Self-written Top 10 singles?


TheVelvetRope

Recommended Posts

Name some Top 10 singles that have only one writer credited, the artist itself.

Gaga's #6 "You and I" and Madonna's #4 "Lucky Star" come to mind first.

What are some others?

the legend jumped out :clap3:

 

also Bad Romance is practically self written, Red One's writing credit is for a 2-second section of the melody so I think it's fair to add that to Gagas list :clap3:

Because of you was solely written by Kelly. However in an interview she said she had to credit David Hodges and Ben Moody to get the song on her album so :!ohno: idk if that counts.

I'm sure there's a good reason why they're credited. According to the wiki page for the song, Ben Moody said that he built music around Kelly's initial ideas for the song. Kelly may have written the lyrics and melody but there's a LOT more that goes into a song.
