There is a dispute on whether Bebe Rexha is a lead singer or a featured singer. Based on YouTube [1] and iTunes [2], Rexha is credited as a lead singer. Just seeking out opinions to avoid engaging in an edit war. Redthreadhx (talk) 10:53, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, although the cover art says "Call You Mine ft. Bebe Rexha", most streaming services and articles credit Rexha as a lead artist. Billiekhalidfan (talk) 18:52, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CONSENSUS yet—one other editor agreeing with you does not a consensus make. Most streaming services credit all artists next to each other these days. When the official cover art specifically states a difference, we should be following the artist's wishes, since that received their approval and whatever streaming services choose to do/their own system of crediting was not overseen nor approved by the artist.

@Ss112: Thank you for your opinion, but do you have a basis for your claim? My preference lies in citations not assumptions... I'd rather wait for other opinions. Redthreadhx (talk) 11:29, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ss112: It is false that "most streaming services credit all artists next to each other these days." Streaming services specifically say if the artist is featured. If Rexha was a featured artist, the song would be titled, "Call You Mine (feat. Bebe Rexha)". The Chainsmokers chose to incorrectly credit the artist on their cover art, but that doesn't mean that that is correct. However, the Chainsmokers may have not even made the cover art, and the creator could have typed it wrong. All streaming services, and even on Billboard charts, credit the artist as "The Chainsmokers and [&] Bebe Rexha", so that is what should be put.

@Billiekhalidfan: You are honestly saying the Chainsmokers are "incorrect" on their own cover art...right, that makes a lot of sense, and choosing to follow streaming services, which are not an artist's decision, over something directly from the artist. And yes, they do credit artists equally. Spotify and Tidal both do it. They separate separate artists by commas in the artist field. Please, go look at any song with a feature. They might also say "(feat. Artist)" next to the title, but the artists are all credited equally in the artist field, and so users like yourself think every song has all artists equally credited. Also @Redthreadhx: Where is the "assumption"? Look at the cover art, I didn't "assume" anything. Do you think Spotify is run by the artists? It's not directly from them, it's influenced by how that platform chooses to credit artists. That's well known and in fact common sense, I don't need a "basis" for it. Also, please stop pinging me. I created this article, it's on my watchlist. Thanks. Ss112 02:13, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ss112: Could you please not be rude and use sarcasm? Streaming services like iTunes and Amazon Music that do not credit all artists equally say the song is by The Chainsmokers & Bebe Rexha, as well as The Chainsmokers' official YouTube channel. The cover art is the only source that says the song is by The Chainsmokers featuring Bebe Rexha. Billiekhalidfan (talk) 02:27, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Billiekhalidfan: Could you not be rude and please stop tagging me after I asked you not to? I just told you I created the page, therefore it's already on my watchlist. I'm pinging you because I don't know if you've watchlisted the page and you haven't asked not to be like I have. Also, please properly indent your replies so I don't need to do it for you. Thanks. If you want to raise a ridiculous claim, I will use sarcasm to express my disbelief that you're resorting to said argument. It happens all the time on Wikipedia. Get used to it. And I doubt it's the only source saying "featuring" Bebe Rexha, Billiekhalidfan, but I have not had time to look for other news sources. I'm sure they're out there. I'm really not interested in continuing this discussion, you're both acting like attack dogs over such a minor issue, which I really in the end do not care about as much as either of you seem to.

WP:CONSENSUS, but it's apparent it's another way round now. Redthreadhx (talk) 22:49, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply

Oh Jesus, I already asked you and the other editor to stop pinging me. For the final time: I created this article. Usually that indicates a user has added it to their watchlist and they do not need to be pinged. What makes you think I need to be pinged on a page I created? Also, no, you still have one editor agreeing with you. That doesn't erase the need for consensus for a change you proposed. I don't think you honestly know what "consensus" means if you think it's "another way round now", whatever that means. Ss112 22:53, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well I don’t see anybody supporting you, yet you decided to change Rexha’s role as a featured artist on the single. Billiekhalidfan (talk) 16:41, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
