Songwriter-koppels waarvan de leden evenveel punten hebben, of wel niet zonder elkaar een lied hebben geschreven dat de Top 5000 gehaald heeft, staan hierboven samen vermeld. Dat geldt voor Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil, Jimmy Page & Robert Plant, Mick Jagger & Keith Richards, Barry Gibb & Robin Gibb en Laszlo Javor & Reszo Seress. Maar niet voor de koppels Burt Bacharach & Hal David, Carole King & Gerry Goffin en John Lennon & Paul McCartney. Omdat de songwriters van deze duo’s ook los van elkaar nummers hebben gecomponeerd die als cover de Top 5000 hebben gehaald.
