Enya prior to the Fugees not crediting


but now she receives all royalties from Ready Or Not 💸:disco:

Completely off topic but I'm glad others are noticing this too. You just don't get what you're looking for these days. I'm not even talking about all the sponsored crap on there, but it seemingly twists your queries into what it thinks you mean, or what it thinks is more commonly asked...

A good three quarters of my Google searches end with Reddit because it's much more reliable than what gets served up otherwise
 
The rise of click-baity content hasn't helped either. If I ever have a tech question I barely bother looking it up any more because each site is seemingly the same points slightly reworded over and over. Check your device, check your internet, contact your supplier, as infinitum. Most unhelpful.

ANYWAY, song credits...
 
Yup, I normally add "Reddit" to my searches too. For more niche stuff ChatGPT can be remarkable.
 
I suppose Ann Lee (Wigfield) and both Sandy Chambers and Jenny B for a plethora of acts, but most famously Corona and also JK (You & I for B and My Radio for Chambers).

I've never seen anything to suggest Ann Lee wants that. I guess writing credit must keep her in hair clips.

Michael Jackson on Somebody's watching me.

I think I remember the story of this was that the chorus was supposed to be sung by a collective of famous voices together due to Rockwell’s Motown family connections. They apparently just scrapped the other voices to make it obviously Michael Jackson without the credit.
 
Adam Lambert on Avicii's Lay Me Down and MØ for Dear Boy, but then again, these DJ albums rarely credit the main vocalist.

Does Cathy Dennis count for Toxic and Sweet Dreams My LA Ex?

Useless fun fact-y ones: Dean Ester for Nicki Minaj's Superbass and Rihanna's S&M, Emma Bunton in Mel B/G's Sophisticated Lady, Bonnie McKee finished Kesha's Wherever You Are because of a fallout with Dr. Luke, Charli XCX on Selena Gomez' Same Old Love, Megan Trainor for Fifth Harmony's Sledgehammer, Chris Brown on Rihanna's Disturbia, Justin Timberlake on Britney's What Its Like to Be Me, Ronnie Spector for Take Me Home Tonight.

I love this topic, I've seen a hundred Tiktoks talking about this
 
pretty obvious ones:

Taylor Swift on John Mayer's Half of My Heart 💀
Taylor Swift on This Is What You Came For by Rihanna
Justin Timberlake on Where Is The Love? by the BEP
Katy Perry on Goodbye For Now by P.O.D.
Kesha on Right Round by Flo Rida
Chapell Roan on Can't Catch Me Now by Olivia Rodrigo
Ed Sheeran on Love Yourself by Justin Bieber
Keri Hilson on Break the Ice, Gimme More, and others by Britney from Blackout.
Tulisa on Scream and Shout by Britney :D :disco:
 
Carol Kenyon on Heaven 17's Temptation.

There must be lots of 'oldies' records which were released as by another act. He's a Rebel credited to The Crystals was famously recorded by Darlene Love and The Blossoms.

None of the featured acts on that album are credited individually, including Bryan Ferry, so it isn't a slight against Will.

The album does credit them en masse on the reverse sleeve. Odd though I agree.

They must have had an arrangement to do with money or perhaps requested not to be credited as it would change things legally - I don’t know.

I can understand not crediting Saint Savior for example as she was a session singer and live performer for a while so technically part of the group. But to not leverage the name value of Will and especially Bryan Ferry is quite strange.
 
The rapper on Chaka Khan’s “I Feel For You”

The rapper on SWV’s “Right Here”

In fact lots of rap cameos on 80s and 90s R&B songs were never credited. I mention those two in particular because they are both iconic rap moments.
 
Lisa Keith on "Criticize" by Alexander O'Neal.

Jimi Tunnell on "Let The Music Play" and "Give Me Tonight" by Shannon.
