4	The most common form of AlbumTitleDrop, a title track is a song on a musical album which shares its name with the album itself. This can be done before or after the fact; as long as the album and one song on it share the same name, it counts.
5
6	Most albums that aren't [[SelfTitledAlbum self-titled]] do this, but it's such a common (and effective) naming convention that it's something of an UndeadHorseTrope; because if it ain't broke…
7
8	Note: In order for the example to count, the title of the song has to be an exact match to the album's title. If the titles are only a partial match, it's not an example. The biggest exception is if the song or album title contains a "the", "a", or any other common article which is present in one title but not the other. Another exception is when all words of the two titles are identical, but one contains a punctuation mark that's absent in the other.
9
10	Naturally, a SubTrope of TitleDrop; also compare SelfTitledAlbum, where this is done using the band's name, and AlbumTitleDrop, where the song contains the album's title in its lyrics - both of which can overlap with '''Title Track'''. Could also overlap with pretty much any other [[TitleTropes naming convention]]. Contrast NonAppearingTitle (the ''{{subver\|tedTrope}}sion'' of this trope [[note]]the DoubleSubversion being a good old fashioned case of BilingualBonus[[/note]]) and the most obvious exception to this trope, NoTitle.
11
12	'''PLEASE LIST ALL EXAMPLES ALPHABETICALLY BY MUSICIAN'''! This will make examples easier to find. Since this will be a long list, please avoid listing {{aver\|tedTrope}}sions and {{subver\|tedTrope}}sions. Also, ''please'' list only the shared title. Listing examples such as "(ALBUM TITLE) has the song (SONG TITLE WHICH IS THE SAME AS ALBUM TITLE)" [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment is too redundant]].
