The Hitmaking Mindset Behind 18 Hot 100 #1s ft. Sean Garrett “The Pen” #259

Sean Garrett aka “The Pen” is one of the most legendary hitmakers of the modern era. He’s credited with 18 Billboard Hot 100 #1 singles in just 7 years, and Billboard recently ranked him #23 on its Greatest Songwriters of the 21st Century list.

In this episode, Sean breaks down the art of hitmaking (and why it’s not the same thing as songwriting). We discuss what all hit records have in common, why interacting with humans is the secret sauce for relatability, and the real mindset shift most independent artists need to make if they want their music to cut through.
