| 10 | Ashley Parker Angel | ||||
| 11 | Avril Lavigne | Max Martin said this about working with Michael Jackson in the Time Magazine interview "The Music Man" by Jeff Chu (December 21, 2001):
On collaborations past, present and future: Max Martin: " I actually recorded Michael Jackson on one of the 3-T tracks. The guy can definitely sing. It's absolutely amazing what he did that night in the studio. I actually had to walk off — it was me and Denniz sitting there doing the recording. When [Jackson] started singing, I just lost it. I had to walk out for a while. I just left him singing. That was weird." |

| Very Exciting News!: Radio program about Cheiron! This has been mentioned on our forum but Christoffer wrote to me the following: (Thanks Christoffer!) | |||||
| Today on 09:30, Swedish time, on radio Channel P4 Radio Stockholm journalist Fredrik Eliasson started a series dedicated to the Swedish pop phenomenom Cheiron studios and the memory of Denniz Pop on every Thursday in 4 parts at 09:30. I think its 4 parts. It includes interviews with Max Martin who steps out of the shadows (respectfully) and other artists who worked with El Maestro. | |||||
| However it's in Swedish and not in English. But the entire Part 1 is uploaded so you can listen to it anyway, every day they upload it. It's an intro and how it all started. | |||||
| Martin from Sweden also let me know that we can enjoy the musical bits even if we don´t understand (as it's in Swedish). There were some samples from Denniz's early DJ mixes on Swemix. Denniz himself could be heard talking, as well as his sister, for example. Thanks Martin, sounds great. | |||||

30 August 2008: This day is the 10th anniversary of Denniz Pop's death. |
|||||
| Denniz died at the young age of 35 and in that time he contributed so much to music with the songs he wrote and produced, the start-up of Cheiron Studios and his discovery and mentoring of many artirts and songwriters. So why not remember some of his songs, these are just a few of my favourites, most of which I play almost daily!: Dr Alban's "Sing Hallelujah", Backstreet Boys "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" and "Nobody But You", NSync's "I Want You Back", Five's "Slam Dunk Da Funk", Ace of Base "The Sign", Jessica Folcker's "Tell Me What You Like", Herbie's "Gangs to the Max" and E-Type's "Set The World on Fire". | |||||
| Here is a tribute page devoted to Denniz: http://www.disco-disco.com/djs/denniz.shtml | |||||
| Thanks Birchmead for the reminder of this day. | |||||
| _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ | |||||
| 23 August 2008: Martin from Sweden and I were discussing that the public generally don't know the names of songwriters/producers and what a shame this is. Then Martin told me this: | |||||
| Björn Ulvaeus has actually spoken and written about how songwriters deserve more credit, although he´s gotten plenty of credit himself. | |||||
| He means that new songwriters can´t develop if everyone´s downloading for free. |
|||||
| Björn thinks the songwriting credits should be mentioned more often on the radio. His example was: After playing "Oops!... I Did It Again" and talking about Britney, who mentions Max Martin and Rami? | |||||
| wow, that is so great that Björn mentioned Max and Rami!!! I agree with Björn! | |||||

| The journalist, Anders Nundstedt, wrote about the dedication: "That was nice. Denniz Pop wasn´t only a pop genius, but also a very loveable man." | |||||
Martin also told me that: This journalist Anders who saw the BSB concert, later wrote on his blog about something surprising that happened the next day: when he went to pick up his kid from daycare, someone was standing by the door looking like he had partied too much the night before. It was Nick Carter.
I don´t know if they talked. I think this was close to where Cheiron used to be. |
|||||
