What are the secrets of Song writing success? I analyzed ten famous songwriters and found that in most cases, writing music for Hit Songs was the key to their success.
The analyze of ten songwriters revealed the following patterns.

For example, the lyrics and the melody have to be as clear and as spot on as possible.• Importance of Rhythm. Music is most important in the structure of a song. The importance of Rhythm guided many of the great songwriters.line and lyrics of hit songs
Why a good hook is important
A good hook is like a good smell, a pleasant smell, a flavor you enjoy. It’s that something your friend or lover uses to draw you over. We are attracted to songs that have a catchy hook or riff.
Many a time, we categorize songs by their hook. Have you ever been watching television and saw two or three good hook songs on one show? They may have catchy verses, but often they also have good hooks that stick in your mind.
Having a hook is important, because every songwriter wants to write a good song. If you are attracted to this style of music, then give it a try.
What About The Melody?
The melody is also important, because every song will be enjoyable to hear. Even if there is no hook, the melody still has to be good. Study hit songs and listen to the melody. There must be a memorable melody.
