Request your songwriting credit receipts here


Goldie

3,464 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)

Dance For You: Terius Nash 42.5%, Chris Stewart 42.5%, Thiefonce 15%
Apeshit: 5 cowriters total, Shawn Carter 16.66%, Bleachonce 15%
Drunk in Love: 8 cowriters total, Feministonce 16.66%, Shawn Carter 16.66%
Love Drought: Michael Dean 47.5%, Ingrid Burley 27.5%, Longboringspeechbeforeeverymusicvideonce 25%
Partition: 7 cowriters total, Pretentionce 30%

 

Taylor Swift:
1989 songs: Taylor shares equal writing credits on every 1989 song (e.g. if there are two cowriters, Taylor has 50%, if there are 3 cowriters, Taylor has 33.33%, etc.)

 

MC:
It's Like That: 7 total cowriters, McRiah has 20%
Caution: 5 total cowriters, McRiah has 25%
A No No: 9 total cowriters, McRiah has 16.67%

 

Madonna:
Bedtime Stories songs:

Survival: Madonna 50%, Dallas Austin 50%

Secret: Madonna 50%, Dallas Austin 50%

I'd Rather Be Your Lover: 6 cowriters total, Madonna has 4.28%

Don't Stop: 3 cowriters, Madonna has 50%

Inside Of Me: 4 cowriters, Madonna claims 50% (there's a conflict on this work so this is up for debate)

Human Nature: 5 cowriters total, Madonna has 50%. There's also a song titled Human Nature (No Samples) with only 2 cowriters - Madonna and Dave Hall each have 50%

Forbidden Love: Madonna and Kenny Edmonds each have 50%

Love Tried to Welcome Me: Madonna andDave Hall 50% each

Sanctuary: 5 cowriters total, Madonna 20%

Bedtime Story: Nellee Hooper 40%, Marius De Vries 10%, Bjork Gudmundsdottir 50%

Take a Bow: Madonna, Kenny Edmonds 50% each


Substitute for Love: 5 cowriters total, Madonna has 45%
Beautiful Stranger: Madonna and William Orbit each have 50%


Music songs: Madonna and William Orbit/Mirwais share the writing credits equally on every song (e.g. Madonna + 1 cowriter, each get 50/50, Madonna + 2 cowriters each get 33.33/33.33/33.33), with a few exceptions:

- What It Feels Like For a Girl: Madonna gets 50%, Guy Sigsworth 40%, David Torn 10%

- Paradise (Not For Me): Madonna gets 33.33%, Mirwais gets 66.67%

** Also something really interesting about Don't Tell Me. Madonna, Mirwais and Joe Henry (Madonna's brother in law) each have 33.33% writing credit on this song. For those of you who don't know the background on it, Joe Henry initially recorded a version of Don't Tell Me called "Stop," which he gave to Madonna as a demo and which he released on his album in 2001 (a year after Music and Don't Tell Me were singles). You can listen to 'Stop' on YouTube and the lyrics are virtually the same as Don't Tell Me (DTM has 4-5 added words/adjectives). But 'Stop' has Joe Henry credited with 100% of the work interesting1 Maybe industry politics at work here? 


Girl Gone Wild: 4 total cowriters, Madonna has 33.33%
Devil Pray: 8 total cowriters, Madonna has 20%
Joan of Arc: 4 cowriters total, Madonna has 31.34%
Wash All Over Me: 9 total cowriters, Madonna has 20%
Illuminati: 8 total cowriters, Madonna has 15%

I will look into these sis ny1 I already did American Life songs in this thread and I’m pretty sure that Confessions follows the same pattern as Madonna’s other Albums (her and Stuart Price share 50% of each song) but I will double check and see if there are any anomalies jj2

I have to say from what I’ve seen for Mariah’s songs, WBT is an exception - many of her songs are just with one other co-writer each having 50% aside from a few lead singles/songs with features/etc
