'''LyricWiki''' | '''LyricWiki''' was a free {{tag|Wikia}} {{tag|entertainment}} [[wiki]] which is a single source where anyone could go to get reliable {{tag|lyrics}} for any {{tag|Songs|song}} from any artist "without being hammered by ''invasive'' ads" (emphasis on ''invasive'', it has ads on the site for users who are not logged in). | ||
LyricWiki | LyricWiki contained lyrics to over 1,000,000 songs on 100,000 albums by more than 100,000 artists. The over 2.8 million content pages are categorized by artist, album, song-name, genre and hometown of band. Some songs also have translations. | ||
