Not sure if they’ll make much difference to his overall points but the Kygo & Whitney version of Higher Love also charted (briefly) on the Hot 100

About half the streams come from the remix, so if you include that it was pretty huge.

I'm surprised at Mariah not even making the top 50. :toofunny2: I'm shocked at her not having a single 100% that charted either. 

 

Also Bruno and Sia not making it at all :sherlock:

 

 

I wonder how many females are left. There's Madonna and Taylor who else?? :deadbanana2:

50. Robin Gibb

Points: 25,522

 

1985309-robin-gibb-solo-617-409.jpg

 

British singer, songwriter and producer Robin Gibb was born on December 22, 1949 on the Isle of Man, and was the twin brother of Maurice and younger brother of Barry. In 1955, when he was still just a young boy, he began singing in the Rattlesnakes, a band with him, Barry, Maurice and two friends, and were performing at local venues. Those two friends later left, the Gibb brothers renamed their group to the Bee Gees, and they got a record deal in 1963, and they began having hits in the late 60s. In 1969, a rivalry with his brother Barry lead to Robin leaving the group and having a short solo career, but after lackluster success, he rejoined the Bee Gees a little over a year later. As the Bee Gees success began to slow, he started working on other artists' albums, in 1980 he worked on Jimmy Ruffin's "Sunrise", and on Barbra Streisand's album "Guilty", and in 1982 on Dionne Warwick's "Heartbreaker", and he rebooted his solo career with albums in 1983 and 1984. He continued making music with the Bee Gees and for his solo career until he passed away from cancer in 2012.

These 2 are beasts! Not many (very few) have been able to have their sound sustain the change of time and music evolution over the past 2 decades and still remain so popular! Incredible that they have 24,932 each. Which means that as a brand and partnership, Stargate almost reached 50K points here with 49864 points together.

 

One of my personal favs duo, and can't weight to see what they cook up this decade! (Pharrell and Chad are making a comeback as the Neptunes so nowhere is safe!!).

Out of the remaining songwriters, #50 is the one that had the most recent peak that a lot of ATRL probably still doesn't know. He had some big AC leaning pop hits in the late 90s to mid 00s.

 

Also, now that we're halfway through, anyone want to make new predictions on who'll make the top ranks?

Thanks for this.

 

The funny thing with Homemade Dynamite, is that the original song had 4 writers,

Lorde, Tove Lo, Jakob Jerlström and Karl Söederberg


Then in the remix they added the featured artists, SZA, Khalid and Post Malone

 

But now the remix has 8 writers on ASCAP, with Louis Bell being the 8th writer. But what did Louis Bell do? Is Post not able to write his own verse, or does he have a deal where Louis Bell gets a % of everything?

 

I'd be interested to see where Joel Little is when you add the songs with Lorde, Taylor, Khalid, Imagine Dragons and others that might have charted.

49. Rob Thomas

Points: 25,776

 

rob-thomas-press-photo-2015-billboard-65

 

Rob Thomas had a difficult upbringing, and was drawn to country singers like Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash who also had hard lives, and started writing songs and playing music in his early teens. After a stint in jail and some time homeless, he tried to earn a living playing in cover bands. He then formed the band that (after a line-up change) would eventually become Matchbox Twenty in 1993, and started playing songs his own songs. The band gained the attention of producer Matt Serletic and they released their debut album in 1996. The album initially struggled and the band almost got dropped by their label until they noticed radio stations in Birmingham really liked "Push" so the label began promoting it and it became a rock/alternative/pop cross-over radio hit, peaking at #5 on radio songs with 52 weeks on the chart.

 

Push got pushed next and was even more successful, however, neither single received a physical release so they weren't permitted to chart on the Hot 100. The band indulged in the rock star life for a couple years until they recognized the damage it was causing and started cleaning up. In 1999, he was sent a Santana demo and worked on improving the lyrics and melody and sent the demo back to Santana. The song was "Smooth", and after 15 years without any hits for Santana, he had one of the biggest Hot 100 hits of all time. Rob Thomas continued having hits for most of the 00s with Matchbox Twenty, as well as with his more pop-leaning solo career that began in 2005. His last songwriter hit was with Rixton's sample of "Lonely No More" on "Me and My Broken Heart" in 2014.

Not sure, but Louis Bell's had writing credits on every Post Malone song from his last two albums.

Wow Rob Thomas is a big surprise here.
