I've actually been aware of Max Martin for a while now, though I didn't know he was the producer for Ace of Base. Nor was I aware of most of the other songwriters. This all just shows how manufactured top-40 music is. There is some artistic merit to it, but for the most part it's a factory production of catchy, formulated music. The backstory and history as to all how this happened, however, was a fascinating read. Thanks for sharing this.
