Guidelines / Performer aliases on Releases

What are Artist Aliases
Stick as close to the release as possible.
Various artists
Singles
- If the single as a whole is specifically attributed to a artist, choose that artist.
  
  Example: Don't Let the Sun Go down on Me is an EP by George Michael and Elton John
- If the single as a whole is not specifically attributed to an artist, and the performances are attributed to variations of the same artist: The performer of the single is the common part.
  
  Example: Single Sing Along by Jimmy Dean . Side A performed by Jimmy Dean with Ray Ellis Orchestra; Side B performed by James Dean with Jimmy Carroll Orchestra. We will attribute this single to "Jimmy Dean".
- Split single: The performer is the joint artist "Artist A - Artist B". Do not use various artists. See also [Special types of Releases](Special Types of Releases
