Song and media titles

For titles of songs and mediums, use the spelling as on the medium in question, but with correct capitalization.

We always follow the capitalizing rules of the language in question.

All principal words are capitalized. Unfortunately authorities differ widely on what words are principal. In general, one could say that words of four or more letters are considered principal words. In the context of this website we will also consider pronouns as principal words.
First and last words are capitalized
Capitalize both elements of a two-element hyphenated compound word except the second element of a compound numeral.
Do not capitalize the articles a, an, and the; the prepositions or adverbs at, by, for, of, in, up, on, and to; and the conjunctions and, as, but, if, or, and nor.
Phrasal verbs should be capitalized (examples: Come On, Hold On, etc...). A list of phrasal verbs can be found here.

If a medium has multiple titles, and there is no separator used, these titles are separated by "-". If there is a separator, follow the cover art.

Artist names are proper nouns, and should therefore be capitalized as proper nouns in their language of origin.

When artist names consist of two other artist names, the conjunction should not be capitalised.
If the artist name has a specific capitalization this should be respected.

Example: dEUS

If two artists have exactly the same name the following scheme is used:

The one called "Kenny Baker" without a number should be the most famous Kenny Baker.

Same guidelines as the ones for artists.
