Not egregiously nepo if that makes it better? Her dad worked for a billion dollar advertising agency based out of New York. His connections helped her with her first album (the album producer worked with McCartney, Springsteen, and Cher). Dad helped to market the album of course. She also went to Fordham University ($50k-ish a year). And apparently he’s now putting out some music.

Barry Gibb song writing trivia just blows me away

In 1977 had five songs enter the top 10 at the same time

1977 Four of the top 5 songs were written by him

December 1977 to Sept 78 his songs were #1 for 27 out of 37 weeks

Only song writer in history to have 4 successive number 1 songs - Stayin Alive, Love is Thicker That Water, Night Fever, If I Can't Have You.

Only male artist to have 10 of the top 600 hot 100 billboard songs in history

The Bee Gees are only group in history to write, produced and record six straight #1 songs

Had #1 songs in 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s

Looks like her wrote 16 #1 songs overall. 6th most in history.

That sounds a bit like one of the Albums by Black Sabbath I read about where they had their own dealer to bring them all kinds of drugs each day. Plus more groopies than they could handle, apparently. :-D

Due to some accident the police went by one day, and they panicked and flushed all the stuff down the toilet, only to notice that the police hadn't come for them. One bandmember said that they flushed away drugs worth several thousand dollars in a few minutes.

THE MEANING OF THIS 🎵 🎶 🎵 SONG, COMES DOWN TO KINDNESS. SOMETHING THIS WORLD 🌎 DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH OF. TO JUDGE IS THE AMERICAN WAY. HYPOCRISY IS ALIVE AND WELL IN AMERICA. YOUR OPINION IS YOUR OWN. YOU HAVE THAT RIGHT ✅️. YOU DO YOU. WHETHER TO JUDGE OR NOT TO JUDGE IS THE QUESTION. LEAVE IT BE.

People who are often left off lists like this but deserve a place

Barry Gibb - probably most underrated song writer of all time

Bono

Diane Warren - one of the greatest of all time

Max Martin - who will soon become the song writer with the most #1s of all time

The Glimmer Twins (Jagger & Richards)

Sting (he wrote or co-wrote nearly all the Police songs plus his own stuff)

Taylor Swift
