Hard as it is to believe, The Who only had 1 top 10 track on the Hot 100. I Can See For Miles, which peaked at #9. Yeah, he's another example of someone who would've done better if this was a UK charts based ranking, since The Who got fifteen top 10 hits there.

Updated Carole King's list with a few extra songs as I was working through Gerry Goffin's songs.

nickdI’m adding another to my list of suggestions: “Narada Michael Walden”. I wonder where he would rank (if you have or haven’t done him already)?

John Fogerty Points: 17923 If only Fogerty got any money for all his CCR compositions! Alas, he sold off his rights to future film produces Saul Zantz as a young man for a mere pittance. He was even sued for plagiarism when The Old Man Down The Road came out, with the claim it sounded too much like Green River, which was written by, you guessed it, John Fogerty.

Jimmy Webb Points: 14829 edit: he gets 1/19th of the 345 points (so 18 points) for a sample for Kanye West's "Famous".

nickd I think now may be a good time to update Drake's list. The year is pretty much over and (I really just want to see him shoot to 30K points).

Drake is one of the first artists I've covered which meant I was using wikipedia/genius more than ideal instead of ASCAP/BMI's repertoire which I now realize is more accurate. So I updated Drake but because there were some co-writers missing in my original list (I think for samples mostly?) he's still below 30k.

Anyways, at least, his list is more accurate now. Thanks for the effort.

I'll have to gradually update all the other hip hop songwriters too.

thegreatdivine - I updated Lil Wayne's stats. His total decreased from 25583 points to 23679 points, not just due to additional songwriters/samples for some songs but also because according to ASCAP/BMI he doesn't have writing credits on Bling Bling and My N****.

Valerie Simpson & Nickolas Ashford Points: 11761 points kierz7 Those are the points for each Simpson and for Ashford. Their songwriting points are identical so you can double the numbers if you want to know the total points for the duo.
