In the past decade, perhaps no writer has experienced as much success in the r&b genre as Ne-Yo; and that doesn’t even include the songs he’s written for himself! After bursting onto the scene in placing “That Girl” for Marques Houston and “Let Me Love You” for Mario in 2003 and 2004, Ne-Yo has been one of the most in demand writers out there producing single after single. Here we take a look at his top credits over the years, highlighting some of those majors hits he’s created for other artists. Remember as always, we try as much as possible to avoid duplicating artists on the list, so keep that in mind when reading. Also as always, be sure to leave your feedback!
