WARNER/CHAPPELL TAKES THE CAKE (AND THE URBAN CHART)

5/11/17

Following yesterday’s news of Warner/Chappell being named the BMI Music Publisher of the Year, WCM's roster of hip-hop songwriters and producers hold nine of the Top 10 spots on the Mediabase Urban radio chart today. We're sure it doesn't suck to be SVP and Co-Head of A&R Ryan Press (pictured) right now. Champagne's on him...

A list of the aforementioned chart-climbers is here:

-Khalid’s “Location”: co-written by Smash David
-Kendrick Lamar's “Humble”: co-written by Kendrick Lamar and A Plus
-Migos’ “T-Shirt”: co-written by Nard & B
-Gucci Mane’s “Both”: co-written by Gucci Mane and Southside
-DJ Khaled’s “Shining”: co-written by PARTYNEXTDOOR, Jay Z and Beyoncé
-Bruno Mars’ “That’s What I Like”: co-written by Jon Yip and Jeremy Reeves (of The Stereotypes) and Brody Brown
-Migos’ “Bad and Boujee”: co-written by Lil Uzi Vert
-2 Chainz’s “Good Drank”: co-written by Gucci Mane and Mike Dean
-Rae Sremmurd’s “Swang”: co-written by Rae Sremmurd and P Nasty
