What Created the favourite Songwriters Renowned?

Writing hits, of course. I've done a little research on that. I've been to countless seminars and unique classes on "how to write hit songs". I do need to admit that each gave me good, seemingly sound suggestions about formulas, meanings in lyrics, grooves and beats along with other accepted teachings. Whilst it's true that I get a lot of solid advice from "real industry professionals", I do wonder... with the much cash being earned by people who truly write hit songs, if a person really knew crafting a genuine hit song... why would they be spending their time giving classes about this? Wouldn't they need to be employing almost all their "professional knowledge" and talents truly writing new hit songs to allow them to make the money that renowned songwriters make? I suppose maybe there isn't only one lesson or thing that makes an audio lesson a hit. It is much more of a mix of getting all the right pieces in the right artistic expression. But there continues to have to be that one thing... that one unique step.

So, what's that step? Well in looking at genuinely famous songwriters you have to start looking for "hits". It is true that famous songwriters do have that something special it took to get the song from inception to exactly where it actually can legitimately be qualified as a "hit". When attemping to generate a solution to my question about what made the most famous songwriters well-known, here's what I came up with.

The difference is... somebody paid attention to their songs. That has always been a hard part of the music industry, but it's even harder in today's world of "give it in my experience speedy due to the fact I've unlimited choices" type of consumer. Don't misunderstand me, every famous songwriter has a special, unique talent. Plus they do write "good" songs with some amount of "hit" songs. However it all began with an individual making the effort to listen. That, most likely, came from some thing concerning the song. Yes, you'll want the perfect song that appeals to the masses... and you must be a "special" type of talent... and it should be a great song. But... if nobody takes time to hear the song of sufficient length to listen to how unique it's... There is little ever happen with the song. It is simply far too easy to pass up for another among the multitude of options.

The solution appears to be... if you are sufficiently fortunate to get someone who matters to hear your song, you best hook them quick. You absolutely must gain their interest inside the very first 10-20 seconds and "hook" them inside the first minute. So... if you have that "hit" song and want anyone to focus on it, no matter how significantly you need to express your art, you must arrive at the meat quick. After you have several "hits", you can express your art.
