@Mezik Country songs tend to chart pretty low on the Hot 100 so they're not the best source of Hot 100 points but she does indeed have a lot of iconic country songs from the last couple decades.

George Michael :clap3: What a legend.

 

Hillary Lindsey's catalog is great too! I remember her because she's a staple songwriter for Carrie Underwood. Her songs with Carrie are excellent. :smitten:

32. George Michael

Songwriter and producer George Michael has had eight #1 Hot 100 hits as a songwriter, all but one of which were solo written. He got his start in music busking and working as a DJ, before forming Wham! in 1981. Their debut album, "Fantastic!" experienced significant success in the UK, with songs like "Club Tropicana" and "Young Guns", but only "Bad Boys" charted in the US (#60 in 1963). That quickly changed with their second album, "Make It Big", with the lead single "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" reaching #1, which was followed by "Careless Whisper" (#1), "Freedom" (#3) and "Everything She Wants" (#1). As a double A-side of "Everything She Wants", he also released "Last Christmas", and donated the proceeds for the song towards relief for the Ethiopian famine. In 1985, following 18 months of negotiations, Wham! began a tour of China, as the first Western act to tour the country.

 

In 1987, George Michael released his first solo album, "Faith", which spawned six top 5 singles, including four #1s, "Faith", "Father Figure", "One More Try" and "Monkey", and earned him Album of the Year at the Grammys. He followed that up with "Listen Without Prejudice, Vol. 1" in 1991, which touched on social issues, but he mostly performed cover songs on the tour that followed and refused to do promotion for the album, so it experienced more moderate commercial success. His output in the next dozen years was quite low, with no touring, and only one album of original songs ("Older" in 1996) and a couple stand-alone singles. However, in 2004 he released his album "Patience", and then embarked in a three year long tour in 2006. Following his death in 2016, "Last Christmas" became enough of a holiday favorite to return to the charts on a yearly basis.

31. Gerry Goffin

Points: 30,582

 

BqhVaDCIgAMtKG7.jpg

 

Carole King's most frequent songwriting partner, Gerry Goffin met her in college and they began writing songs together and became romantically involved soon after. With Gerry Goffin and the primary lyricist and Carole King as the primary composer, their partnership soon saw great success, with "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" by The Shirelles reaching #1 in early 1961, and they wrote songs for many other artists throughout the 1960s. Although Gerry Goffin also wrote a few early hits with Barry Mann, Jack Keller, Howard Greenfield and other Brill Building songwriters.

 

Carole King and Gerry Goffin divorced in 1969, and although they continued to write together for a couple years afterwards, Carole King eventually wanted to write her own lyrics and Gerry Goffin was left having to find new songwriting partners. The most successful of the co-writing partnerships that followed was with Michael Masser, which included two #1 hits, the theme for the 1975 film "Mahogany" recorded by Diana Ross, and Whitney Houston's 1985 hit "Saving All My Love For You". He released a couple solo albums in 1973 and 1996, but with little commercial success. In 2001, he met Kelly Clarkson and hired her to sing on some of his demos before she auditioned for American Idol. His last chart entry was in 2005 with Kanye West's "Heard 'Em Say", which sampled "Someone That I Used To Love" recorded by Natalie Cole and co-written with Michael Masser.
