     51At first glance, one might say that only one class Artist is sufficient, but it quickly reveals its limits. A few examples: 
     52 
     53 1. '''Chicane feat. Tom Jones - Stoned in Love''' (http://www.discogs.com/release/650389) 
     54 2. '''Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren - Light The Skies''' (http://www.discogs.com/release/944142) 
     55 
     56Let's forget for a moment that this are in fact ''release''s and not ''song''s and ''concentrate'' on the artists: In the first case there are two artists, '''Chicane''' and '''Tom Jones'''. Or is there one artist called '''Chicane feat. Tom Jones'''?[[BR]] 
     57The second case is a bit more difficult, as there is a an artist on discogs called [http://www.discogs.com/artist/Cerf%2C+Mitiska+%26+Jaren '''Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren'''], but it consists of three members, Jaren, Shawn Mitiska and Matt Cerf.

     59Discogs has the following [http://www.discogs.com/help/submission-guidelines-release-artist.html guidelines for artists], which say that "''Artists which commonly collaborate together should be listed as one artist''" and "''Do NOT attempt to split artists who regularly collaborate. (Regular collaboration consists of 3 or more collaborations (different releases), excluding remix EPs)''".
