[edit] Template for single cover
{{Non-free use rationale
| Description = This is the front cover for the single "[[XXX]]" by the artist [[XXX]]. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the label, XXX, or the graphic artist.
| Source = May be found at the following website: []
| Article =
| Portion = Single cover only, a small portion of the commercial product.
| Low_resolution = Yes.
| Purpose = Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone.The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for.Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public.
| Replaceability = As musical cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the music would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
| other_information = Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. <br> The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the book.
