This page focuses primarily on well-known songs with a cappella arrangements by notable artists and popular songs by a cappella artists. (See the discussion page for debates on what to include here.)

Formatting guidelines
- Add Wiki links for artist names by putting double brackets around them. Example: [[Suzanne Vega]].
- Do not add links to song titles unless they lead to an article about the song. Example: "[[Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds]]" is okay, but "[[Saginaw, Michigan]]" is not.
- Add a note if the song is an a cappella cover of a famous song. Example: "Purple Haze" by The Bobs (Jimi Hendrix cover).
- For barbershop songs (which are by their nature a cappella), you can use "(traditional barbershop)" for the artist. Or use the form "(traditional [[Barbershop music|barbershop]])" to create a link to the Wikipedia article on Barbershop music. (Example: see "Shenandoah".)
