List of English signature songs

(Redirected from Signature song)

A signature song is the one song (or, in some cases, one of a few songs) that a popular and well-established recording artist or band is most closely identified with or best known for. This is generally differentiated from a one-hit wonder in that the artist usually has had success with other songs as well.

Judy Garland singing "Over the Rainbow" for the film The Wizard of Oz (1939), which became her signature song

A signature song may be a song that spearheads an artist's initial mainstream breakthrough, a song that revitalizes an artist's career, or a song that simply represents a high point in an artist's career. Often, a signature song will feature significant characteristics of an artist and may encapsulate the artist's particular sound and style. A band or group can have a signature song as a whole while an individual member may also be strongly identified with a different signature song from the same catalog; for example, Fleetwood Mac's signature song is widely considered to be "Don't Stop",[1] but the band's song "Landslide" is regarded as member Stevie Nicks's signature song as she wrote and performed it.[2]

Signature songs can be the result of spontaneous public identification, or a marketing tool developed by the music industry to promote artists, sell their recordings, and develop a fan base.[3] Artists and bands with a signature song are generally expected to perform it at every concert appearance, often as an encore on concert tours, sometimes being the last song of the setlist.[4]
