Where these notes come from
The notes on this page are taken from The Range Planet, a community forum that documents singers' notes song by song (archived copy). We did not measure them ourselves. We also read the 2014 Concert Hotels chart. The 2014 Concert Hotels chart lists E2 to B6.
Published ranges count every note a singer has been recorded producing, including falsetto, whistle notes and very low spoken or growled notes where the source includes them. The range a singer uses comfortably in most songs is narrower.
