Songwriters Michael Tyler and Jaron Boyer collected MusicRow Challenge Coins this week as co-writers of Dierks Bentley’s No. 1 hit, “Somewhere on a Beach.” The song topped the MusicRow CountryBreakout Chart on Thursday (April 21).

Since 2014, every artist and songwriter who achieves a No. 1 song on the chart is rewarded with a coin.

Boyer and Tyler wrote “Somewhere on a Beach” with Alexander Palmer, Dave Kuncio, and Josh Mirenda. It’s the lead single from Bentley’s upcoming album, Black, scheduled for release on May 27.

In addition, Tyler is working on his first album for Reviver Records, following the announcement of a recording contract in February. He is managed by Michael Knox, a producer and VP of peermusic Nashville.
