Request your songwriting credit receipts here


Goldie

4,392 views

Hey gurls

 

So I work in music publishing and work with songwriting/song info. I won't have access to this info for much longer, so if you have any requests for credit splits/songwriting credits/how much a song is earning this month, for pretty much any song, leave your requests here and I can fetch the info for you :)

 

Example: You want to to know how much songwriting credit each songwriter of New Rules by Dua Lipa is getting:

Ailin Caroline, 33.33%

Ian Eric Kirkpatrick, 33.33%

Emily Warren Schwartz, 33.33%

(half of their percentages go to their publishers)

 

The shares aren't always split evenly, sometimes some artists who claim to write these songs are only getting 1-2% while their cowriters have 25% or even up to 50% of the work. So anything you are curious about feel free to ask (and then use the receipts in BG)

I will go through all of these tonight or tomorrow when I have time jj2

Do Hold Tight! Madonna has sole production credit on it but it's quite obvious that Ryan Tedder had to do with it.

I knew there was something about you legend cry9 

Can you try and do Mariah’s for butterfly the album.

its supposed to be her most personal work and she has credits on every song, some lambs even state she wrote most of it by herself.

Oh yaas! I’ve always been curious about some stuff.

Could you look up the American Life album by Madonna, and the songs ‘Rain On Me’ by Cyndi Lauper and ‘il Adore’ by Boy George? mad1

omg im shook this is so cool! Thanks for checking them out! I always wondered how much credit she had on co-written songs

Can you check just one more? Melt Away (From the album Daydream) It's one of solely self-written songs, I want to know if that's what we've been led to believe..  oprah12tina1 

Also a song called Almost Home she did, she said she wrote it originally then said she didn't last year so it confused alot of stans?

These are the correct ones

 

The ones printed in the album list 3 people. I believe one is the same in addition to Kylie in the ones you listed then a different 3rd person

Justus Nzeribe is also known as Sky Adams. I'm also seeing some other songs here called LOVE U with some of the writers you mentioned there, but those songs are all older than 2018... very interesting

The ones you listed would be the ones printed in the album then!

I think L.O.V.E. is actually a different song to Love and they misprinted them. I assume both must have been up for inclusion which is so odd. Perhaps the song on the album came from what else is in the database interesting1

It's really suspicious that the writers you listed above have songs called LOVE U and LOVE also present without Kylie that are a few years old, maybe they borrowed some lyrics/sampled it?
