"The Songwriters Hall of Fame announced its latest class of inductees on Monday. This year's batch includes Max Martin; Jay Z; collaborative duo Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis; Motown records founder Berry Gordy; Chicago members Robert Lamm, James Pankow, and Peter Cetera; and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds."
So many legends. Congrats to all of them.

Martin, who rarely does interviews or appears in public, called the induction "unbelievable."

This is a highlight in his career, for sure.
Wow, the real star among all stars.
He looks like a rock star.
Is there a video of the speech?
justice for andreas carlsson and jorgen
Bon Jovi started off comically by saying that "Karl Martin Sandberg was born in a manger in Bethlehem ... you don't buy that?" and then a similar intro about the planet Krypton, before reeling of Martin's world-beating accomplishments and concluding by introducing him as "the Swedish cross between Jesus and Superman."
In his acceptance, Martin joked about the meaning of the word "unbelievable," referring to a couple he'd seen that morning giving a cup of coffee that designation, before saying "and I thought about what unebelievable means to me, and it's being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame with Jay Z and Jam and Lewis and so many of my heroes."
wow, those photos are fantastic!! Congratulations to Max! he totally deserves it.

Max is a cool guy but i'm inclined to agree with him; It's "unbelievable". He really doesn't deserve the honor and he knows it so why take it?

No Max really doesn't and hasn't deserved a songwriters award for some time now. He is a business man.
In this case, there is a 'team' of writers. Its his company so he is getting the credit. It's a bogus FAKE award. Even Katy Perry is smart enough to know that! You really think he lyrically writes everything or anything at all? Wake up man.
Being referred to Jesus by Jon Bon Jovi - I suppose you don't get that everyday.

Well, we don't know for sure about it. I agree with you but I don't think he ghostwrites.
FAKE - sounds quite radical..
What do you mean by even Katy perry..?
Onepass, Every successful pop producer uses Max's formula (at least part of it). He's literally revolutionized modern songwriting.
