In a rare profile for the New York Times, Martin admits he went into the process nearly clueless, having only seen two musicals before his own. But recently, the Swedish super-producer pivoted to the theater world, overseeing a jukebox musical of his hits, & Juliet. 1 hits for everybody from Britney Spears to Katy Perry to Taylor Swift, putting him only behind Paul McCartney and John Lennon for most No. Max Martin has spent his career pretty narrowly focused on pop music, and for good reason.
