The 50 Greatest Producers of the 21st Century: Staff List

If there's been one consistent in popular music across the first 20-plus years of the 21st century, it's been the prominence of the producer, leading pop's vanguard as much as any of its biggest recording artists.

As part of our digital cover package this week celebrating the producer, we're counting down our staff's picks for the 50 greatest studio mavens of this century: the most innovative, impactful and important knob-twiddlers since 2000. To keep the focus mostly behind the scenes, we tried not to include artists largely known just for producing their own work, and we tried not to weigh any superproducers' work as a lead artist too heavily in anyone's ranking.

Still, the producers who have made the cut all have bodies of work that speak for themselves, shaping the sound of popular music domestically and abroad. Many of them continue to push the envelope every time their fingers grace their studio consoles -- and a special few of them have been doing so consistently since the ball dropped on 2000. Here are our choices for the 50 greatest.

'What makes Max Martin's songs so popular? Three-quarters of the songs are in major and one quarter in minor. The most popular tonality is G Major. 50% of Martin's songs have 4 chords, 22.7% have 3 chords, 13.6% have 5 chords and 13.6% have 6 chords...' More in my book

Facts , I don't think there's ever been a time in history where producers were acknowledged like they are now .
