Urban Finds ‘Better Life’ at the Top of the Charts

Celebrating his seventh #1 song with the hit "Better Life," BMI songwriter Keith Urban was the guest of honor at a recent party held at Sambuca Restaurant in Nashville. The single, from his triple platinum release Be Here, spent more than 20 weeks on Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

Pictured at Sambuca Restaurant are (l-r) BMI songwriter Keith Urban, "Better Life" co-writer Richard Marx, BMI's Harry Warner, producer Dann Huff and Capitol Nashville's Fletcher Foster.

The BMI Award-winning country star's other chart-toppers include "Somebody Like You", "Days Go By", "But for the Grace of God" and "Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me?".
