They are listed for albums, but not listed under Genres/Subgenres/Styles. There were 23 styles under Caribbean Traditions. Also Caribbean Traditions is not part of Reggae; though Reggae can be a Caribbean Tradition. Caribbean Traditions should be a Subgenre under International. Who makes these changes?

Welcome to our brand-new user portal! For years we were using another service but they are shutting down so this is the place where you can submit requests, ask a question or share your ideas in our community. You can report problems or give praise, too!

  The internet is a very different place now than it was in 1991 when AllMusic first came online. The methods of keeping a free website in business have changed, involving more technologically advanced advertisements that can be seen as intrusive to the browsing experience. Additionally, the methods that ad technologies use to serve up relevant ads can slow down a website by placing dozens of calls to multiple services before finally loading the page. We recognize this and would like to offer an alternative. At AllMusic, we pride ourselves on being the in-depth music information resource for audiophiles, researchers,

One of the things that has always been a challenge when dealing with a database of tens of millions of tracks is the best way to present that information. In the past we've been displaying "Track-based" information (a Track being defined as an instance of a song as recorded and indexed on each individual recorded release). The track "Wonderwall" as written by Noel Gallagher and performed by Oasis released as the third track on (What's the Story) Morning Glory CD in 1995, and a separate instance of the track "Wonderwall" as written by Noel Gallagher and

Many of our users have asked for more exact results in search and we've recently rolled out some functionality that enables exact string matches on AllMusic. By putting your word or string in quotes, we try to find the exact match within search results, and from there you can refine further by filtering by artist, album, song, composition, label or article. Searching for the term Rolling Stones finds thousands of results (some referencing just Rolling, some mentioning the word Stones):  

but wrapping "Rolling Stones" in quotes, it only returns 44 results containing that exact

Archival post from 2017: We've recently launched a new feature to link the birthdates, birthplaces, death dates and death places of musicians and bands, and displaying other artists who were born/formed or died/disbanded in those places and on those dates. The information is available on artist pages:   And by clicking any of these links, you'll be taken to a page that shows other artists born in that location: http://www.allmusic.com/birthplace/birmingham-england-mz0000007266 Or specific dates when artists were born and bands were formed: http://www.allmusic.com/birthdate/1967 By making changes to the URL, we also can query who was born on today's date: http://www.allmusic.com/birthdate/06-13 artists born

Archival Post from 2018: We're glad to announce a pair of new features on AllMusic to allow music fans to contribute more insight and personalization to the song information on the site. Song Reviews We've seen a lot of users sharing their knowledge and perspective by writing album reviews on AllMusic and we wanted to extend that same capability to our song pages. Now music fans can fill in some of the holes and share their opinions about the songs they love, simply by searching for a track title or clicking a song within an album's tracklist to visit the

Archival Post from 2016: We're sorry to say that we're pulling the AllMusic Roundup iOS app out of the app store and discontinuing its availability. The cost associated with licensing the information that gets displayed there was not offset by the advertising revenue we could make in the app, so it needs to be shut down. In a nutshell, it was costing us many times more to license the music information than we made in money from the ads displayed. We couldn't afford to lose money on it anymore. You can still access AllMusic on your device by going to

We know how tough it is to keep up on when new albums get released. Local record shops are becoming an endangered species and many of us miss that feeling of walking in and having the clerk say "Oh hey, I know you like The Velvet Underground so I stashed this reissue behind the counter for you."

We wanted to enable our friends to keep track of the albums that come out each week by their favorite artists, so we built a way to be a bit more like that clerk behind the counter.  Maybe a

Now on AllMusic you can add albums to your collection list by clicking "Add to My Collection" on any album page.

If you are a massive collector who scoffs at the idea of adding albums one at a time, you can also use our Collection Builder tool.

This page allows you to enter the name of up to three bands or

Archival Post from 2013

For a while now, AllMusic fans have been asking for a method to be able to sort and filter all of the different albums in our collection based on different criteria and requirements. We're proud to announce the AllMusic Advanced Album Search

You can get to Advanced Search at the top of each page.

Once there, you can use the filters on the left to select from the following characteristics:

• Genres - The broad overall classification of the music on the album.
• Styles - The more specific type of music on the album.
• Release Date (or
