Question: Which act landed their first hot 100 entry with misery business in 2007?

If you are a fan of pop-punk music, you might be familiar with the song "Misery Business" by Paramore. It was the lead single from their second album, Riot!, released in 2007. The song was a huge hit, reaching number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the band's breakthrough song.  

But do you know which act landed their first Hot 100 entry with "Misery Business" in 2007? The answer is not as obvious as you might think. Paramore is not the only act credited on the song. There is another artist who contributed to the songwriting and production, and who also made his debut on the Hot 100 with this song.

That artist is David Bendeth, a Canadian musician, producer and engineer who has worked with many rock bands, such as Breaking Benjamin, All Time Low, Of Mice & Men and more. Bendeth co-produced Riot! with the band, and also co-wrote "Misery Business" with Hayley Williams and Josh Farro. 

Bendeth played a key role in shaping the sound and direction of the album, and especially of "Misery Business". He encouraged Williams to include the controversial line "Once a whore, you're nothing more, I'm sorry that'll never change", which she initially felt morally wrong to sing. He also suggested adding a guitar solo to the bridge, which Farro improvised on the spot. 

Bendeth's involvement in "Misery Business" earned him his first Hot 100 entry as a songwriter and producer, along with Paramore. He later worked with the band again on their third album, Brand New Eyes, in 2009. He has since continued to produce and write songs for many other rock acts, earning more chart success and acclaim.

So, next time you listen to "Misery Business", remember that it was not only Paramore who landed their first Hot 100 entry with it in 2007, but also David Bendeth, the man behind the scenes who helped make it happen.
