Interesting. Quite a few of them were already released or at least listed on the other codex, though... I'll check my records and maybe post later which ones are really new.

That'd be most excellent, it's quite confusing what's new and what renumbered or whatever's been done to the list. :)

Fritz- 07-01-2007

Okay, let's see. "21st Century Heartbreak", "All On You", "Feelin It", "I'm All About Being With You", "Lover I Need A Lover", "Only Cause You're Mine", "Sunshine You're My Lifeline", and "Why'd You Say You're In Love" are really new and possibly worth further investigation. "Because I Like It", "Come On Over To My Place", "Don't Stop Turning Me On", "Face The Music", "Get Back To What's Real", "Go For Broke", "Hot Goods", "I Hope You Don't Find Love", "I Need A Lover That Knows How To Party", "Instant Deja Vu", "Just Checkin' Baby", "Let's Get Started", "Lookin' Right", "Once I Was Loved", "One In A Billion", "Perfect Kind Of Lover", "Shaping Up", "Speaking My Language", "Turn It Up", "Ungodly Good", "Why Can't We Make Things Work", "Why Do I Love You", "You Made Me Real", and "You Win" were already listed on the other codex, but remain unreleased as far as I know. "Better Like This" could be "Ain't It Better Like This". Otherwise it'd be new. I guess "Love Like That" is "A Love Like That" and "You Can't Make Me" could be "Break Me Shake Me" "Kiss The Pony" of course was one of the songs Gregg wrote for AKA (not sure if anybody remembers, though), and finally shows up on any of the codex here. "Only Thing I Know", "Second Chance", "Where'd It Go", all written with Ronan, are probably songs that didn't make it onto Ronan's last album. "Everybody Gets Pumped", "I'm Moving On", "I Need You To Say It", "It's The Way You Touch Me", "Live It Up Tonight", and "Suspended Animation" have all been released quite a while ago.

Excellent work. :) The thing I find really strange is why are the old songs listed under virtually new numbers rather than match up with the numbers of around the time that those dropped projects relate to. That's what confuses me the most, or are these reworks of those songs, or is it just Gregg updating all the gaps in his BMI codex and those are just the numbers they issued him. I've not checked to see if some of those old titles are listed twice under their known released titles. But it does just make me wonder though. :?

Titan- 07-01-2007

I've just had a quick look and the old tracks are still listed with their original titles and BMI release numbers. I guess some of these "newer" numbered older tracks must be reworks or updates. :?

Fritz- 07-01-2007

As far as I can see, these are songs that hadn't been listed before at all (with one or two exceptions, e.g. "You Can't Make Me").

Fritz- 07-01-2007

And in case anybody other than me is keeping track, the only released song still missing from the BMI codex now is "Here Comes My Baby" by Belinda Carlisle. And possibly the bonus track on Intoxifornication. There are, however, some unreleased songs (from Kennedy, Ronan, Jason Mraz) still missing as well. I also haven't checked yet if the EMI codex might list something currently not on the BMI one.

Titan- 07-01-2007

Just checked the related artists and co-writers and there appear to have been recent projects added there too. There are some new songs listed with the same #87 prefix but have nothing to do with Gregg at all. It seems that some of this #87 batch of Gregg songs made up part of these third party projects with several of his main clients. So either expect to see them on a future B-side, a new CD release maybe or dropped in the usual manner at the last minute. The following have added new tracks, some directly or indirectly relate to Gregg's new listings: Rick Nowels has gone from 146 to 171 Rob Davis has gone from 127 to 137 Billy Steinberg has gone from 142 to 145 Ronan has gone from 79 to 82 Sophie has gone from 54 to 57 Enrique has gone from 27 to 34 Ricky Martin has strangely gone from 57 to 56 :shock: Kennedy added one track taking his total from 46 to 47

Fritz- 07-02-2007

Okay, here's the list of songs that appear (or appeared -- it looks like some were removed recently) on the EMI codex but are missing from the BMI one: "Anymore", "Are We Or Aren't We", "Excuse Me", "I Ain’t Your Pussycat", "I’m Still Alive", "Knocked Me Out", "Live For Tonight", "Lo Que Tenga Que Ser", "No One‘s Safe From Goodbyes (Original Version)", "Push A Little Harder", "Tal Vez Despues", "What If Everything Happend At Once", "Why Can’t We ", and "You Can't Take A Raincheck On Love". Of those, "Tal Vez Despues" is the only one that was released, as far as I know. And it's of course interesting that it lists an Original Version of "No One‘s Safe From Goodbyes". It also lists "Beautiful You", which is strange since Gregg didn't write that one acording to the album/single credits.

Titan- 12-17-2007

The following have added new and some old tracks, anything from #89 to #93. Gregg has gone from 195 to 205* Danielle has gone from 204 to 207* Rick Nowels has gone from 171 to 176 Rob Davis has gone from 137 to 140 Billy Steinberg has gone from 145 to 146 Ronan has gone from 82 to 84 Mel C has gone from 28 to 33 Enrique has gone from 34 to 38 Geri Halliwell has gone from 16 to 20 Kennedy added one track taking his total from 46 to 47 *= Ones worth noting

Danielle's now up to 210. Haven't figured out which the new one is, yet.

Fritz- 04-02-2008

The new one is "Stamp Your Feet", one of Danielle's Donna Summer tracks, and had already been listed as just "Stamp". Oh, and Paul Herman, who co-wrote the song Titan posted about above with Danielle, also wrote Dido's "Thank You".
