Anthem Entertainment has extended its publishing deal with multi-Platinum artist and songwriter Chris Janson, continuing the relationship the two started in 2016.

Janson just released his first album since signing with Big Machine Label Group, The Outlaw Side of Me. The project includes current single “All I Need Is You,” which is nearing the top 20 on the charts, and focus track “21 Forever,” which features Dolly Parton and Slash.

Janson’s first hit came in 2015, with the extremely popular track “Buy Me a Boat,” which peaked at No. 3 on the Country Airplay Chart and No. 1 on Mediabase, and has gone four-time Platinum since its release. Other songs that have recently earned Platinum certifications include “Good Vibes,” “Drunk Girl” and “Fix a Drink.” Janson has also celebrated two more No. 1 hits with “Good Vibes” and other 2019 single “Done,” with both songs also achieving RIAA Gold status.

“We are excited to continue and expand our co-publishing venture with Chris Janson,” says Gilles Godard, President of Anthem Music Publishing Nashville. “He is truly an amazing and innovative writer, who knows how to reach his audience by keeping it real and telling the truth with every lyric and every melody. We look forward to celebrating many more hits together!”

“Chris Janson is the real deal, period,” adds Noah Dewey, VP of Creative for Anthem Music Publishing Nashville. “He’s the quintessential country artist and one of the best entertainers in the business. It’s a privilege to work with him and his wife Kelly, on our continuing partnership at Anthem Entertainment.”
