MUSIC WEEK, 5 MAY 1990
Still-hungry SAW hit a century of hits
THE MUSIC industry's highest-profile team of producers is claiming a new
record this week: one hundred hits in five years.
The entry of Kylie Minogue's Better The Devil You Know into the top 10
means that Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman have had a ton of
singles in the top 75 since they began working together in 1985.
"We're told this is a unique achievement," says PWL managing director
David Howells. He adds that 68 of the 100 songs have been SAW
compositions with 32 being cover versions.
Asked whether there is the potential in the team for another 100, he
replies: "I don't see why not.
"Everybody here is still hungry. They're all still very motivated. I've
never seen such motivated record producers - they're always looking for
the next hit.
"Usually, people think that after 10 hits they've done it. But these men
are in every day and work from 11 in the morning to 11 at night.
"And what's more, they're having fun. They're enjoying it."
