Do Pop Stars Write Their Own Songs?▼

Not giving credit when credit is due has led to  some of the   biggest battles in music history   and a public faux pas has reignited debates on social media about songwriting credits. On Monday, musician Damon Albarn of the bands Blur and Gorillaz  publicly apologized to pop star Taylor Swift  after claiming the singer-songwriter didnt write her own songs. It was a big slight to Swift, who takes major pride in her songwriting and has been credited as  songwriter and co-writer for all 11 of her albums . But to Albarns point about the prevalence of co-writing in pop music now solo singer-songwriters are pretty rare these days. Since 2017, none of the top 10 streamed tracks in the U.S. were written and sung by the same person. Source
