With Meek Mill and Drake’s rivalry continuing without an end in sight, it is clear that singers and songwriters often do not see eye to eye. This does not lead all singers to miss out on the songwriting experience, however. The following individuals have made it to the top of the pop charts several times, for their beautiful voices and songwriting abilities. These include Carole King, whose efforts earned her spots within the Billboard Hot 100 several hundred times. The most successful singer-songwriters and musical artists make millions of dollars out of their royalties.
These Are The Songwriters Who Are Laughing All The Way To The Bank
Neil Diamond – $175 million
Greatest Hits: Cracklin’ Rosie, Song Sung Blue
Neil Diamond cracked the top 10 billboard charts thirty-eight times with the same number of singles, and has enjoyed the release of more than one hundred albums across the world. As you can imagine, Diamond is one of the most profitable artists ever. His place in the Songwriters Hall of Fame was secured in 1984, and his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inauguration took place in 2011. Diamond has always held on to his good sense of humor. Will Ferrell made a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Diamond during his conclusive May 2002 special.
