I don't think the Steve Mac (techno producer / remixer who has just released 'Paddy's Revenge') is the same Steve mac who has produced Westlife and Leonah Lewis and the like - there must be two record producers with the same name!
I'll remove the latest entry until someone can link Steve Mac the ballad writer and producer to Steve Mac the techno DJ. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.178.67.234 (talk) 12:34, September 29, 2008 (UTC)
Well i'm confused, despite that irish independent article saying that he's the guy who produced for Westlife, discogs has two Steve Macs. One called Steve McCutcheon who does all the westlife, leona stuff etc. and one called Stephen Michael McGuiness who did Paddy's Revenge.
NEW ARTICLE: The confusion and number of times in the history that this Steve Mac (McCutcheon) has been called the man behind Paddy's Revenge suggests Steve McGuiness also deserves his own page. Any probs with this? extraordinary (talk) 17:02, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Steve Mac (Westlife) and Steve Mac (Paddy's Revenge) are two completely different people!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.68.39.253 (talk) 14:57, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
I've spent time time starting to put together a list of all of the the Top Ten hit singles that Steve Mac has been a writer/co-writer in. This is list is biased to the UK (and the US to some extent). I've been scratching my head about the number of No 1 hit singles that one of the sources refers to in The Independent in 2012, which mentions 23 No 1s and 77 No 2s. I was really interested in this success, so thought I'd start the list. However I'm only up to 9 No 1s, which is remarkable, but not 23. It's quite a gap. I must be missing an act or acts that he has worked with, but I went through each artist. I'm a little bit worried that perhaps the statistics include those singles that Steve Mac had only produced. It's still pretty amazing, but not what people understand as No 1 hit records. In fact the more I think about, 77 No 2s is a lot. Maybe he worked in other countries as well. Perhaps that's where the difference lies. Anyway, I thought I'd put up the list so far to see if anyone else can move it forward. Seaweed (talk) 21:11, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
I've just added the Irish chart placings for the songs I'd added, and now realise there are some more No1s. Now I understand The Independent statistics better; they don't actually state a country. So it's No 1s anywhere in the world.Seaweed (talk) 19:54, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
