• 118 have their songs recorded by three or more different acts.

• 1,295 of the 4,423 credited records name more than one writer — 1.38 names per record on average.
• Songwriter gender is recorded for 3,078 records: 2,664 by men, 278 by women and 136 by mixed teams.
• The Composer field is filled on 68% of the archive, so these counts are a floor, not a full picture.
