Luke Combs Ends Ashley Gorley’s 16-Week Reign On ‘MusicRow’ Top Songwriter Chart

After a 16-week reign, Ashley Gorley has been dethroned from the top spot by Luke Combs who jumps 12 spots to No. 1 on the MusicRow Top Songwriter Chart with an impressive 17 charting songs. 16 of Combs’ credits are co-writes from his new album What You See Is What You Get that released Nov. 8, while one co-writer credit comes from the Carly Pearce and Lee Brice collaboration, “I Hope You’re Happy Now.” Gorley moves down one slot to No. 2.

Ray Fulcher also feels the effects of Combs’ rise, bringing him up 13 slots to No. 4 with eight co-writes on What You See Is What You Get.
