This year we saw the Hip-hop genre take the title of top honor as being the most popular music genre in the U.S. and it looks like we might have an idea who exactly is responsible for that reign.

According to a survey conducted by Royalty Exchange and MBW, who monitored the most successful hit songwriters in the US, for the first half of 2017, Metro Boomin came at the top of the list for having produced a total of nine Billboard Hot 100 hits in the six-month period.

Announced back in July, the list shows that some of the hits Metro was responsible for are the 21 Savage-assisted tracks ‘No Heart’ and ‘X,’ as well as the Future hit ‘Mask Off’ and ‘Tunnell Vision’ by Kodack Black.

Migos member Quavo comes in second for his 19 Hot 100 contributions, while Kendrick Lamar comes in third with a total of 17 Hot 100 hits from one sole album.
