BMI songwriting legend Paul Overstreet and Warner Bros. artist
Blake Shelton celebrated a return to the top of the country charts during a palm tree-filled party (2/22) at BMI Nashville for their hit "Some Beach." Also saluted for their contributions to the song's success were producer Bobby Braddock, Overstreet's publishing company Scarlet Moon Music, and "Some Beach" co-writer Rory Feek. "Some Beach," the lead-off single from Blake Shelton's
Barn & Grill, is Shelton's third #1, following "Austin" and "The Baby."
