March 19, 2009 Keith Urban inspects his new BMI signature Takamine guitar, presented in recognition of “Sweet Thing,” the tenth chart-topper of his career. Urban’s “Somebody Like You” has now generated more than 3 million performances, prompting BMI’s Jody Williams to note the song has officially joined elite ranks that include Hank Williams’ “Your Cheatin’ Heart,” Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings’ “Good Hearted Woman,” the Beatles’ “Can’t Buy Me Love,” and Janis Joplin’s “Me and Bobby McGee,” written by Kris Kristofferson.
