‘Love Is’ More Than 2 Million Strong

The BMI Los Angeles office presented BMI songwriter Michael Caruso (seated) with a Million-Air certificate for achieving over two million airplays for his hit song, "Love Is," recorded by Vanessa Williams. Based on an average length of three minutes, two million airplays is the equivalent of 100,000 hours or 11.4 years of continuous airplay.

Congratulating Caruso are BMI's Claudia Billen and Barbara Cane.

BMI represents more than 500,000 songwriters, composers, and publishers with more than 7.5 million works.
