Punctuating a song list

I am wondering about punctuating a list of songs for a program. The song titles would be listed horizontally. Should it be (for example):

"Tonight," "I Feel Pretty," "My Favorite Things," "Do, A Deer"

or

"Tonight", "I Feel Pretty", "My Favorite Things", "Do, A Deer"

Does the "comma inside the quotation marks" rule apply here also?

Thanks for your help!!

Since the tabs idea doesn't work for something like an essay or a research paper, I would suggest you go with the general rule that says punctuation marks go inside quotation marks. He said, "I like her very much." or I love to listen to songs like "Waiting on a Woman."

In a list, I would recommend the same rule applies. My five favorite Elvis Presley songs are "In the Ghetto," "Kent
