Find out who performed the original
version of a particular song, or who covered that song.
Unlike many related sites, we try to be as complete as possible
(not just performer and song title, but also songwriters and original media)
and order the data in a reusable and maintainable way.
The database already contains 29863 works,
113579 performances,
2332 samples
and 36034 artists (performers and songwriters).
If you have
suggestions,
corrections,
questions,

| New editor by Bastien

SecondHandsongs looks to the east... here is our first Russian editor: nikitoz555!
Nikitoz555 has impressed us with his passion for cover songs, and especially everything that concerns cross-language covering. We're looking forward to his new entries, because they will make our database a little less english-focused and more open to the rest of world.

| Works and Performances by Mathieu
on 2009-12-22 11:41:31 GMT |
This years Christmas gift from SecondHandSongs a redesign of the internal database (and hopefully the last one of this importance!).
In the past we had 'cover' relations between songs, but that was giving us headaches in some cases where one artist recorded it first but the other released it first.
Therefore, here is the new system: we make distinction between works (the sweat of a lyricist or composer) and the performance (the sweat of a performer obviously). An original is now defined as the first performance/recording/release for a work. This means that we can now show separately which performance is the original performance, the original recording or original release. There are also lots of less visible advantages to this, which will ensure that the quality of our data will get even better.
These changes have been tested extensively. We have been working on these changes since several years! Of course there will still be some (many) bugs or problems. Just let us know. We'll be happy to fix them.
Season's Greetings from the SHS team!
