Glen Ballard co-wrote all the music on Jagged Little Pill and co-produced it.

I don't really approve of producers getting co-writing credits, but I know some of them do.

I believe Alanis actually did write all the songs herself. There's a story of he rbeing mugged when she first went to LA and she had only two bags on her; one with her money etc

and the other with the JLP songs.

Glen might have had a little input but it was mainly just Alanis writing.

Performed on 'Saturday Night Takeaway'

 

I have to give it to him - he has had some serious promo this era just a shame that it has not resulted in a decent sized hit for him so far :nocheer:

tbh I'd call Love My Life a big hit - it's a 'hit' in the same sense that Hurts by Emeli Sande was, although it didn't necessarily do too well charts-wise, most people I'm friends with know the song well by now (bear in mind my friends are all 17/18 so I'd definitely consider it a hit) and my parents love the track :D

nope, they cowrote all songs, Ballard was not just the producer but the co-writer, actually he did most of the music while Alanis did most of the lyrics

you can listen to the genesis of the songs on Spotify, check the Jagged Little Pill album commentary

no producer gets a writing credit just for producing

The new ALT-J is out if anyone cares like I do :) it's fantastic.

Is that the definition of a hit these days? Whether 17/18 year olds know a song well? :unsure:

Well it is teenagers that probably influence the chart the most those days, especially with streaming! I would say the majority of those who influence streaming charts are probably in the 13-16 year old bracket rather than the 17-18 year old bracket though.

I think what mdh means is that Robbie isn't the sort of artist that this age bracket would care about, so the song being known to and popular with them means it's done well. I always kind of think that too, my friends are sort of 18-20 but I feel like a song is a hit when they know it :lol:

:up: 2. Ed Sheeran- Shape Of You (Stormzy Remix)

:up: 3. Katy Perry - Chained To the Rhythm (feat. Skip Marley)
