ff-4268-8d39-ee01341733bb|Fennesz]] + [[artist:a7f7df4a-77d8-4f12-8acd-5c60c93f4de8|Sakamoto]]" (as on the spine). Note that we use Sakamoto in Latin script (as printed) and not just the main artist name.

==Special cases==

===Featured artists===
Featured artists should always be added to the artist credit, not the titles. You should generally enter the credit as it appears on the release, except for any separators (like parentheses) which are intended to separate it from the track title. For example, if the tracklist has "Artist 1 - Song Name (featuring Artist 2)", enter "Song Name", by "Artist 1 featuring Artist 2".

*[[release:60f8f1f5-485b-4637-8574-23f2bb98531f|Umbrella]] is credited to "[[artist:73e5e69d-3554-40d8-8516-00cb38737a1c|Rihanna]] feat. [[artist:f82bcf78-5b69-4622-a5ef-73800768d9ac|Jay‐Z]]".
*[[recording:b040d89e-190f-47a0-af7f-20534101056c|Game Over]] is credited to "[[artist:9e2990ab-4d3d-4fb5-bd9b-1252440f043a|Tinchy Stryder]] featuring [[artist:bb7dd5d7-95e6-46a0-9692-cb99134995b6|Giggs]], [[artist:7684f1ee-2154-475f-b05d-608c91a0e3e9|Professor Green]], [[artist:3cce3d37-d44f-46a2-b1e3-cd7247d5015c|Tinie Tempah]], [[artist:a2006708-8bc2-41bc-a9e9-72d14d7ce850|Devlin]], [[artist:ddeb3502-8693-4619-b41d-263105f84477|Example]], [[artist:54266e9c-7098-48ea-bb70-e25fdfa14227|Chipmunk]]".
*[[recording:8e236347-61d6-4e11-9980-52f4cc6b905f|Inflation]] is credited to "[[artist:6ec73176-6ea6-49d3-87e8-35b5fe6813f5|Promoe]] med [[artist:541ebc51-8d70-4d9f-9950-b702cec3c68d|Afasi]]".


===Definite articles===
If an artist name does not start with a definite article, but is credited with one, include the definite article in the artist credit. If the article can be seen as part of the join phrase ("and the", "with the", "y los") then include the article in the join phrase instead.

*[[release:5b45204b-5de5-4192-a416-fd73dd1e2ca2|In the Nutcracker Mood]] is credited to "[[artist:ce8cacb6-c917-41f5-b403-8fb601c89e70|The Glenn Miller Orchestra]]".
*[[release:f0cfc670-9f33-4792-9d7b-566a66d70d2c|The Chesterfield Broadcasts, Volume 1]] is credited to "[[artist:f5f22a9c-a00c-49f9-8123-329b632da79c|The Andrews Sisters]] with the [[artist:ce8cacb6-c917-41f5-b403-8fb601c89e70|Glenn Miller Orchestra]]".
*[[release:48900567-9ccd-437d-89c0-6ec633053088|Les Fleurs du Mal]] is credited to "[[artist:68665d04-2915-4e64-8188-2040b895f278|Gripper]] / [[artist:3e5b2a20-d499-46a7-9e96-0eea18f161b5|The Destructors]]", since "/ the" isn't a logical join phrase.

===Multiple artists / Splits===

The artist credit for tracks and recordings containing multiple songs by different artists, and for [[wikipedia:Split_album|split releases and release groups]], should be "Artist 1 / Artist 2" (space, slash, space).

*[[recording:3e40a6fd-d14d-4018-9385-9d22b131190d|Outsider / 14:31 / 110 Mistakes]] by "[[artist:daec4ca8-7f91-4d7b-b362-1fbcae1390ea|Burufunk
]] / [[artist:8179e236-86df-459f-bd51-0107138d0a6a|Global Communication]] / [[artist:b2e88c42-c535-43ad-b1a7-0c64f4cb961a|MOT]]" (track with 3 songs)
*[[release:86298e0a-4f20-4c36-8c33-a36c9d38c68f|Faith / Void]] by "[[artist:f735a867-9a16-451f-8f83-669ed42e2574|Faith]] / [[artist:960a1d2f-2b5f-4fcf-bf11-4957529a6508|Void]]" (split release)

===Specific types of releases===
Some types of releases, like classical, theatre or audiobook releases, have their own, more specific guidelines for artist credits. Check [[Style/Specific types of releases|our list of types of releases with their own guidelines]]. Those guidelines override this one.
