THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.

870-Kelly Clarkson-Since U Been Gone.

2005-Number 5 single.

Best Bit-At 0.47.Ever wondered why so many songs sound the same? It’s the fault of Max Martin.

Karl Martin Sandberg was born in Sweden in 1971, he has written or co-written 23 Billboard Number 1 singles to date, writing for artists such as The Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift.

‘Since U Been Gone’ was co-written by Martin, and the almost as prolific hit maker, Lukasz Gottwald, who is better known by his working name of Dr. Luke (see also best songs 824.)By 2004 Martin had already written, and produced many ‘Pop’ hits,and was wanting to produce something with more of a ‘Rock’ influence. Martin, and Dr. Luke had been listening to,and admiring ‘Alternative Rock,’ and ‘Indie Music,’ and were inspired by the group, the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s.’ and particularly their song,’Maps.’They realised that by writing a song in that style, but adding a big chorus, would give them a hit.

The song was first offered to Pink, who turned it down,then given to Hilary Duff, but she rejected it because she couldn’t reach it’s higher notes, so finally on the recommendation of the music veteran Clive Davis it was offered to Kelly Clarkson, who was the first ever winner of ‘American Idol’ in 2002. Clarkson was looking to give her music more of a Rock, than Pop edge, for her second Album,’Breakaway,’ and she agreed to record the song, as long as more drums, and guitars were added to the mix.

‘Here’s the thing, we started out friends, it was cool, but it was all pretend, yeah, yeah.’
