Please use the following standard guidelines for capitalizing artist names, album and song titles in the English language. Other rules may apply to other languages; see above link for guidelines regarding Spanish language artists and titles.
All titles should be in standard mixed case, where the first letter of each word is capitalized and followed by lower case letters, as noted below:
1. Always capitalize the first and last word of a title, even if it would otherwise be lowercase.
* Purple Rain
* Greatest Hits
* And You and I
2. Capitalize all nouns, verbs (including is, am and other forms of "to be"), adverbs, adjectives, and pronouns (including its).
* Love Is in the Air
* I Am the Walrus
* That Was Then, This Is Now
3. Do not capitalize:
a. Articles: a, an, the (unless part of an artist's name)
* The Man Who Sold the World
* In a Safe Place
* The Best of The Temptations
b. Coordinate conjunctions: and, but, or
* Rattle and Hum
* It's Now or Never
* Nothin' but a Good Time
c. Short (three letters or less) prepositions: as, at, by, for, in, of, on, to
* Live at Woodstock
* Face to Face
* Death Cab for Cutie
* Pretty in Pink
Special Note: The word "versus" (and its abbreviated form "vs." or "v.") is commonly left in lower case, despite its being a preposition of more than three characters.
* Spy vs. Spy
* Birds v. Worms
d. When used to form an infinitive: to
* Nowhere to Run
* How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
* Song I Love to Sing
4. If a title is broken up by major punctuation (colon, question mark, exclamation mark, em-dash, parentheses, or quotes), treat each distinct piece of the title as a whole, and always capitalize the first and last words of each division.
* Otis! The Definitive Otis Redding
* In Time: The Best of R.E.M.
* I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock 'n' Roll Band)
5. In compounds formed by hyphens, capitalize each part except where the part would not be capitalized if it were a separate word.
* The Go-Gos
* At the Drive-In
* Sleater-Kinney
6. Only use all caps for acronyms or abbreviations where common use is all caps.
* R.E.M.
* N.W.A.
* R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.
7. Capitalize contractions and slang consistent with the rules above to the extent that such clearly apply. For example, do not capitalize o' for "of", or n' for "and", etc.
* Rock 'n' Roll
* Will o' the Wisp
* Sweet Child o' Mine
8. Proper nouns should always be capitalized appropriately. This includes parts of band names separated by the word 'and' (for example) where the two parts could stand alone, grammatically.
* Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds
* Elvis Costello and The Attractions
* Huey Lewis and The News
