Didn't work for me back when that age bracket applied. Bit too late for me now if that's true. :lol:

It helps if you're a pretty girlie boy with mediocre talent and a good agent- that's how Justa Beaver hit the big time.

You need

- a heavy beat

- a safe recycled chord sequence.

- multple layers of bleating and moaning up and down the same scale.

- at least two chopped up stuttering rhythm parts.

- must "feature" a guest artist doing a rap of some description.

- lyrics must be banal, but deep and meaningful.

- It is advisable to feed the vocals through that machine that turns a bent note into steps (nobody ever gets tired of that).

There are no guarantees though :lol:

...Mark.

lets hear it, the #1 hit, I haven't heard one in awhile or written one ever so it should be easy to hear if it's a #1 :P

Unfortunately that "comedy" is today's music.

Geometry seems to play a big factor with todays all knowing condecending sooperstars throwing out shapes like J Zzzz Zzzz Zzzz and BeYAWNce so I'd go Algebra just to be different, then you'll need hidden messages when played backwards Beelzebub's been done and become predictable and boring how about a Farming theme no idea how to have lyrics when played backwards say " I'm off to milk them cows" but we can work on that later........stroking chin and gazing upwards thoughtfully time.........

As with guitars, country of origin is beside the point.

What you have to do is go to bed with Simon Cowell. It's as simple as that.

How much do you want this hit single?

To be fair to the guy (and why would we want to be?), I expect Simon would say the same thing if he saw my post...
