BIG JON'S BONANZA:
EIGHT IN THE TOP 10

Warner/Chappell chief Big Jon Platt is celebrating having writers on eight of the Top 10 singles right now: Rihanna's "Work" (#1), Lukas Graham's "7 Years" (#3), twenty one pilots' "Stressed Out" (#4), Flo Rida's "My House" (#5), G-Eazy f/Bebe Rexha's "Me, Myself & I" (#7), Justin Bieber's "Sorry" (#8), DNCE's "Cake by the Ocean" (#9) and Ariana Grande's "Dangerous Woman" (#10).

Big Jon will celebrate this achievement by listening to an anthem penned in his honor while he soaks in the hot tub on Len Blavatnik's jet.

Speaking of songwriting, stay tuned for the next installment of our new feature "Whose Song Is It Anyway?"
