1) A good melody....Something that the listener can easily sing along with and remember. The key here is something simple that the audience can handle with or without the CD spinning, the radio playing or TV on.

2) A great Chorus (Hook). The reason it's called a hook is just that....it is a line or a few that is easily remembered and ties the story/verses together. A song will not flow if the hook isn't right. The hook is the repeating theme that will take your song to the top. Some great songs began with just a hook and then the story was built around it.

3) A credible story. Every good song has to have a story that the audience can relate to or experience. When I say experience, I mean that the writer has to take the listener on a journey for that 3-4 minutes and keep their attention. The only way is to set up the story in the first verse and build with each subsequent verse, bridge or refrain. It doesn't work if the story isn't interesting.

4) A good song doesn't really rely on a great singer. The singer can be mediocre and the song can be a hit. A good song can be sung to with just a piano, guitar, violin or any instrument and if the song was all built on the solid story foundation, there is no stopping the momentum or power.

5) A good song has to be promoted so that the world can validate the writer's claim.
