Ash12345 Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 The next reveal is one of the most successful top-line writers of the 21st century, and was a huge force behind the songwriting of one of the biggest pop girls of the decade.

trainsskyscrapers Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Could it be Julia Michaels x Selena Gomez? On top of EVERYTHING she's written for others.... we have: - Good For You - Slow Down - Hands To Myself - Bad Liar - Me & The Rhythm - Lose You To Love Me - Look At Her Now (Keep in mind this is only the tracks that charted and not album cuts) Their writing relationship is pretty awesome.

No, he didn't make it, that's why he's just an honorable mention like Lady Gaga and John Rzeznik were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzswiftie Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 9 hours ago, Mr. Wonder said: I'm guessing Stevie Wonder will be #1? Very few of his top 10 hits have cowriters. Also thinking the way about Prince. 99% of his material is all solo written, he’s solo written big hits for The Bangles, Chaka Khan and Sinead O Connor and has a couple rap samples to maybe put him over the edge.

Ash12345 Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Next up is the first female reveal. She doesn't have that many charting songs, but four of them were on the 00s Decade End Hot 100, including two that were self written. Those two self written smashes already give her half the necessary points to make it onto the top 100 songwriters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
