unquestionably--- the one true signature song for the artist. Examples that are debatable don't help illustrate the point to a reader.
because--- people obviously don't all agree on what her one signature song is. Please be sure the song you want to add is not one that could be considered debatable. In addition, do NOT add a song to this list unless you have a legitimate reference to a mainstream site indicating the song as the artist's signature song.

A signature song is the one Song (or, in some cases, one of a few songs) that a popular and well-established Singer , or Band , is most closely identified with, even if they have had success with a variety of songs. The term is generally ''not'' applied to the successful song of a so-called " One-hit Wonder " — an artist who is closely identified with one song because they have had no other successful songs.
Some songs are so Iconic and popular that many different singers may share that song as their signature song. A well-known example is Over The Rainbow , which is considered by many to be the most popular song of the twentieth century. It is a ''must'' in many artists' repertoire, and one which they may choose to sing at every concert appearance.
Artists may have different signature songs in different parts of the world depending on where they are praised; or they have more than one, even in one area of the world. In the cases in which an artist or band has more than one signature song, the songs are often from one particular album that was considered their best work. In some cases, there may be a divergence between the artist's most commercially successful song and the song most commonly associated with that artist by the media (e.g. Britney Spears ' " ...Baby One More Time " and " Oops!... I Did It Again ", respectively), resulting in each song receiving references to being the artist's "signature song".
The expression "signature song" is also occasionally used to refer to a recurring Song In Commercials .
