Josh Kear picked up four MusicRow No. 1 Challenge Coins during a visit to the MusicRow office on Thursday (Aug. 25).
Since 2014, every artist and songwriter who achieves a No. 1 single on the MusicRow CountryBreakout Chart receives a coin.
Coins were presented for writing credits on Dierks Bentley’s “Drunk on a Plane,” Blake Shelton’s “Neon Light,” Lee Brice’s “Drinking Class,” and Lady Antebellum’s “Long Stretch of Love.”
Signed to Big Yellow Dog Music, Kear has achieved numerous hit singles over the years, including Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats” and Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now,” as well as Tim McGraw’s “Highway Don’t Care,” Luke Bryan’s “Drunk on You” and Frankie Ballard’s “Helluva Life.”
