(1) Successful songs are happier (3) Successful songs are less sad Hmm, yes. This floor is made of floor.

[@SaloRAD_music]

Lmao

[@Tevin-MK]

Hmm, okay. This floor is not a ceiling.

[@hellcat5music]

this made me laugh outloud way harder than it should have.

[@Flp_Lis]

Hmm, yes. This water is wet

[@TopBackgroundMusic]

Less sad doesn’t mean happier. Mid is less sad but not happy 😃

[@photophone5574]

I'd argue popular music succeeds not because it is good, but because it has a big name/marketing behind it.

[@BigGuyPineapple]

Agreed

[@Memphy]

I disagree, I think it needs both "good" music and marketing. The biggest labels are trying to make as much money as possible. Do you really think they would be spending their money marketing mediocre music? If you want good profit you need a good product. I guess it all depends on what you define as "good" music. Is music that appeal to a broad audience bad? I wouldn't say so. Is music that doesn't appeal to a big audience bad? I wouldn't say that either. Either way, if you want to appeal to a wider audience the findings in the video are definitely useful! :)

[@BritishBoy]

@@Memphy Honestly this is very true. I've had multiple music producers tell me before that it really doesn't matter that much if you aren't popular yet because if your music is good enough then the popularity will follow. A record label won't pass up a hit song from someone just because they don't know who they are.

[@malserc]

Biggest Phonk music hits are made by bunch of unknown dudes

[@uemoi]

@@malserc Oh you mean the music that went in trend ? that loads of people thinks is cool and listen to it because it's trending ?

[@lexruptor]

I think there's a degree of subjectivity on what's "a hit", cuz there aren't many chunes I'd call hits that are "happy", most are sad, or aggressive, that's what makes them hits. Emotion.

[@Memphy]

Yea it is sort of subjective. In this video a "hit" is considered a song that hit the top 100 charts.

[@lexruptor]

@@Memphy Ok, yeah, that's fair then ig. 👍

[@Tactical_Triangle]

Can we appreciate how consistent he uploads?

[@parambajaj3708]

[@sbnk1790]

Lmao

[@premixmpk7070]

Lol , man is busy

[@drac_frost]

Music is Art, if you could make the listener (most of them) thinks it was his story, or if they can feel the feelings your trying to deliver with your unique touch, that’s it! It doesn’t matter if it was english or any language or even only music. Good music will always be good music, even time can’t change that.

[@BestiesWesties]

[@nikj1178]

The final product actually sounds really good, thanks

Damn the melody already stuck on my head now:>

[@friendlySmiley]

You are so underrated

[@MechaTortoiseGaming]

It sounds like something I’d hear in 2016 (and that’s a good thing)

[@lolylolydab]

JELLO MEMPHY

[@vianmusic_]

hey man! Love your vids!Can you please do a vid on how to make music like the chainsmokers 2022-2023 edition?Like how they made their album so far so good

[@Memphy]

Ayyy, thanks! Yeah I love their new stuff as well so that definitely might happen! :)

[@trillagame7742]

Good example

[@challenge_fighter]

Hell this is genius

[@xmaesbits470]

Yes, memphy, yes science

[@totallynotluzzz]

Underated

[@latoyawatts168]

Thumbs UP

[@kh4nh4n94]

I prefer songs with more layers and complexity like Tyler's album IGOR, for me it's actually express more emotions than nowadays pop song

[@therealglocklein16]

NAJS!

[@NunameMusic]

I fucking like this song! So it's all about science, damn!

[@priyanzhu]

I'm not a producer! Just a nerdy science lover! You mentioned science here so I pulled up 😁

[@sakurasepuku4374]

There you go, I think it still has space to add voices, a boy band or a girl band over it. And you have your next k-pop hit. Although for those standards, it's still too slow, I've been analyzing the k-pop successful songs, and they all have a stomping sound and are fast, choreography oriented and loud. Also this was a great choice to add 7th's a proven formula from 80s pop music. I actually learned a lot from this video investigation, thank you!

[@andrewsuarez5034]

Lots of big edm artist like marshmello, the Chainsmokers and many more started as djs to build reputation then they eventually created their hit song that made them famous from their they kept it the same adter they knew what the listeners likes so they found their original style and stayed with it i believe creating a hit song isnbased on luck and making music from your heart

[@ghanasonowal7166]

Where you have been man?

[@Double-UOfficial]

You've basically created a tutorial on how to sound like the Chainsmokers, xd. Btw great tutorial!

[@lancecollins5074]

this is a good video, but don't limit the dynamic range of your melody. Thats what makes it stand out, also a hit must have a reason behind writing a song. very rarely artist sit down and say "im gonna write a hit" they usually have motives

[@Gamer-RSM]

Science x Music 🔥🔥

[@Avinix]

This was an actual TOP TIER BANGER!! A little more polishing and this is radio quality!!

[@pasindukalharagg3644]

my favourite fl producer...memphy

[@ice12984]

If most successful songs r happy I'm dead I can't write happy songs to save my life

[@808yann]

hehe now i steal the melody in the video and make finally made a hit song (laughts in cartoon pirate)

[@martiin6552]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@connor_1x1x1x1]

That is indeed a very pop song you just produced. However, I noticed that you made in style of 2016/2017 electro pop. Would you be able to make one that sounds more modern? One that actually sounds like a hit song from the early 2020s.

[@SoulStar0]

1:28 "fucking shit" - Memphy, 2023

[@MostafaAkmal]

this is just like closer

[@pete7164]

I would say that if someone is using scientific equations to make pop music, they probably shouldn't be making pop music

[@Ropsu1]

How to actually make a hit song: *s* *l* *a* *p* *h* *o* *u* *s* *e*

[@musicbydmerlo]

Or even more like in TikTok: *P h o n k*

[@Ropsu1]

@@musicbydmerlo haha true

[@musicbydmerlo]

@@Ropsu1Yeah, my theory is that the Slap House genre is probably dead this year, so there's a truckload of Phonk tracks released on Spinnin' Recs, NCS or independent release to attract more tiktokers and become hit tracks like other slap house tracks in the past two/three years.

[@Ropsu1]

@@musicbydmerlo slap house is already dead but it has been the most mainstream genre lately so i chose it to the comment

[@elypsemusic8042]

You know it's bad when Trap Nation only upload phonk house lately 😂

[@itsmohityt95]

It’s like Closer by the Chainsmokers
