BMI songwriter Chris Janson celebrated his second No. 1 hit “Fix A Drink” last week in the BMI lobby alongside ASCAP co-writers Ashley Gorley and Chris DuBois. The track marks Gorley and DuBois’ 36th and 17th No. 1s respectively. The party was hosted by BMI’s David Preston and ASCAP’s Beth Brinker, and included presentations from each writer’s publishing team as well as remarks from Warner Music Nashville Chairman & CEO John Esposito.
“One of my radio regionals Ray Vaughn always says ‘team work makes the dream work,’ and I truly believe that,” said Janson. “I have a fantastic team behind me, from my label to my management, my agency, my publisher and beyond – not to mention my wife Kelly. I am so grateful to have people who believe in my music and fight for my songs. I am proud to share this No. 1 with each and every one of them as well as my fellow songwriters Ashley and Chris.”
Chris Janson, whose current single “Drunk Girl” is Top 40 and climbing at country radio, is on tour with Cole Swindell and was recently invited to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Upon his induction on March 20, he will be the Opry’s youngest living member.
