Tape Room Music Puts A Dozen+ Singles On The Charts At Once

Published On: August 12, 2025

Building on its reputation for country-chart dominance, Tape Room Music continues to make waves this summer. The Nashville-based independent publisher celebrates back-to-back No. 1s, while more than a dozen of its songs climb the charts – simultaneously.

Founded by record-setting songwriter Ashley Gorley in 2011, Tape Room Music has celebrated over 50 No. 1s and counting. Its current tag-team of hits from Gorley and roster writers include this week’s No. 1 on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart, Nate Smith’s “Fix What You Didn’t Break,” and last week’s No. 1, Tyler Hubbard’s “Park.”

“Fix What You Didn’t Break” was written by Smith, Gorley, Taylor Phillips and Lindsay Rimes. It marks Taylor Phillips’ 10th career chart topper, and fourth No. 1 in the last 12 months, joining Jelly Roll’s “I Am Not Okay” and “Liar” and Dylan Scott’s “This Town’s Been Too Good To Us.” Phillips is the fourth Tape Room writer to achieve the feat along with Ben Johnson, Hunter Phelps and Zach Crowell. “Fix What You Didn’t Break” marks the sixth No. 1 shared between Phillips and Gorley.

“Park” was written by Hubbard with Jesse Frasure, Gorley and Canaan Smith.

Meanwhile, 15 songs penned by Gorley and Tape Room writers are currently on airplay charts, including:

Nate Smith’s “Fix What You Didn’t Break” (co-written by Ashley Gorley, Taylor Phillips)

Past the charts, Tape Room writers across the roster have kept busy this summer. Ben Johnson, who co-wrote BigXthePlug and Bailey Zimmerman’s summer smash “All The Way,” is featured in Netflix’s brand new Hitmakers, which follows hit songwriters across genres writing for top artists. Wyatt McCubbin joined shows on Riley Green’s Damn Country Music tour alongside Green, Ella Langley and Vincent Mason. McCubbin was featured on Chase Rice’s “Two Tone Trippin’,” the lead release from the singer’s upcoming album that includes many songs co-written by McCubbin. Tape Room writers and producers have kept busy working on exciting new projects and collaborations to come. Earlier this summer, Gorley, Phillips, Ben Johnson and Hunter Phelps received CMA Triple Play Awards.

In related news, Gorley was inducted into the National Songwriters Hall of Fame in June, yet the Grammy, CMA and ACM Award winner is not slowing down.
