Who are the best pop songwriters of this century so far? Songwriters who have debuted pre-2000 (like Max Martin and Dr. Luke for example) are ineligible.

Please don't mention artist who are not pop or didn't debut in 2000-present because the question is specifically about pop songwriters of this century. Thanks

Originally posted by boodytay Is the phrase "of the century" so hard to understand? Max Martin debuted in the previous century and therefore he's ineligible.
