Ash12345 Posted March 15, 2020 Author Posted March 15, 2020 13. Michael Jackson Points: 39,249 Michael Jackson began his music career when he joined his brothers as a member of the Jackson 5 at the age of six. He soon began singing lead vocals with his brother Jermaine, and the group toured a variety of small venues in the second half of the 1960s. In 1968, the Jackson 5 got signed to Motown and moved to Los Angeles. They got their first hit with "I Want You Back" (#1 in 1970), and three more #1 followed that same year. Although he was still in his early teens and too young to write the group's songs, he had already become the group's biggest star. His debut solo album "Got To Be There" was released in 1972, and the title track became a #4 hit and he got his first solo #1 with the title track to his 1972 album "Ben". His next two solo albums were less successful, but he remained a member of the Jackson 5 and continued to have several major hits with them. However, the Jackson 5 were frustrated about the lack of creative input Motown gave them, and in 1975, both Michael and the Jackson 5 left Motown and signed onto Epic Records. It was at this point that Michael Jackson began contributing with his own songwriting. His first songwriter hit was The Jacksons' "Shake Your Body" (#7 in 1979), co-written with his brother Randy. He then wrote his first #1 hit, "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" for his highly successful 1979 album "Off The Wall", which was his first album produced by Quincy Jones, and his first album with Epic Records. Then, in 1982, he released "Thriller", which became the top selling album of all time, and wrote four songs on the album, including #1 classics "Beat It" and "Billie Jean". Around this time he also collaborated with other big stars, writing "Say, Say, Say" with Paul McCartney, "State of Shock" with Mick Jagger and "We Are The World" with Lionel Richie. He left the Jackson 5 in 1985, and then he released "Bad" in 1987, writing four of its record breaking five #1 singles, as well as #7 hit Smooth Criminal. He continued having significant success in the 1990s. He had several hits from "Dangerous" in 1991 such as "Black Or White" and "Remember The Time", headlined the Superbowl Half-Time Show in 1993, and had additional hits on his 1995 album "HIStory" such as "They Don't Care About Us". More recently, he got additional songwriter hits thanks to covers, "Don't Stop The Music" which samples "Wanna Be Startin Somethin", and posthumous releases that used some of his demo recordings, such as "Love Never Felt So Good" and "Don't Matter To Me".

Timber Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) His Hot 100 power was surprisingly weak. Rihanna's DSTM is his 3rd biggest song not he chart. Edited March 15, 2020 by Timber

Basically comes down to artists from the 60s-80s having more charting singles than in the 90s-00s, but they didn't chart as long, which means each single gets fewer points. In the 10s, you had a lot of streaming bombs but those songs usually just last 1-3 weeks, the amount of songs that chart for 5+ weeks is even less than in the 00s, but they make up for it by being more likely to chart for 40+ weeks.

Ash12345 Posted March 16, 2020 Author Posted March 16, 2020 12. Neil Diamond Points: 41,117 Neil Diamond was inspired to make music after seeing folk singer Pete Seeger perform live at summer camp, and got a guitar and started writing songs for his high school crushes. In college, he realized he'd rather be a songwriter and eventually dropped out to accept a songwriting job with Sunbeam Music Publishing. His contract wasn't renewed, but he stubbornly kept trying to make it for several years, living in poverty off the income from various small songwriting jobs. Things finally started coming together in 1965, when he got his first songwriter hit with "Sunday and Me" (#18) by Jay & The Americans, followed by his first three hits as a recording artist, including "Solitary Man". His success truly blew up shortly after with his first #1 songwriter hit, "I'm A Believer" by The Monkees, which spent seven weeks atop the charts. He signed a deal with Bang Records in 1966, but quickly got into conflict with its owner over creative and financial questions, and went through about a decade of lawsuits to try to get out. He signed a new deal with Uni Records in 1968, and got more big hits with them like "Sweet Caroline" and "Cracklin' Rosie". In 1972, he decided to take a break from performing for a few years to spend more time with his two year old son, and to write music. That included the "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" soundtrack and two albums, "Serenade" and "Beautiful Noise". He topped the charts again in 1978 with "You Don't Bring Me Flowers", a duet with Barbra Streisand. He then starred in a 1980 remake of the film "The Jazz Singer", and while the movie wasn't successful, his soundtrack for it became his best selling album with several major hits such as "Love On The Rocks" and "America". He continued having moderate success in the early 80s, with hits like "Yesterday's Songs" and "Heartlight". After that, his success mainly came from covers, including Urge Overkill's cover of "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon" for the soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction", Smash Mouth's cover of "I'm A Believer" for "Shrek", and UB40's cover of "Red Red Wine", which became their biggest hit in 1988.

Witch Privilege Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 Sweet Caroline is a hetero classic. They lose their minds when it comes on at any event.
Mr. Duff Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 2 hours ago, Witch Privilege said: Sweet Caroline is a hetero classic. They lose their minds when it comes on at any event. It's a classic for everyone. In concerts, it is randomly being used as a commercial in between sets of artists - it's so popular. Those 100% for Neil Diamond is crazy and he only placed twelfth. Taylor's going to be top ten damn.

Swift has more entries and bigger hits (but with co-writes) but Warren has almost 100% for every song. It’s gonna be a close one
Fitzswiftie Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 I’m mildly surprised that America hasn’t been streamed more. It’s played at every hockey & football game I’ve been to for the past two years.

Ash12345 Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) 11. Smokey Robinson Points: 44,967 Smokey Robinson founded the group that would become known as The Miracles in 1955, and a couple years later auditioned to Berry Gordy and showed him a notebook of 100 songs he wrote. That lead to the Miracles becoming the first act signed under what would become Motown Records. Their first big hit was "Shop Around" (#2 in 1960), and Smokey Robinson got many more hits with The Miracles throughout the rest of the decade. During this time, he also wrote and produced songs for many of his fellow Motown artists, such as Mary Wells, The Temptations, Brenda Holloway and The Supremes, and also co-wrote songs with Marvin Gaye. In the late 60s and early 70s, other Motown songwriters rose to prominence and began to overshadow him, and he spent more time focusing on his duties as the label's Vice President and with his family, although he still got a #1 hit with "Tears Of A Clown" in 1970. In 1973, he came out of a brief period of retirement from making music to launch his solo career. He got a few moderate hits with his 1975 album, "Quiet Storm", and bigger hits with his Marv Tamplin collaboration "Cruisin" (#4) in 1979 and with "Being With You" (#2) in 1981. He experienced a come-back in 1987 with his album "One Heartbeat", although he didn't write the albums two top 10 hits. He has since had a few more charting entries as a songwriter thanks to covers of his old hits, including Suave's "My Girl", UB40's "The Way You Do The Things You Do" and D'Angelo's "Cruisin". Most streamed Hot 100 hits on Spotify 366m - My Girl (The Temptations) 80m - My Guy (Mary Wells) 69m - Get Ready (The Temptations) 64m - The Tracks Of My Tears (Smokey Robinson & The Miracles) 45m - I Second That Emotion (Smokey Robinson & The Miracles) *he also wrote "Who's Lovin' You" by The Jackson 5 with 61m streams but it didn't chart 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 @idkwiam Edited March 20, 2020 by Ash12345
