CMA Reveals Triple Play Award Recipients

The Country Music Association has revealed the recipients of the 11th annual CMA Triple Play Awards, an honor presented to songwriters who pen three No. 1 songs within a 12-month period based on the Country Aircheck, Billboard Country Airplay and Billboard Hot Country Songs charts.

In total, 16 songwriters will receive trophies this year: Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Ross Copperman, Justin Ebach, Jesse Frasure, Ashley Gorley, Michael Hardy, Shay Mooney, Jon Nite, Josh Osborne, Bobby Pinson, Matthew Ramsey, Jordan Reynolds, Thomas Rhett, Trevor Rosen and Dan Smyers.

Gorley, who is the most decorated CMA Triple Play Awards recipient, will receive three Triple Play Awards this year for penning nine No. 1 songs over the past year.

Copperman will host a very special CMA Songwriters Series performance, taking place Tuesday, Feb. 25 at Marathon Music Works in Nashville at 7:00 PM (doors 6:00 PM) and also featuring Ebach, Gorley, Nite, Pinson and Reynolds. Tickets range in price from $30 – 50 and go on sale Friday, Jan. 10 at CMAsongwritersseries.com. In celebration of the Triple Play Awards, $3 of each ticket sold will benefit the CMA Foundation, CMA’s philanthropic arm, which is committed to improving and sustaining high-quality music education programs across the country.

The CMA Songwriters Series performance will follow a private industry-only luncheon where recipients will be awarded their trophies on Feb. 25, hosted by Troy Tomlinson, CMA Board member and Chairman/CEO of Universal Music Publishing Group.
