Keith Richards Points: 22,289 Keith Richards is the main guitarist and secondary vocalist for the Rolling Stones, and wrote the band's songs with lead vocalist Mick Jagger, coming up with much of their iconic guitar riffs. He picked up guitar from his jazz musician grand-father as a young boy, and sang in his high school's choir. He became a big fan of Chuck Berry and learned to play many of his solos. The band's first few hits were covers, but they soon started writing their own songs. Keith Richards and Mick Jagger's first hit as song-writers was actually "That Girl Belongs To Yesterday" recorded by Gene Pitney (#49 in 1964), which was followed by "Tell Me (You're Coming Back)" released by The Rolling Stones (#24 in 1964) a few months later. The next year, they had their first #1 with Satisfaction and collected a total of eight #1 singles in the 60s and 70s. They had more top 10 hits in the 80s, and a few minor hits in the 90s. His last major chart hit was "Bitter Sweet Symphony" in 1997, which sampled a Rolling Stones song without their permission, which lead to The Verve getting sued and being forced to credit Mick Jagger and Keith Richards as the sole songwriters. The Rolling Stones continued to release music in the 2000s, but by that point they were a legacy act and only a few covers charted on the Hot 100. Most streamed Hot 100 hits on Spotify 413m - Bitter Sweet Symphony (The Verve) 382m - Paint It, Black (The Rolling Stones) 278m - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (The Rolling Stones) 255m - Sympathy For The Devil (The Rolling Stones) 246m - Gimme Shelter (The Rolling Stones) Table of Points @Green @Revenge @Witch Privilege @trainsskyscrapers @Insanity @Fitzswiftie @Juanny @JawBreaker @alfonso12 @Weed @Nip Tuck @Cherry123 @eli's_rhythm @1DES @princedonte @Alpha Male @Timber @jordanjm @SoulKiwi@Ohno @Mezik@DougAF @Chainsmoker@suburbannature @Erotic@mcohen@ChatshireCat@cuneytb @Arxane @1989 @Mr. Duff @ECNEICSNOC @BtDecember @pavi @Kylie Jenner @deGonzz @Jorq @Dibbles @Alexz Thank you.

I'm surprised Katy didn't make it, but on the other hand she also split her publishing with Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Bonnie McKee, Sarah Hudson, and Cirkut on most of her hits. She really figured out the hit formula. In terms of songs I'm suspicious of re: Katy Perry ghostwriting: Jessie J - Domino Karmin - Brokenhearted Marina & the Diamonds - PrimaDonna / How To Be A Heartbreaker Luke is also a common thread so it could be him.

lipes Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 This is a very nice thread. Congratulations, for sure it took a lot of work. I wonder if Meghan Trainor would get at least +10,000 points. She wrote all of her stuff, and I guess the 50% of Bass alone would get her a lot of points. And she has entries as a co-writer for other artists as well (Fifth Harmony, Rascal Flatts, Lauren Alaina, JLO).

Benjamin Levin (Benny Blanco) Points: 22,709 Benny Blanco is one of the most successful songwriter-producers of the 2010s, having worked on smash hits with many of the biggest pop acts of the decade. His interest in music began with hip hop, and led him to start making his own beats. His first hit as a songwriter was in 2008 with "Don't Trust Me" by 3OH!3, and around that time he began getting mentored by Dr. Luke which opened the door for him to collaborate with other artists Dr. Luke had connections to such as Katy Perry, Kesha and Taio Cruz. His first songwriter #1 hit was "Tik Tok" with Kesha, and he would eventually get six more #1s. Although he released an EP in 2007, his first major success as an artist was in 2018, with his debut album "Friends Keep Secrets" and its smash hit "Eastside" with Halsey and Khalid.

Ash12345 Posted January 2, 2020 Author Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) 61. Mariah Carey Points: 22,899 One of the most successful artists of all time, Mariah Carey learned to master her voice from her mother, who was also a singer. She started writing songs in high school, and got more serious about that in her senior year after meeting co-writers Ben Margulies and Gavin Christopher. She struggled to get a record deal until she met singer Brenda K. Starr who showed her demos to Tommy Mottola, head Columbia Records (who she would marry a few years later). Mottola felt Mariah had great potential and invested in top producers and a major promotional campaign, and her self-titled debut album turned into a block-buster success with four #1 singles in 1990-1991. She released six more highly successful albums in the 90s, all with several major hits, with the later of those albums taking on more R&B and hip-hop influences. Following her break-up with Mottola, she left Columbia and signed Virgin Records America in 2001. However, she began going through some personal struggles, which negatively affected her public image, and her first album with Virgin, the soundtrack album for the movie "Glitter" struggled to achieve commercial success, leading to her getting dropped by her new label. After "Charmbracelet" also struggled, she surprised everyone with her big come-back album "The Emancipation of Mimi" in 2005, which revived her career with several major hits, most notably "We Belong Together", and she was able to get additional hits with the albums that followed. Just as she again began to struggle to get new hits in the 2010s, streaming made it possible for her 1994 Christmas classic "All I Want For Christmas Is You" to chart more easily, reaching #1 for the first time in 2019, and it should allow her to continue to have significant chart success in the fourth decade of her career. Most streamed Hot 100 hits on Spotify 832m - All I Want For Christmas Is You (Mariah Carey) 545m - Don't (Bryson Tiller) 214m - We Belong Together (Mariah Carey) 151m - Always Be My Baby (Mariah Carey) 120m - Emotionless (Drake) Table of Points @Green @Revenge @Witch Privilege @trainsskyscrapers @Insanity @Fitzswiftie @Juanny @JawBreaker @alfonso12 @Weed @Nip Tuck @Cherry123 @eli's_rhythm @1DES @princedonte @Alpha Male @Timber @jordanjm @SoulKiwi@Ohno @Mezik@DougAF @Chainsmoker@suburbannature @Erotic@mcohen@ChatshireCat@cuneytb @Arxane @1989 @Mr. Duff @ECNEICSNOC @BtDecember @pavi @Kylie Jenner @deGonzz @Jorq @Dibbles @Alexz Edited January 2, 2020 by Ash12345
