Summary
There needs to be an introduction in the article. What should be covered in the article is the title of the music, the length and a general overview of the production of the music (i.e. composition, production, instruments). Also, where available, do include a list of appearances in a form of a paragraph after the introduction.
Clarification on songs and music
Note: a song is defined as metrical composition intended or adapted for singing, especially one in rhymed stanzas; a lyric; a ballad where as music is defined as pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture.
Thus, a song is when a lyric is present (Example: Breaking Benjamin's Blow Me Away used in Halo 2) whereas music is when only the melody is heard (Example: Chopin's "Preludes #15, Raindrop" used in Believe campaign).
Embedding videos and linking videos
In the past, it was considered proper to provide an embedded Youtube video in the article. This no longer seems to be the case as these Youtube videos are removed/became unavailable due to copyright takedowns. As such, it is no longer necessary for editors to include an embedded video in articles. Similar applies to video links.
