Producer Max Martin Makes Hot 100 History

Max Martin isn’t a household name, but chances are you definitely know his music.  “The man behind the curtain,” so to speak, has written and produced some of the hottest tracks to hit the radio in the last decade.  Thanks to the success of Taylor Swift’s latest single “Shake It Off” the super-producer has now garnered his eighteenth #1 hit.

The debut of “Shake” puts Martin in third place for writers with the most #1 tracks in the Hot 100’s 56-year history.  He was previously tied with singer Mariah Carey with 17.  Paul McCartney currently holds the record for most #1 singles on the Hot 100 with 32 while his Beatles bandmate John Lennon places second with 26.

Martin’s first Hot 100 topper was Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time” back in 1999.   Surprisingly, 16 of his 18 number one singles have been released in the last six years.
