Pop-music is Propped-up music.

Back when hardcopy media such as vinyl and compact disks were a thing the record promotors had a trick to make an album instantly go gold. They would go to the owner of a chain outlet (Sam Goody, Strawberries, Tower, etc.) and sign a contract that said, "Buy enough of this product to make it go gold and I will buy back any that do not sell." The chain outlet could not lose money so they would go for it.

I it is likely that there are now millions of shell accounts buying up digital copies of pop-music to make the current crop of vacuous, atonal warbling seem popular.

And to a lesser degree they used to grease the wheels of DJs too. Money, cocaine, payola, exclusivity, rights, a lot of pressure points to promote whatever music they wanted.

You forgot threats ('play this record over and over, or lose your kneecaps, feggit')

That is probably still happening. It might go some way to explaining why various SocMedia algorithms undergo such ridiculous contortions.

Well these guys are not the exclusive songwriters for these artists. Each of these artists use a number of songwriters. So while this list is impressive it’s also hysterical and inaccurate and I’m not really sure why it’s necessary. Pop music sucks and it’s degenerate and I don’t need it all to come from the same two writers to prove that.

In fact, these two buy songs from up and coming songwriters. They are very far from the only two composers in music.

Whoever wrote this is another paranoid schizophrenic who writes and says things out of ignorance that just makes everyone who asks any questions about anything look like a retard.

Real last name is Sandberg, but that's a common Swede name. No mention of his religion.

I'm a grace slick fan and I watched a interview the other day from the 70s where she said the record companies supply drugs, it was a huge scandal maybe in the 60s or 70s apparently, then conveniently disappeared from the papers. Was called drugola or some shit

Huh. So that's why I stopped listening to anything Billboard or free on commercial radio back in 2005.....

Lies...I wrote some of that shit. I'm not a fucking jew. They just put their damn name on it to take the royalties because a teenager looking for attention got it and lost her poems.
