Diane Warren is a song writer. She’s the thirty-fifth most successful songwriter in singles chart history in the UK. Or so says wiki.

I’m not sure about the UK, but over here, she’s been pretty damn successful. She has written a ton of songs that you would know, and her songs have been performed by pretty much everyone (including Kiss and Haylie Duff).

At one point she had 7 different songs by 7 different artists on the Billboard singles chart. She’s also been nominated for a variety of Golden Globes and Oscars for her songs in movies.

A sample of some of her hits:

• Cher – “If I Could Turn Back Time”
• Celine Dion – “Because You Loved Me”
• Toni Braxton – “Unbreak My Heart”
• Aerosmith – “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing”
• Bad English – “When I See You Smile”
• Ace Of Base – “Don’t Turn Around”
• LeAnn Rimes – “How Do I Live”
• Milli Vanilli – “Blame it on the Rain”

But my personal favorite: Starship’s Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now
