Rule: Valid support status
Rule 62: Valid support status
Support status is for crediting artists who play a minor role compared to the main artists in the same role. It should only be used when there’s a clear separation of main and support artists. If there is only one artist in a certain role, the support status should never be used.
Valid examples:
- Backing vocals, e.g., a background chorus when the main vocals are sung by another vocalist.
- Background illustrators (to distinguish them from the main illustrator).
Support status can’t currently be specified to a specific artist role. For example, if a song composer is also responsible for the background image, the support status should not be used.
Effects of support status:
-
Support status removes the artist(s) from the artist string and affects the search through the “Only main songs” filter.
-
Artists with support status never appear in the “artist string” of the song/album.
-
Support artists are shown in parentheses and after all other artists.
