BMI celebrated Chayce Beckham's first #1 hit, "23," on Wednesday (8/28) inside the lobby of BMI Nashville. The track, taken from the American Idol winner’s debut record, Bad for Me (19 Recordings/Wheelhouse Records/BMG), earned him his first nomination at the CMT Awards earlier this year for Breakthrough Male Video.

Hosted by BMI and emceed by BMI’s Leslie Roberts, the event reunited Beckham with "23" producer Ross Copperman, who talked about the song's creation. Roberts then presented Beckham with a custom Taylor 210e DLX guitar, while Studio Banks' Ron Cox gave a special donation presented on behalf of Beckham in support of the American Cancer Society. The afternoon concluded with Wheelhouse Records’ Ken Tucker presenting Beckham with a plaque celebrating the track's platinum certification.
