Herb is making a good point. Check out Floyd Jane's post in the OFF TOPIC FORUM titled, "The Formula for writing country hits". He links to a blog and video where that poster dissects, mixes and merges 6 recent country hits into a single song. It's sort of reverse engineers Herb's point of 10 versions of one would all be different into 6 different songs are really just one.

For hit songs, it does not appear to depend as much on intuition as it does emulation.

Vocabulary.com says: "When you emulate someone, you imitate them, especially with the idea of matching their success."
