Max T. Barnes Receives Multiple BMI Million-Air Awards

Max T. Barnes was recently presented with four Million-Air Awards from BMI, including one for his late father, Max D. Barnes, whose “Chiseled In Stone” reached one million broadcasts.

Max T. Barnes’ “A Night To Remember” and “How Your Love Makes Me Feel” have both received two million radio spins, while “Love, Me,” recorded by Collin Raye, has garnered four million radio plays.

The Million-Air Awards are given to songwriters, composers and publishers whose songs accumulate more than one million U.S. broadcast performances.

“This is a big surprise and an honor,” Barnes said. “I find it hard to imagine ‘Love, Me’ has been played four million times but I am very grateful. I know my dad received over a dozen of these but I know he would be thrilled, too!”
