In music, a standard is a tune or song of established popularity.
Because of the subjective quality and evolving connotation of the term, which songs are considered standards is nebulous. The term began being applied to musical works as the popularity of rock and roll increased dramatically in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Then, the term was used to describe songs that were not from the rock genre and especially to songs of the AABA form.
Presently, a general character of standards is that they have remained in popular currency for several decades, and that they are performed (or "covered," in the musical vernacular) by several different musicians or bands. Another common (but by no means definitive) use of "standards" is as a synonym for " crossover" - describing a work that "crosses", or is popular in, more than one genres.
The term can be compared to the use of the word "traditional" in folk music literature, though not all standards of folk music are traditional.
Examples of songs described in this wiki as "standards" (regardless of genre) include
- " Big Yellow Taxi"
- " C.C. Rider"
- " Iko Iko"

In metrology (the science of measurement), a standard (or etalon) is an object, system, or experiment that bears a defined relationship to a unit of measurement of a physical quantity. Standards are the fundamental reference for a system of weights and measures, against which all other measuring devices are compared. Historical standards for length, volume, and mass were defined by many different authorities, which resulted in confusion and inaccuracy of measurements. Modern measurements are defined in relationship to internationally standardized reference objects, which are used under carefully controlled laboratory conditions to define the units of length, mass, electrical potential, and other physical quantities.
