Read the whole guideline[edit]

Don't try to treat a single as an album: "Most songs[note 5] do not rise to notability for an independent article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song. Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable.—User:Kww (talk) 19:05, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is in response to a message I see posted on user Kww's talk page:

Note the wording in your quoted text. "album" and "officially released albums"... to expand your full quote with the words you omitted: "Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable."

In other words: yes, albums have notability based only on the notability of the artist. However, songs must meet more eligibility requirements before they can become articles. ~ [ Scott M. Howard ] ~ [ Talk ]:[ Contribs ] ~ 19:11, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
