Interesting linguistics observation: I've now heard several college-age radio DJs backannouncing songs they've played as having been "under" an album, vs. "from" an album. I'm guessing this could be the result of approaching music via digital platforms, where song titles are stacked uniformly from top to bottom as mere text. (As opposed to physical formats, where they have the potential to be more artfully arranged.)
I'm not grumping about it or intending this as a corny "kids today" lament -- just noting what I thought was an interesting shift in cultural tradition.
