The Vamps Soundtrack Kung Fu Fighting from the Film Kung Fu Panda 3

Hi Wikipedia & ColinFine This is A Question which is Below

Wikipedia How come the Vamps Soundtrack for Kung Fu Panda 3 a Promotional Single Not a Single. I don't get it.

Please someone/User tell me Why this is different to the rest Below that's all I want.

A lot of the Soundtracks for Films are Singles, Even Cee Lo Green with Jack Black sings Kung Fu Fighting and it is a Single.

In 2006 Brad Paisley who is a Country Singer who sang 2 Soundtracks Called "Behind the Clouds" & "Find Yourself" from the Film Cars (soundtrack). These here are Not In the Promotional Singles Table Because They ARE NOT FREE DOWNLOADS & They are From A FILM & Is a Singer As Well.

In 2011 Brad Paisley Sang "Nobody's Fool" "Collisions of Worlds" (with Robbie Williams) from the Cars 2 (soundtrack) Which are Singles & from the Films Listed.

In 1997 Seal Sang "Fly Like an Eagle" From The Film Space Jam Soundtrack which are Singles & from the Films Itself.

In 2001 Seal Sang "This Could Be Heaven" From the Film The Family Man Soundtrack, which is a Single & from the Films Itself.

In 2006 Seal Sang "A Father's Way" from the Film The Pursuit of Happyness Soundtrack which is a Single & from the Films Itself.

In 1996 R Kelly Sang "I Believe I Can Fly" From the Film Space Jam and the Album Called R. Which is a Single from the Film & The Album.

In 1997 "Gotham City" From the Film Batman & Robin and the Album Called R. Which is a Single from the Film & The Album.

And The Very Last Example is Phil Collins Sang in 1985 "Separate Lives" (with Marilyn Martin) From the Film White Nights Soundtrack Which is a Single from the Film.

In 19988 Phil Collins Sang "A Groovy Kind of Love" & "Two Hearts" from the Film Buster Soundtrack Which Are Singles from the Film Itself.

In 1999 Phil Collins Sang "You'll Be in My Heart" From the Film Tarzan Soundtrack Which is a Single from the Film Itself.

In 2000 Phil Sang "Strangers Like Me", "Son of Man" & "Two Worlds" from the Film Tarzan Which are Single from the Film Tarzan like You'll Be In My Heart.

In 2003 Phil Collins Sang "Look Through My Eyes" from the Film Brother Bear Soundtrack Which is a Single from the Film Itself.

In 2004 Phil Collins Sang "No Way Out" from the Film Brother Bear Soundtrack Which is a Single from the Film Itself.

So You See from these Examples, NONE OF THEM ARE IN THE PROMOTIONAL SINGLES Because They Are Not a FREE DOWNLOAD, They are Singles Download from the Charts/Top 40 and Promotional Are Not.

There are Other Examples Like 2014 Brad Paisley sang "All In"& "Runway Romance" from the Film Planes: Fire and Rescue (soundtrack) which is a Single & from the Films Itself.

Like these Examples above ARE SINGLES why isn't the Vamps In There.

And also Colinfine I want to change something on Wikipedia But Other Users having being put back in it's original place, Which I disagree With and It says on Wikipedia Not to move it/Do Not Change It.

Thank You

Bye

Kind Regards

First, a note. This was orginally posted at the Help Desk here.

Secondly, this was my response there which I think still applies... I think this is a question about the content of an article though I'm not sure which one. And the question is then followed by a laundry list of examples that the OP thinks fit their view but because of the laundry list format it's hard to see the forest for the trees. So, my suggestion for the OP is to go to whatever article you think is in error and post a clearer comment on the talk page for that article as to what you feel should be changed and why.

Doing some digging, the OP is complaining about our article The Vamps discography, where their cover of "Kung Fu Fighting" is listed under "Promotional singles" rather than "Singles". Our listing of it in this category is sourced to this Brazilian site - better sources might be available, but the information seems accurate. Talk:The Vamps discography is the right place for the OP to continue this discussion. Tevildo (talk) 22:25, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Online database for ASCAP awards?

Do any of you know of a site on the Web that allows a person to search for past winners of American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers awards? I have found searchable sites for Academy Awards, Emmy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, Grammy Awards, and Tony Awards, but thus far I have failed to find something similar for ASCAP. Eddie Blick (talk) 21:50, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

ASCAP's website has an index page for awards [1] going back to 2001. I don't see a search, but you could use Google like this site:ascap.com inurl:eventsawards and add your own search items. jnestorius^(talk) 12:56, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! Somehow I had missed that index page. The Google site search tip is a good idea, too. I appreciate your help.Eddie Blick (talk) 16:25, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
