Which ingredients make for a song to be a big hit?

You gotta make love to it. Sweet, passionate, sweaty love to it.

Many hit pop songs have a very basic beat what’s called:

Four
On
The
Floor

The way it smells…usually….but there are exceptions.This one stunk.:)

So, up-tempo with claps, funky base, horny, horns, English castrates a bit of innuendo and some annoying twelve year olds should do the job?

Yup.

1) Autotune
2) Generic lyrics including such phrases as “put your hands up”, “in the club”, and who could forget “baby, I love you”
3) Pronounce “baby” like “bay-beh”
4) ????
5) PROFIT!!!

Generic repetitive music lots of sampling from other better songs and a touch of auto tune for good measure.

A shit ton of fans doesn’t hurt either. :)

Simple beats, stupid lyrics, and either hot chicks or cute boys. Being an asshole doesn’t hurt, either. Moody Blues, save this generation’s music, please…

Catchy hooks, pretty melodies, structure = (verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus)
