Beyoncé — “Halo”
Beyoncé recorded “Halo,” which she co-wrote with Tedder and Evan Kidd Bogart. It is a prominent cross-artist credit, not a solo songwriting credit for Tedder (SEC filing).
Adele — “Rumour Has It”
Adele recorded “Rumour Has It,” co-written by Adele Adkins and Tedder. In a GRAMMY.com interview, Tedder recalled that Adele kept songs from their sessions and asked him to finish the production and mix of “Rumour Has It” (SEC filing; GRAMMY.com).
Ed Sheeran — “Happier”
Ed Sheeran recorded “Happier,” co-written by Sheeran, Benjamin Levin, and Tedder (SEC filing).
Leona Lewis — “Bleeding Love”
Leona Lewis recorded “Bleeding Love,” which Official Charts identifies as a UK Number 1 hit written by Tedder. The Recording Academy also lists it among the 2009 Grammy nominees (Official Charts; Recording Academy).
Ella Henderson — “Ghost”
Ella Henderson recorded “Ghost,” another song Official Charts describes as a UK Number 1 hit written by Tedder (Official Charts).
How to read Tedder’s songwriting credits
These credits show two sides of his catalog: songs recorded by OneRepublic and songs recorded by other artists. They also show that songwriting is often collaborative. “Halo,” “Rumour Has It,” “Happier,” and “Good Life” all have multiple credited writers; “Secrets” is described in the cited schedule as written by Tedder for OneRepublic. The SEC schedule is a selected asset listing, not a complete catalog or an official ranking of his best work.
Chart context: OneRepublic’s “I Ain’t Worried”
Official Charts reported in 2022 that “I Ain’t Worried” peaked at No. 4 on the UK Official Singles Chart, calling it OneRepublic’s highest-charting UK single since 2014. That is a dated UK chart peak, not a current position. In the interview, Tedder joked about the success: “You know, it’s great. I figured I write enough stuff to other people, every now and then I should probably put my own sh*t in the charts! Why not?” (Official Charts).
