August 21, 2023/by Caela Griffin

Ashley Gorley, Taylor Swift, Tracy Chapman

The songwriters filling the top 10 on the MusicRow Top Songwriter Chart are led once again by Ashley Gorley.

With writing credits on ten tracks, including songs by Morgan Wallen, Parmalee, Dan + Shay and more, Gorley notches his second consecutive week atop the chart on this run.

Taylor Swift takes the No. 2 spot with six songs from her Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) album contributing to her ranking. Following at No. 3, Tracy Chapman cinches another week among the industry’s top songwriters with her solely written “Fast Car.”

Jordan Schmidt holds this week’s No. 4 slot ahead of Ryan Vojtesak at No. 5.  Chase McGill, John Byron, Jason DeFord, Jessi Alexander and Julian Bunetta hold the remaining top 10 spots for another 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.
