Tape Room Music has hit a significant milestone, celebrating their 50th No. 1 single as ‘Chevrolet' climbs to the top of the Country radio charts. Co-written by Hunter Phelps, this achievement highlights Tape Room's ongoing success in the country music industry. These 50 chart-topping singles are in addition to founder Ashley Gorley’s impressive 75+ No. 1 hits.
“Getting a No. 1 song is an absolute miracle,” says 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.”
Hunter Phelps, who signed with Tape Room Music in 2014, has now penned 11 No. 1 singles, with ‘Chevrolet' being the latest. His recent hits include Nate Smith's ‘Bulletproof' and Kenny Chesney's ‘Take Her Home.' Speaking with The Tennessean, Phelps shares, “I’ve gone to songwriting school every day for 10 years. [Ashley Gorley’s] ability to speak directly to why one idea works better than another, in any songwriting scenario, allows you to eventually develop your own formula for writing No. 1 hits.”
Tape Room’s songwriters have made a mark in the industry, garnering numerous GRAMMY, ACM, CMA, and MusicRow Award nominations and wins. Fans can explore Tape Room’s extensive catalog of over 725 songs and 24 hours-worth of music written by their talented roster.
