BMI Artist Scotty McCreery Celebrates Milestones at “Cab In A Solo” No. One Party

BMI celebrated the success behind Triple Tigers Records’ Scotty McCreery’s sixth No. One single “Cab In A Solo” on Wednesday, July 31. Joined by co-writer Brent Anderson, co-writer and producer Frank Rogers, and producers Aaron Eshuis and Derek Wells, the Nashville music community gathered in the lobby of BMI’s Nashville office to honor the song.

Hosted by BMI and ASCAP and emceed by BMI’s MaryAnn Keen, the recent Grand Ole Opry inductee took the stage with the songwriters to share remarks and discuss the song’s creation. Sponsored by Studio Bank, Kari Barnhart made a special donation presentation on behalf of the writers in support of the Opry Trust Fund, whose mission is to help those in the country music industry when they need it the most by offering financial assistance.

The afternoon concluded when Keen surprised McCreery with seven BMI Million-Air Awards, certificates given to songwriters whose works have achieved the rare feat of surpassing one million broadcast performances on U.S. radio. McCreery’s hits have garnered over 11 million cumulative performances from the BMI award-winning songs “This Is It” (3 million), “In Between” (2 million), “See You Tonight” (2 million), and “You Time” (1 million). Other songs awarded were the triple-Platinum “Five More Minutes” (2 million) and the 2024 CMT Digital-First Performance award-winning song “It Matters To Her” (1 million).
