I've found a link from last year that lists the top 10 RICHE$T songwriters of all-time.
So, again, the richest, not necessarily the best. There are two women, and I'll leave the clues at that for now. Have no idea how accurate this list is, but the names seem likely enough, so for guessing sake we'll just go with it, snag the low fruit early lol.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Got to think Sir Paul is on the list. As well as Mick (and Keef?). How about Burt Bacharach and Carole King?

Bacharach and King you might highly think would be there, but no. Again, can't verify the accuracy.

What does " the top 10 RICHE$T songwriters of all-time" mean? If some artist is among he richest artists and wrote 1 song they make the list? Or is this only $ coming from song royalties?
Please clarify?
