Eric Church Moves Up On MusicRow Top Songwriter Chart

Eric Church moves closer to the top spot on the MusicRow Top Songwriter Chart, taking the No. 2 spot this week.

Church’s journey with his soulful track “Heart On Fire” exemplifies the power of a solo write on the MusicRow chart. Because he is the only writer on “Heart On Fire,” all of the points earned from the song’s airplay, digital download track sales, and streams go entirely to Church on the Songwriter Chart.

Shane McAnally remains at No. 1 this week on the MusicRow Top Songwriter Chart for the third week. He has five currently charting songs, including Old Dominion’s “No Hard Feelings,” Kenny Chesney’s “Everyone She Knows,” Walker Hayes’ “AA,” Sam Hunt’s “23,” and Carly Pearce & Ashley McBryde’s “Never Wanted To Be That Girl.”

Ashley Gorley (No. 3), Michael Hardy (No. 4) and Ben Johnson (No. 5) round out the top five this week.

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