This reminds me of the book by Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond called The Manual (How to Have a Number One the Easy Way). The KLF wrote this book about how to make a number one hit and supposedly used their own book that produce some classic dance anthems from the early to mid 90s.

- No woman no cry - Yeah momma this surely is a dream -Don't tell me your sorry cause your not -Well I guess this is growing up -I come from the land down under... Just thought it would fit the cadence of that part.

Yeah, there are still so many 4 chord songs to choose from :') not a good sign for pop music. It's been stagnating in creativity for a while. Since the 'hit singles" are written by a handful of people and performed by many artists bound to a record label. Like Skylar grey she probably has more writing credits than lots of other female artists. She basically wrote lots of Rihanna songs for her.

Mind blown , now it makes sense why a lot of songs sound the same to me. I thought I was just imagining things

Cool

As in You're Beautiful, these chords are in one part, verse, bridge or chorus, then the song changes. Brilliant though, they managed to start from the 2nd bar as well, so to make it VI IV I V instead of I V VI IV. I bet in the future there'll be plenty of more songs with these chords. It's not just pop though, they've been used in classical music as well. They just sound good, nothing you can do about it. Sound, arrangement, vocals, lyrics, instruments and the lot make all the difference. Try I VI IV V or I V IV V and you can come up with hundreds of songs for each progression. Not to mention the blues progression which works for most blues and rock and roll hits of the 50s 60s 70s
