Kevin Welch remains in the No. 1 spot on the MusicRow Top Songwriter Chart for his third consecutive week with Chris Stapleton’s “Millionaire.” Laura Veltz has made her way up to the No. 2 spot, advancing by one spot each week for the last four charts.
It’s a good time to be Ashley Gorley. Last week he was honored as ASCAP’s Country Songwriter of the Year for the sixth time; this week he moves up 13 slots to No. 5 on the MusicRow Top Songwriter Chart. The songs that drive him are Chase Rice’s “Eyes On You,” Chris Lane’s “I Don’t Know About You,” Eli Young Band’s “Love Ain’t,” Lee Brice’s “Rumor” and Luke Bryan’s “What Makes You Country.”
