Kane Brown Breaks Into Top Five, Kevin Welch Reigns On MusicRow Top Songwriter Chart

MusicRow Top Songwriter Chart

Kane Brown sure had a lot to be thankful for last week at his Thanksgiving dinner. As a songwriter, Brown rose 17 spots this week to No. 3 on the MusicRow Top Songwriter Chart, boosted by five of his co-written songs, “Lose It,” “Homesick,” “Good As You,” “Weekend,” and “Baby Come Back To Me.” Some of these songs also helped fuel the ascent of Chase McGill to No. 4 and Will Weatherly to No. 7.

As an artist, Brown’s album Experiment debuted at the top of the Billboard Top Country Albums chart as well as the Top 200, making him the first male country artist in 24 years to do so with a sophomore release. Brown also dethroned Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line’s “Meant To Be,” the record-breaking, 50-week No. 1, with his “Lose It” on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

SESAC’s Kevin Welch enjoys his fourth week atop the MusicRow chart with Laura Veltz still on his heels.

The weekly MusicRow Top Songwriter Chart, published every week, uses algorithms based upon song activity according to airplay, digital downloaded track sales and streams. This unique and exclusive recent addition to the MusicRow portfolio is the only songwriter chart of its kind.
