The Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) celebrated its latest #1 Party, sponsored by Klindt, Cole & Associates, on Tuesday, Feb. 23, at the Music Mill, NSAI’s Music Row headquarters.

NSAI honored 18 Nashville-associated writers whose songs topped the Billboard Airplay, Digital, Hot or Mediabase charts between August 2015 and December 2015 in both country and Christian music formats.

Additionally, the family of Linda Hargrove accepted her #1 award for “Tennessee Whiskey” on her behalf. Country artist Chris Stapleton covered the song on his album Traveller.
