Ashley Gorley scored his 50th No. 1 single as a songwriter as Locashâs âOne Big Country Songâ ascended to the top of the Mediabase chart this week.
Ashley is the first songwriterâin any genreâto tally 50 No. 1 singles on the Billboard Country Airplay chart or Mediabase chart. Remarkably, Ashley, 43, achieved the feat in less than 15 years by writing such hits as Carrie Underwoodâs âDonât Forget to Remember Me,â Luke Bryanâs âThatâs My Kind of Night,â Cole Swindellâs âYou Should Be Here,â Thomas Rhettâs âT-Shirt,â Blake Sheltonâs âA Guy With a Girlâ and many more.
âI love what I do,â says Ashley. âI love writing songsâthe challenge, the process, and the way that each day brings something different. Fifty number ones is an achievement Iâm proud of and grateful for, but Iâm even more grateful for the friendships these fifth number ones have granted meâfriendships with the artists that have given these songs life and success, my co-writers who motivate me to dig deeper each day, and mentors and early believers who continue to cheer me on. I stay inspired by my Tape Room family who I try to provide with those same beliefs, friendships, and mentorships. Thank you to everyone who made this possible, especially the radio teams who work tirelessly for these songs to be heard.â
