Pharrell breaks down some of the top hits he's produced for Usher, Britney Spears, Ray J and more

During a recent interview with the Associated Press, super producer Pharrell recalls some of the top hits he's produced.

Pharrell's diverse catalog features the likes of Beyonce, Heitor Pereira, Daft Punk, Usher and Ray J.

Pharrell has produced numerous songs on his own but also many with Chad Hugo as part of the Neptunes. Here's what he had to say of his diverse body of work:

"I wanted to work with all cultures and all kinds of people so it could teach me more about my own craft. All of the artists we were blessed to work with that didn't look like us, that didn't sound like us or didn't dance like us, all of that was the very reason I was able to make this album."

Pharrell took home the Grammy for nonclassical producer of the year back in January. His work on Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" and Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" helped him snag the award.

During his interview with the AP, Pharrell broke down his favorite five songs he's produced.

The songs he chose were Usher's "U Don't Have to Call," Jay Z's "So Ambitious," "Gust of Wind," which is from Pharrell's G I R L album and features Daft Punk, Missy Elliott's "On & On" and N.E.R.D.'s "Life As a Fish" and "Inside of Clouds."

The AP also gave its top picks selecting Britney Spears' "I'm a Slave 4 U," Beyonce's "Blow," Mase and Puff Daddy's "Lookin' at Me" and Ray J and Lil Kim's "Wait a Minute."
