Nice article about Swedish songwriters

Years ago, pop fans cracked the great "secret" of pop music: almost every single major hit of the last 15 years was crafted by a Swedish songwriter named Max Martin, whose production credits read like a Now That's What I Call Music! tracklist on steroids.

But it turns out Martin wasn't the only Swede writing these tracks: There was a whole host of his fellow countrymen who were also contributing their musical fortitude to stateside singers.

"Funnily enough, Yacoub normally writes with Martin; this was one of the few songs where he didn't. "Starships" ended up peaking at No. 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and sold three million copies, not too shabby in the piracy age."

Yacoub USED to normally write with Martin and the song sold more than seven million copies ...

B Steady, yes, agree, the journalist really should have said "used to..."
