    The Weeknd‘s “Blinding Lights” rose to number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on March 30. It’s the fifth chart-topper in the R&B singer’s career, but it’s the 23rd chart-topper for one of the men behind the song: co-writer and producer Max Martin, who has helped shape pop music for more than two decades.

      ​@@chrisglaz1557 I'd argue its not easy as you think. I have the drums and basic chords down. However, if you listen to that vocoder whistle style sample at the start and check out this instrumental (ua-cam.com/video/agdXMLXrITM/v-deo.html) theres some sound design that I can't work out how to do. The brass sounding synth i'm uncertain of as well.
