Jackie Chan uses a five-note major scale as a melody (which most piano students learn at their first or second lesson).
I know, I know. Every musician ever has complained about this. However, it’s worth noting that some of the most famous chart-toppers are surprisingly simple. Did you know that Uptown Funk is composed of only two repeating chords? Turn Down for What is arguably only one chord. (The beginning snare sample is also a variation on the Millennial Clave, and the \”hey\” shouts show up here, too!) Jackie Chan uses a five-note major scale as a melody (which most piano students learn at their first or second lesson). Simplicity is fine once in a while, but its use is concerning if it becomes the absolute norm.
