Max Martin and Dr Luke have been announced as the joint winners of the prestigious ASCAP Songwriter of the Year award in America.
Billboard are reporting that the pair are responsible for five of the most performed songs of 2010, including Katy Perry's 'California Gurls' and Taio Cruz's 'Dynamite'.
Alongside those, Luke also, as it were, had a hand in Miley Cyrus and Ke$ha, with 'Party In The USA' and 'Tik Tok' respectively, while Martin's win was bolstered by his work on Usher's 'DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love'. Martin previously won the award in 1999, 2000 and 2001.
According to ASCAP, Dr Luke has been involved in twenty US Number One singles in the past five years, which is pretty good going for a man whose first co-write was a Kelly Osbourne album track.
