Signature song

A signature song is the one song that a popular and well-established artist is identified with even though they have had success with a variety of songs. These songs are often praised by a particular performance of them by an artist at a concert or other event of significance. Praise often also occurs if the song has been responsible for creating a new style, trend or genre or for bridging the gap between two things that were once considered anomalous.

An artist may have different signature songs in different parts of the world depending on where they are praised. Often artists have more than one signature song, a feat which is common even in one area of the world. The songs can be from a mixture of albums, however it is common for numerous signature songs to be from one particular album that was considered their best work. Signature songs generally tend to be songs met with the most critical success rather than commercial success; just because a song by an artist sells millions of copies does not make it a signature song.
