July 20, 2020/by LB Cantrell

HARDY maintains the No. 1 position on the MusicRow Top Songwriter Chart this week, after surpassing Craig Wiseman (No. 5) last week for the pinnacle spot.

Josh Thompson moves up to No. 2, with credit on songs “One Margarita” (Luke Bryan), “Ain’t Always The Cowboy” (Jon Pardi), and “Be A Light” (Thomas Rhett featuring Reba McEntire, Hillary Scott, Chris Tomlin & Keith Urban). Shane McAnally takes the No. 3 spot with credit on “The Other Girl” (Kelsea Ballerini x Halsey), “Hard To Forget” (Sam Hunt), “Nobody But You” (Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani), “One Night Standards” (Ashley McBryde), “Cheatin’ Songs” (Midland), “Champagne Night” (Lady A), and “Some People Do” (Old Dominion).

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