Since 2018, MusicRow has published its weekly Top Songwriter Chart that ranks the week’s top 60 songwriters based on song activity according to airplay, digital download track sales and streams.

”Through the use of proprietary software, the points awarded to each song are evenly distributed among a song’s co-writers, mirroring the revenue and ownership structures common in Music City’s publishing industry. This system highlights the overall success of active songs for each songwriter. As a result, the MusicRow Top Songwriter Chart provides a list of the most active and successful songwriters in Nashville.”
