Ambiguous cases
Catalogs sometimes contain medleys, renamed transformations, hidden tracks, archival fragments, or works credited differently across releases. ListPipe reviews those cases individually and favors a stable, understandable ranking universe over inflated track counts.
Catalog versions
Every artist page displays a catalog version. New official works, corrected credits, and defensible classification changes can produce a new version without erasing existing rankings.
