Writing a song and looking for that magical chord progression - it may be the same one everyone else is using!
Why not pick a tried and true progression that's responsible for churning out hit song after hit song.
I recently wrote a few books on chord progressions called "Secrets of the Chord Chain" if you're interested in learning how to write beautiful chord progressions in any key you should grab those books.
You may say "well forget about that - I want a really wild chord progression!" That's fine and dandy but you may want to consider that the progressions I present here familiar and pleasing to peoples ears and have been used for countless hit songs.
Everyone's top 5 progressions are different - these are the ones I think it's essential for you to know and use... or at least try...
Hit Maker - I V vi IV
This is the most popular progression today, It can be found in all styles of music...
It's amazing how many popular songs use this progression - a producer once said - it needs to be a I V vi V if you want a hit song!
Listen to how pleasing this sounds when you paly it.

Some more...
Now, this post was focused on popular music and popular progressions - so these Jazz progressions did not make a appearance:
- ii V I (used in most jazz songs)
- I vi ii V (standard changes in jazz)
Basic ones using just the I IV and V chord were not included which would include:
- I IV V
- I IV I V
- I IV V IV
those are the most popular ones I left out... For more grab my "Secrets of the Chord Chain" books...
