Yeah but Rick Rubin is always involved and Max Martin has written a hell of a lot of megahits. Makes you think.


>Rick Rubin

Dear God, I've looked into his discography[1] and nearly every album I think of as great from the last 30 years is there. Seasons in the Abyss, The Life of Pablo, 99 Problems, SOAD self-titled + Toxicity, The Geto Boys self-titled, Licensed to Ill... Is this man a hit printer or something? Really shows that Metallica went to him with Death Magnetic after the joke called St. Anger lol

His skill is helping creators do their best work. It’s a rare one.


There's a great interview he's got with Anderson Cooper. A fantastic line from it is "I have no technical ability whatsoever". What a guy. Seemed quite likeable.


Jack Antonoff as well. There certainly exist a handful of people who consistently produce hits for decades.
