Why, it’s like making sausages. Lol. I actually wonder which came first, the catchy jingly tune, or his subject matter.
I bet there is great $ in the production team. It’s like editing, but in the music world.
Utterly stupid amounts of money. Especially on the back end %. One song like Brittnay’s “One more time” or Justin Timberlake’s “Sexyback” and the Ferrari basically gets paid off. Granted, that gets paid to the ‘business’ but that ‘business’ then writes the team some very nice checks as those kinda songs get done a lot.
Seriously, if you’re interested, look up those two team on “all-Music” and see just how many, and what kind of songs they do. And there are a dozen or so at their level of ‘name’. Then make the financial and ‘agenda/political’ connections.
