Eric Paslay visited the MusicRow office on Wednesday (Aug. 24), where he was presented with two MusicRow No. 1 Challenge Coins.

The EMI Records Nashville singer-songwriter was honored for his hit “Song About a Girl,” which topped the MusicRow CountryBreakout Chart on July 10, 2014. The song was co-written by Paslay, Jessi Alexander and Gordie Sampson. Publishers for the track include Cal IV Songs, Five Stone Publishing, Party Of Five Music, Bughouse, ASCAP/Dash8 Music, Bug Music, and BMG Chrysalis Music.

Paslay was also recognized for co-writing “Rewind,” recorded by Rascal Flatts. The track topped the MusicRow CountryBreakout chart on April 3, 2014. “Rewind” was co-written by Paslay, Chris DeStefano and Ashley Gorley. Publishers on the track include EMI April Music, Sugar Glider Music, External Combustion Music, Out Of The Taperoom Music, Songs Of Southside Independent Music Publishing, and Cal IV Songs.

Since 2014, every artist and songwriter who achieves a No. 1 single on the MusicRow CountryBreakout Chart earns a MusicRow Challenge Coin.

Paslay is currently on the road with Toby Keith as part of the Interstates and Tailgates Tour, presented by Ford F-Series. Inspired by his current single, “Angels In This Town,” Paslay has been making “angel visits” to perform at local hospitals, Ronald McDonald houses, and other charities during each tour stop.
