At least for things they paid for because, well, they paid for them. If it were a printed image, the artist of the final image isn't obligated to mention everything they used in the image - stock photo suppliers, etc. Shouldn't be for digital images either ;o).

It is nice to mention them though, I agree :o). I just don't think it should be mandatory.

I'm talking, in terms of making the charts... if an artist doesn't wish to give credit, that's fine, but by doing so, they shouldn't be considered for the charts.

so.... who sits there and checks the content is credited against which master list of content produced by each company / individual and where would you register said content for inclusion into said list?
 since if that's a requirement - aka crediting all for inclusion into the charts - then checks would need to be made in the case of any complaints....
