Best Answer

I am assuming pop/rock is the genre you are interested in. If you include songs with joint authorship the answer is overwhelmingly Paul McCartney. He had 20 cowritten number 1 hits with The Beatles and nine with Wings and in his solo career. Nobody else is even close.

Who were the Beatles main song writers?

Lennon/ McCartney wrote most of the Beatles songs, though Starr did write 1 of the most well known ones, Octopuses Garden. Lennon and McCartney had a handshake agreement going back to their earliest days that all songs either of them wrote for the band would carry the authorship of "Lennon/McCartney". In the bands earlier days - up until the time they really "hit it big" - many (not all) of their songs were genuine collaborative efforts. "She Loves You" is a typical example. But from that point on, it is more accurate to say that one or the other wrote the song, with the one who didn't being a "consultant". To be fair, Lennon wrote the lion's share of the groups big hits, but when McCartney wrote a winner, he really wrote a winner ("Michelle", "Yesterday", "And I Love Her", "Hey Jude".) Another good example of a collaborative effort is "We Can Work it Out". The main chorus "Try to see it my way . . . " is McCartney. The counterpoint view in the bridge ("Life is very short . . . ") is Lennon.
