trainsskyscrapers Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Question: What is the rule regarding crediting and soundtracks? Beyonce is a credited vocalist on 13/20 tracks of the main edition of Dreamgirls OST that went #1 on the Billboard 200, and 19/33 on the deluxe edition (including instrumentals/score/scrapped film tracks).
