Anthem Entertainment Acquires Country Catalog From Combustion Music

July 12, 2021/by LB Cantrell

Anthem Entertainment has acquired the Combustion Music catalog, including some of the genre’s biggest hits from Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt, Florida Georgia Line, and many more. Anthem will also administer Combustion’s active songwriter roster, which includes songwriters Brett Tyler, Jameson Rodgers, Faren Rachels, Matt Jenkins, Leanna Crawford, and Matthew West, among others.

Combustion’s catalog features songs written by top songwriters including Ashley Gorley, Jenkins, AJ Pruis, Rodgers, Zach Crowell, Jerry Flowers, West, and more. Among those are 38-charting topping singles that reached No. 1 on Billboard’s US Country Airplay chart, including the 8x-Platinum hit single “Body Like a Back Road” by Sam Hunt, “Heartbeat” by Carrie Underwood, “Setting the World On Fire” by Kenny Chesney featuring Pink, “Fix a Drink” by Chris Janson, and “Song for Another Time” by Old Dominion.

“This has been a crazy year for us all, but having a company as strong and significant as Anthem believe in Combustion this much, means an awful lot,” says Chris Farren, Founder of Combustion. “We couldn’t be happier to be working with their team together going forward, and know the next phase of Combustion will be better for it.”

“Chris is an incredibly talented creative and an amazing entrepreneur, as well as a hit producer and songwriter, with over 100 top ten hits in his career to date,” says Helen Murphy, CEO of Anthem Entertainment. “He understands and feels the creative process in a way that inspires his talent to greatness. We are proud to be in business with him and welcome the Combustion team to the Anthem.”
