5 more? for gods sake, there are practically no GT-songs in that list. And all early unreleased GT-demos like “Tre sekunder”, “Tomtefar”, “Mona Lisa” and so on. I think he wrote about 500 songs totally.

That’s like asking how many drops it rains during a storm...
Correct answer: No one knows, many! :D
I am almost sure he doesn’t even know how many he wrote, the creative process of songwriting is a bit blurry.
Sometimes 1 song becomes 2 or three, or 2 songs merge into one, and seriously, it’s difficult to keep track for the songwriter.
If you asked how many are published, that could be known, but how many he composed you will never know.
