The radio-hit single was by a man and a woman who was not Joni; I think they were French. Minor point: It's vocal "cords," not "chords." John also wrote (or quoted), beginning with a quote from Mike: >*** > >Mike wrote: > >>To say that Britney Spears is a greater songwriter and singer than Joni >Mitchell is an idiotic remark. > >???

I think this phenomenon shows that someone is a fabulous marketer, not that the tunesmith of "Oops ... " is a fabulous songwriter. And does Britney Spears write her own songs?
