Big Machine Music is celebrating its five-year anniversary with some pretty big numbers. Since launching in 2012, the indie publisher has racked up nine No. 1 hits and 16 Top 10 singles at country radio, and the company is currently celebrating three weeks on top of the charts with back-to-back No. 1’s with Brett Young’s “In Case You Didn’t Know” and Luke Combs’ “Hurricane,” which held the position for two weeks.

The company is poised to add to its hit total as well, with the Jonathan Singleton-penned “Yours If You Want It” (recorded by Rascal Flatts,) and Laura Veltz’s “I Could Use A Love Song” (performed by Maren Morris) currently climbing the charts.

“These first five years have been fun, fulfilling and everything that someone who loves songs and songwriters could hope for,” said BMM General Manager Mike Molinar. “I’m proud of what our incredibly talented songwriters and team continue to accomplish and the musical legacy we are creating. Thanks to Scott Borchetta, Andrew Kautz, our colleagues, partners and friends for their support!”

The BMM roster also includes Justin Moore, Joe Don Rooney (of Rascal Flatts), Maddie & Tae, Josh Thompson, Nathan Barlowe, Jessie Joe Dillon, Tara Thompson, Tucker Beathard, Trent Harmon, Lauren Jenkins, Johan Lindbrandt and Emily Landis. The company has also topped the charts with “Any Ol’Barstool,” “Girl In A Country Song,” “A Guy Walks Into A Bar,” “Sleep Without You,” “Drunk Last Night,” “Til My Last Day” and “Lettin’ The Night Roll.”
