title tracks

Album's namesake songs

A title track is the song on an album that shares the album's name: The title track from "Thriller" became one of Jackson's biggest hits.

Not every album has one—the term only applies when a song and its album share a title.

Title tracks often serve as the album's centerpiece or lead single.
