The third member of the Hit Factory along with Pete Waterman and Mike Stock comes in at number 8.
8 MATT AITKEN
Born on 25th August 1956 in Coventry, England. He was one third of the writing and production team of Stock, Aitken and Waterman who dominated the U.K. charts throughout much of the 80's and early 90's. Starting off writing for the gay dance market, known as Hi-Energy of Boystown they started to hit the charts with alarming regularity throughout the 80's, virtually dominating the Top 10 in this time, they called themselves the Hit Factory and the name was very apt, until they split during the mid 90's. In 2005 after years of claims and counter claims, SAW reformed only for Aitken to leave soon after.
