Tucker Wetmore filled the BMI lobby on Tuesday (Feb. 24) to celebrate his second chart-topper, “3, 2, 1.”

Penned by Josh Miller, Summer Overstreet and Jordan Reynolds and produced by Chris LaCorte, the track earned Wetmore a spot as the 14th artist in chart history to land his first two singles at No. 1 within the same calendar year.

The track marked Overstreet’s first No. 1, Miller’s seventh and Reynolds’ eighth. In celebration of the occasion, Gina Venier presented Overstreet with a custom Taylor 210e DLX guitar.

Hosted by BMI and ASCAP and emceed by BMI’s Leslie Roberts, the event featured MCA’s Jimmy Rector and Damon Moberly, ASCAP’s Duane Hobson, Concord’s Matt Turner, and Warner Chappell’s BJ Hill and Jessi Vaughn Stevenson taking turns honoring the songwriters.

Each artist expressed heartfelt thanks to the teams behind the song. Many specifically highlighted the pivotal role of Concord’s Courtney Allen, who originally pitched the track, and also gave special mention to Jake Gear, while praising Wetmore for his openness to recording an outside cut.

Sponsored by Studio Bank, Ron Cox made a special donation presentation on behalf of Wetmore and the songwriters in support of Face the Fight.

Each writer took the microphone to express gratitude for the opportunity to make a living through songwriting and shared how deeply they believe in and value their co-writers.

Wetmore wrapped up the night by thanking each of his teams for their ongoing support and the writers for trusting him with their song.

“I think today is a testament that the best song wins. I was not a part of writing this song, but I remember when I first heard the demo, I had to have it. This town is scary. We all moved here with songs in mind, a dream, and a goal in our head and hearts. Everyone in this room believes in me, and that is one of the most humbling [things] and makes my heart happy.”
