closing song
Show's last number
A closing song is a musical piece that ends a performance, ceremony, or broadcast.
Television shows have closing songs over their credits, religious services end with closing hymns, and concerts finish with closing numbers.
The term emphasizes the song's placement rather than its musical qualities: The band played their biggest hit as the closing song.
