Correction[edit]

The section of the article dealing with the Backstreet Boys is incorrect in stating that "Millenium" was the band's second album, when in fact it was their third, the second being the U.S. release of their eponymous album, appropiately enough subtitled "Backstreet's Back". I'm going to correct this false information. Cheers! --Fandelasketchup (talk) 21:24, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent long-form interview[edit]

Evidently, this is his first long interview. Even if that's not true, it's a great source for mining info on him for this bio. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:14, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

error[edit]

the first section is completely messed up and idk how to fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:88:8200:1019:C19B:8E15:466C:C89 (talk) 19:07, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Solid HarmoniE[edit]

According to the Solid HarmoniE page, Martin wrote most of their material, yet this is not mentioned anywhere. Please add a section on them.82.6.101.144 (talk) 21:23, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguate "Writing"[edit]

There is a big ambiguity and equivocation regarding the word "writer" here. It's sometimes used to mean "lyricist", sometimes "music composer", sometimes "advising producer". Most songwriters who write for and collaborate with performers will craft music and lyrics first, then present it to the performer in a rough demo recording. Notable performers then often rework the song in collaboration with the original songwriter and get a co-writing credit.

Can someone go into a little more detail about what Martin specifically contributes to some of the hits listed? ThreeRocks (talk) 20:43, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
