Songwriters David Lee and Chris DuBois and Mercury artist Mark Wills had lots of celebrating to do during a party at the BMG Chapel for their #1 hit "19 Somethin'" -- six weeks worth, in fact, since the the nostalgia-themed tune has been on top of Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks for six consecutive weeks. Included on Wills' Greatest Hits album, "19 Somethin'" was produced by Chris Lindsey and published by Careers-BMG Music Publishing.

BMI's David Preston presented engraved #1 cups to Lee, Wills, Lindsey, Careers-BMG's Karen Conrad and Mercury's Luke Lewis. Reception highlights included a special message from legendary Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach, who is mentioned in the song, and autographed footballs he sent to Wills, Lee and DuBois.
"19 Somethin" is Lee's first #1 single. He previously earned a BMI Country Award for the Lee Ann Womack hit "Now You See Me, Now You Don't."
