String.Format not printing a value

this code will not print the value year and I cant figure out why.

String words = string.Format("{0,-60}" + "|" + "{0,-7}" + "|" + "{0,-20}"  + 
"|" + "{0,-20}", Title, Year, Album, Artist);

Everything else works and if I print each value without formatting like this it works fine

String words = string.Format(Title + ", " + Year + ", " + album + ", " + 
Author); //works

The way you have it you have only referenced the Title parameter in the format string. Try String words = string.Format("{0,-60}" + "|" + "{1,-7}" + "|" + "{2,-20}" + "|" + "{3,-20}", Title, Year, Album, Artist);

More information on the behavior of String.Format can be found here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.string.format(v=vs.110).aspx
