Get ready to dive into the hit-making machine as we untangle the myth that pop music hits are born from a top-secret algorithm.

We chat with music maestro James North of James North Productions, who spills the tea on what a music producer really does (hint: it's not just pressing buttons and nodding to the beat). We'll explore whether there's a hidden formula behind those catchy tunes you can't get out of your head, and James will even share tips on how to create your own chart-topper. Spoiler: it involves more than just a catchy chorus and some auto-tune.

We also delve into the phenomenon of Psy's "Gangnam Style" – how did that quirky track become a global sensation?

Tune in to find out, and get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe even sing along.

PS This interview was so jam-packed with juicy insights and hilarious anecdotes that we had to make it a two-parter! Don’t miss the mini clip where we speculate wildly about AI's role in the future of music. Could robots soon be stealing James's job?
