list of signature songs

File:Judy Garland Over the Rainbow 2.jpg singing "Over the Rainbow" for the film The Wizard of Oz (1939), which became her signature song]]

A signature song is the one song (or, in some cases, one of a few songs) that a popular and well-established recording artist or band is most closely identified with or best known for. This is generally differentiated from a one-hit wonder in that the artist usually has had success with other songs as well.

A signature song may be a song that spearheads an artist's initial mainstream breakthrough, a song that revitalizes an artist's career, or a song that simply represents a high point in an artist's career. Often, a signature song will feature significant characteristics of an artist and may encapsulate the artist's particular sound and style.

Signature songs can be the result of spontaneous public identification, or a marketing tool developed by the music industry to promote artists, sell their recordings, and develop a fan base.{{cite book | last = Umphlett | first = Wiley Lee | title = The Visual Focus of American Media Culture in the Twentieth Century: The Modern Era, 1893–1945 | publisher = Fairleigh Dickinson University Press | year = 2004 | page = 157 | quote= This practice soon began equating performers with signature songs as a way to promote and sell recordings and sheet music as well as establish a cult of fans to market these songs to.}} Artists and bands with a signature song are generally expected to perform it at every concert appearance, often as an encore on concert tours, sometimes being the last song of the setlist.{{cite book | last = Prescott | first = John | title = A Career in Show Business: Variety Entertainer | publisher =Institute for Research | location = Chicago | year = 2000 | page = 8 | quote =And if there's a phrase ... or you have a signature song ... then your audience will probably be disappointed if you don't repeat yourself.}}
