Broken Bow Records was the No. 1 airplay label for country music in 2022, according to Country Aircheck/Mediabase.

The label’s success was powered by hit songs from Jason Aldean, Dustin Lynch, Lainey Wilson, Chase Rice, Craig Morgan, Everette and Tyler Farr. With Aldean’s “If I Didn’t Love You” and “Trouble With A Heartbreak,” and Lynch’s “Thinking ‘Bout You (feat. MacKenzie Porter),” Broken Bow Records ended the year with 3 of the Top 10 songs of 2022.

“I could not be more proud of this roster and this team. Lee Adams and Shelley Hargis, the entire Broken Bow promotion staff, Renee Leymon and syndicated radio team are the best at what they do, and this could not be more deserved,” shares SVP/Promotion BBR Music Group, Carson James. “Broken Bow had 3 of the Top 10 songs, and if you include Parmalee’s ‘Take My Name’ on Stoney Creek Records, BBR Music Group had 3 of the Top Four songs! Just an unbelievable year for our artists and team.”

Aldean celebrated his 27th No. 1 song this year, along with winning the ACM Single of the Year, iHeartRadio Country Song of the Year, CMT Collaborative Video of the Year and Billboard and Grammy nominations for his single “If I Didn’t Love You” with Carrie Underwood.

Lynch’s “Thinking ‘Bout You” garnered more listens than any other song on the country chart and aided in the securing of his first American Music Awards nomination.

Wilson was all over the map this year, with wins at the 2022 CMA Awards for Female Vocalist of the Year and New Artist of the Year. She also claimed ACM New Female Artist of the Year and ACM Song of the Year, as well as the iHeartRadio Award for Best New Country Artist and CMT’s 2022 Breakout Artist of the Year honor.

Rice, who has garnered more than 2.3 million albums sold and over 2.3 billion on-demand career streams to date, is set to release I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell on Feb. 10, 2023. Morgan released a deluxe edition of his God, Family, Country album this year, containing his country radio single, “How You Make A Man.”
