On Wednesday, June 17, BMI brought the music industry together for its first-ever No. One party at BMI Atlanta’s new office location, celebrating three chart-topping songwriters and the hits that helped define their milestone moment. The event honored A.Chic and Derrick Milano, the songwriters behind the BTS hit “Swim,” along with Akil ‘Worldwidefresh’ King, who penned “Ever Since U Left Me” for French Montana and Max B.

The celebration marked an exciting moment for the Atlanta creative community, shining a spotlight on rising hitmakers earning their first No. One honors. During the party, Shure gifted each creative with a commemorative #1 Songwriter microphone in recognition of their chart-topping success.

Sponsored by Patrón and Shure, the evening brought together creators, industry executives and tastemakers to toast the honorees and celebrate a new chapter for BMI Atlanta.
