McAnally has won nine No.1 awards on Hot Country Songs as songwriter: Chesney’s “Somewhere With You” (three weeks, 2011) and “Come Over” (two weeks, 2012); “Alone With You” by Jake Owen (two weeks, 2012); Perry’s “Better Dig Two” (two weeks, 2013); Hunt’s “Leave the Night On”, “Take Your Time” and “Body Like a Back Road” (34 weeks, 2017); “Country forever”; and Morgan Wallen’s “7 Summers” (one week, 2020).

Meanwhile, Josh Jenkins marks a third week at No.1 on Country Songwriters, thanks to his work on Jordan Davis’ “Fancy Like” and “Buy Dirt”, with Luke Bryan, at No.9.

The Country Songwriters and Country Producers Weekly Ratings are based on the total points accumulated by a Songwriter and Producer, respectively, for each assigned song that appears on the Hot Country Songs leaderboard. As with Billboard’s annual recaps, multiple writers or producers split the points for each song evenly (and splitting the points will result in occasional ties in the ratings).
