** Each week I measure the #1 song of the week in “Measuring a Hit” for you to readily see common threads in the songwriting of today's biggest hits (hint: we’ll find many!). A post titled “A Closer Look” follows in a few days which brings a few songwriting craft issues of the song to your attention.
