‘Amazed’ Stands on Five Million Mountain

During a luncheon hosted by BMI Nashville, "Amazed" songwriters Marv Green, Aimee Mayo and Chris Lindsey were indeed amazed to learn that the song has tallied five million broadcast airplays, vaulting it into the Top 125 of BMI's repertoire of 4.5 million works. Published by Careers-BMG Music Publishing, Golden Wheat Music, Songs of Nashville DreamWorks, Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp., and Mayo's company Silverkiss Music, "Amazed" was named BMI's Country Song of the Year in 2000 courtesy of its crossover smash recording by BNA superstars Lonestar.
