Show Features | Combine Versions
What if on the Artist page, there was a button to click "Include Features" that then reads tracks that have "with (Artist Name)" or "feat. (Artist Name)" so that way when we make charts to show biggest hits, it includes songs where the artist is a guest.
For example, it currently shows Midnight Sun as Zara's biggest song on my charts, but it's really Stateside.
Also, could we have a feature to combine versions? Maybe a button to click and then Zero reads tracks that have the same primary title "Stateside" and "Stateside (with Zara Larsson) OR "Stateside + Zara Larsson" and then we can select which one (or multiple) we'd like to merge. It'd be really interesting to see which songs are truly the biggest hits when all remixes are included (think Fancy Some More, BRAT, Girl's Trip etc).
Sympathy Is A Knife easily becomes Charli's biggest hit if versions are combined.
Hi, these are good suggestions! I’ll bring them up to the admins!
Regarding your merge idea, do you mean merging songs just for the purpose of getting a quick data (e.g., “these three versions combined total 3M in sales for this song”) without permanently merging the songs as it’s available now?

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Like a temporary merge on the artist profile so that a chart can be made with the merged figures w/o permanently merging the songs.
I loved both ideas, especially combining different versions of a song! It would be awesome if this also worked on a broader level, both in the library and on the weekly charts:
In the library, it could show a breakdown by version, similar to how the tracklist looks inside an album page.
On the weekly charts, when you click to see the full chart-run, it could show the breakdown for each version. The version with the most plays that week would display as the main one, but everything would still count toward a single chart entry.
