Hello Everyone,

I was going through the Top Songs on Billboard and thought I would
look up the Songwriting credits for some of the Top hits....
I remember when I first started writing songs and I was always excited to see the Songwriting credit of a Song that I really loved, So I could make a mental note of their style and study other songs by them.

So now I've noticed that instead of the usual one or two writers one would typically find there are now like six or seven or more on one song, and wanted to know what everyone here thinks about that?

For me personally its a let down because, even though the songs are really good- I find it harder to feel connected as a writer to so many individual ones, anyone else here feel the same?

I know that's the new way of doing business now and practically almost impossible to bypass these days if you want a cut on a Major Album/Artist, but sometimes when reading through the lyric and I find a line that to me simply wimps out, I credit it to too many Songwriters or Cooks in the Kitchen, anyone have similar thoughts?
