It’s no secret that songs these days tend to have more writers than songs from earlier eras. A lot more. Four of the eight nominees for song of the year at the 68th annual Grammy Awards, set for March 1, have seven or more writers. Bad Bunny’s “DtMF” and HUNTR/X’s “Golden” each have seven writers. Rosé & Bruno Mars’ “APT.” has nine, and the Kendrick Lamar/SZA collab “Luther” has 10. But even that’s not the all-time Grammy record, as you’ll soon see.
First, a little Grammy history. At both of the first two Grammy ceremonies, both held in 1959 (in May and November of that year), all song of the year nominees were the work of just one or two songwriters. Through the awards presented in 1981, not one song nominated for song of the year had more than three writers.
The number of songwriters on nominated songs grew slowly at first and then very quickly in recent years. To illustrate that point, here are the first song of the year nominees by four-, five- and seven-member teams. The years shown are the years of the Grammy ceremonies.
Four writers: Christopher Cross’ “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)” (1982). Written by Peter Allen, Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager & Christopher Cross. (Bacharach and Sager married on April 3, 1982, five weeks after the Grammy ceremony where their song vied for song of the year.)
Five writers: Sheryl Crow’s “All I Wanna Do” (1995). Written by David Baerwald, Bill Bottrell, Wyn Cooper, Sheryl Crow & Kevin Gilbert.
Seven writers: Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name” (2001). Written by Beyoncé Knowles, Rodney Jerkins, LaShawn Daniels, Fred Jerkins III, LeToya, LaTavia Roberson & Kelly Rowland. (Rodney Jerkins and Fred Jerkins III are brothers.)
And here’s a complete list of all song of the year nominees that were the work of eight or more songwriters. They are shown in ascending order, with the largest gaggle of writers on a nominated song at the bottom. The years shown are the years of the Grammy ceremonies.
