The music video was released including an edit of the song that only features Rihanna and Kid Cudi and lists it as "Kanye West - All Of The Lights ft. Rihanna, Kid Cudi." I know they aren't credited as being featured on the album, but it seems as though they are for the single version. What do you guys think? ℥ nding· start 18:54, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
As I stated above I am pretty sure its just featuring Rihanna. She sings the chours so it was only right for West to credit her on the single release but Cudi only has what like two lines repeating a couple lines? He was only credited in the video most likly because him and Rihanna were the only ones West could get to do the video. His "verse" is just a glorified bridge nothing more. If we credit him might as well credit Fergie and everyone else. Which isn't going to happen. STATic message me! 06:20, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
The booklet of the album does not state that there are any featured artists explicitly, only guest vocals from etc etc in the credits of the song. Therefore it should just be be billed as "Single by Kanye West." 58.172.212.41 ( talk) 00:59, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
I believe the official music video is a good enough source for listing the featured artists. Can someone add a source, since I don't know how to do it? (It's late here and I'm tired and can't be bothered searching for a way to do it, so thanks!) Yooreetsa ( talk) 21:58, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
Can someone provide a source for any featured artists? As is the norm, it is not artists or youtube that determine "featured" status - this is negotiated by artist management and record labels, and chart publications follow their guidelines. Of all the sources provided for chart placings, only the UK credits Rihanna and Drake. All other countries, including the US and Canada, show West alone. Where was it determined that Rihanna is the sole featured artist? Is there cover art for the single anywhere? - eo ( talk) 20:57, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

The one given is not the official German Singles Chart, but the chart of musicload, a German download service, like I-Tunes or something... So please delete it until the official one is there!

the paragraph headlined as composition merely repeats the same thing as the first two paragraphs. it seems unnecessary.
