Anyone is a subscriber and can tell who dethroned Max?
Quote"Who's Writing The Hits – Q1-2012" gives well deserved recognition to the top Pop songwriters of the quarter, spotlighting the top collaborative partnerships, the #1 hit club of Q1, a breakdown of every top 10 hit with the songwriters who crafted them and much more.
In this edition you'll learn:
• Which songwriter became the new "Champion of Hit Songwriting," dethroning Max Martin after a year long reign.
• Which two collaborative partnerships yielded three top 10 hits during the quarter (ok - one was of course Max Martin and Dr. Luke, but can you name the other?).
• Which Pop sub-genre had double the amount of average credited songwriters per song.
• Which artists DID NOT receive a writing credit on the songs that they perform.
Calvin harris?? :-\ , I don't know , I think Max goes on being the KING.

The winner is Dr Luke!!
Then: Ammar Malik, Benjamin Levin and Max Martin
That's fair enough I say, he does a huge amount of work. Though aren't most of his recent hits co-writes with Max?
