The National Music Publishers’ Association (NMPA) Gold & Platinum Program has named Ashley Gorley as the top non-performing songwriter for the first quarter of 2024.

During the first three months of the year, 1,161 Gold, Platinum and multi-Platinum certifications were awarded. Gorley scored eight certifications for songs such as seven-time Platinum “Last Night,” five-time Platinum “Crash My Party” and double-Platinum “Aw Naw.”

“I’m deeply grateful to be recognized by the NMPA,” shares the Sony Music Publishing hitmaker. “I’m especially thankful for their ongoing advocacy for songwriters and publishers, ensuring that our voices and contributions are always celebrated and protected.”

Additionally, fellow Sony Music Publishing writer Usher was recognized as the top artist-songwriter with 20 certifications, including five-time Platinum “U Got It Bad,” quadruple-Platinum “I Don’t Mind” and triple-Platinum “Confessions Part II.”

“Q1 was huge for Sony Music Publishing. Usher’s hits have lasting power, and this proves the enduring popularity of his music. Once again, Ashley Gorley reigns supreme due to his phenomenal country crossover success,” says David Israelite, NMPA President & CEO. “We congratulate both of these exceptional songwriters.”
