Ashley Gorley made history Tuesday afternoon (Feb. 20) during the CMA’s ninth annual Triple Play Awards, when he received three trophies for his whopping nine No. 1 songs, which brings his all-time total to 11 Triple Play Awards. The honors make Gorley the most-awarded Triple Play recipient of all time.

Shane McAnally was also recognized during the luncheon for his six chart-toppers, while Thomas Rhett and his father Rhett Akins both received honors as well, marking the first time a father and son received Triple Play Awards in a single year.

The private industry luncheon held at Nashville’s Marathon Music Works recognizes writers who have penned three No. 1 songs within a 12-month period based on the Country Aircheck, Billboard Country Airplay and Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. This year honored Rhett Akins, Ross Copperman, Zach Crowell, Jesse Frasure, Ashley Gorley, Ben Hayslip, Sam Hunt, Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne, Matthew Ramsey, Thomas Rhett, Trevor Rosen, Brad Tursi, Brad Warren, and Brett Warren.

Throughout the ceremony, videos recorded by each songwriter played before each award was presented, ranging from heartfelt congratulations to hilarious skits.

A special CMA Songwriters Series show featuring Copperman, McAnally and The Warren Brother took place Tuesday evening following the Triple Play Awards luncheon. McAnally hosted the event, and the four songwriters performed several of their hits for the crowd.
