Posted: Sun Dec 14, 2003 9:23 pm
Who do you refer it:
Song, chart, tune, track ect
From Dictionary.com
Song: =
A brief composition written or adapted for singing. /The act or art of singing: broke into song.
Chart: =
A listing of best-selling recorded music or other items. Often used in the plural: A hit single that reached number 3 on the charts.
A sheet presenting information in the form of graphs or tables.
Tune: =
A melody, especially a simple and easily remembered one.
A song.
Track: =
A distinct selection from a sound recording, such as a phonograph record or compact disk, usually containing an individual work or part of a larger work: the title track of an album.
Most of the time we refer to “Songs” but that does not include instrumentals.
I use to use the term “Chart”, but that appears to refer more to the arrangement.
What on earth is the right terminology?
