In a rich man's world

A Dutch TV Channel, NOS 3, showed a fantastic documentary yesterday: "Abba's All Time Greatest Hits". Great stuff for Abba fans and anyone interested in the craft of songwriting.

The documentary used a piece of software, 'Hit Song Science', to see if the Abba songs would still make their way to the Top Ten today. They would.

You can take that in two ways. Either it shows that nothing replaces a good songwriter or it shows that today's Top Ten comes out of a computer. Take your pick.
