"Increasingly, it takes a village to write a pop hit." - Found this interesting study that has analysed the average number of writers involved in writing hit songs over the last 40-50 years. Collaboration, it seems, is a pretty important tool on the road to success.. http://priceonomics.com/how-many-people-take-credit-for-writing-a-hit-song

It's akin to the science of dialing performance, economy and handling into modern cars. Except the cars turn out great. I'm not impressed by committee songs. Sufjan, Prince, and Janelle sound superior because they care about their own stuff. The hit composers care about money.

Haha. My favorite has alway been, " How many lead singers does it take to put in a lightbulb".
Response:
They just stand there and let the world revolve around them and then you to auto-tune the bulb for the brightness level!!!
So sorry.
