What does the capital A mean next to a track. It appears next to a track on one album, but not next to the same track on another album.

Hi Pete,
This is one of our Frequently Asked Questions.

How do you determine an album or track pick?

When looking at an artist's discography, you may see a blue arrow with the AllMusic logo next to the album cover. That represents the Album Pick for the most representative album of that artist's entire body of work. It may be a well-known hit album, a compilation of the artist's best songs or just a really great record.

On specific album pages you may see that same blue logo and highlighting next to two or three tracks on a recording. Those are Track Picks, the songs on a recording that our editors feel are most representative of that entire album.
