Tape Room Music Marks 50th No. 1 With Hunter Phelps’ ‘Chevrolet’
Tape Room Music has celebrated its 50th No. 1 hit with “Chevrolet,” which topped the charts at country radio and was co-written by the company’s Hunter Phelps.
Phelps signed with Tape Room Music in 2014, and “Chevrolet” marks his 11th No. 1 single, following recent hits with Nate Smith’s “Bulletproof” and Kenny Chesney’s “Take Her Home.” The company’s 50 No. 1 singles are in addition to founder Ashley Gorley’s over 75 chart-topping tracks.
“Getting a No. 1 song is an absolute miracle,” shares Tape Room Music President Blain Rhodes. “So to be celebrating 50 of them is surreal and speaks to the endless talent and work ethic of our amazing roster. We are so thankful for our publishing and label partners, and especially our friends at country radio.”
Tape Room writers have been awarded and nominated for Grammys, ACM, CMA and MusicRow Awards. Among the company’s additional No. 1s are hits like “Buy Dirt” (Matt Jenkins), “House Party” and “Body Like A Back Road” (Zach Crowell), “Do I Make You Wanna” (Jerry Flowers, Jenkins, Crowell) and “Wait In The Truck” (Phelps).
The Tape Room writers roster includes Crowell, Phelps, Will Weatherly, Brad Clawson, Ben Johnson, Jordan Rowe, Taylor Phillips, Wyatt McCubbin, Savana Santos, Beau Bailey, Casey Brown, Andy Sheridan, Ned Cameron and Ben Williams.
