tracklist

Album's song sequence

A tracklist is the ordered sequence of songs or audio recordings on an album, playlist, or similar compilation.

It specifies what appears and in what order: The tracklist drops Friday before the album releases.

Artists deliberate over tracklist sequencing to control pacing and narrative flow.

In electronic music contexts, a tracklist may document songs played during a DJ set.
