Country (& maybe other genres) writer's article

[devin]

Here's an article from my PRO. Quote:"Only 46 writers stood in the golden circle in 2004, which means more people were struck by lightning in the U.S. than wrote a #1 Country song. Of those 46 writers, six were artists who recorded the songs they participated in. The good news for non-artists, or "stand alone" writers, is that they were responsible for writing two-thirds of those #1 songs."Full article:http://www.ascap.com/nashville/murphy/murphy19.htmlJust a tiny bit dated as a 2004 hit country song summary.

Yep,Now its safe to say that "stand alone" writers are responsible for less than a quarter of the number one songs.Matt

Yeah you almost need to have co-writes with the artists themselves.I can't say who, but I might have a co-write with a country artist who has a new video on CMT.com hopefully he follows through on his offer.AndyAndy
