There are two names on this list that give me pause.

Thank you @nytimes for this incredible honor. All I ever wanted to be known as, before anything else, is a songwriter. Being in the company of the genius songwriters on this list is an honor all on its own. Thank you @danamo for the illuminating interview, and @VictoriaMonet for your beautifully generous words. It means more than you know.
@danamo Meanwhile.. Mariah is the standard and one of the greatest songwriters of all time! Her pen game is definitely in a league of its own! Thatβs QUEEN! Thank you for a great interview with MC! β€οΈπ¦

She has always gotten hate whenever she is being recognized for her accomplishments. Everyone wants to contribute her success to others rather than her.
@danamo Too bad we need a membership in order to comment on the article.
I assume the type of person who typically comments on a NYT article skews a bit older 50+. That demographic wants Neil Young not Mariah. π
