BMI’S TUCKER WETMORE CELEBRATES THIRD CONSECUTIVE CHART TOPPER “BRUNETTE” WITH NO. ONE PARTY

BMI gathered Nashville’s music community together to celebrate the third consecutive No. One “Brunette” from Back Blocks Music/MCA/Mercury Records hitmaker Tucker Wetmore yesterday (8/11). The RIAA GOLD-certified track written by Chase McGill (BMI), Josh Miller (BMI), Blake Pendergrass (BMI) and producer Chris LaCorte (GMR), marks the third chart-topper from Wetmore’s debut album, What Not To. The chart topper lends its name to his first-ever headlining run, The Brunette World Tour, which is currently underway.

Hosted by BMI and emceed by BMI’s Leslie Roberts, the ACM New Male Artist of the Year was reunited with his collaborators to share remarks about the song’s success. “Brunette” is McGill’s 18th No. One, Miller’s 9th No. One, Pendergrass’s 7th No. One and LaCorte’s 6th No. One as a songwriter.

Sponsored by Studio Bank, Kari Barnhart made a special donation presentation on behalf of Wetmore and the songwriters in support of Face The Fight, an organization focused on preventing veteran suicide and providing essential support to those in need. The official whiskey of BMI No. One parties, Green River Whiskey, gifted each collaborator with a special bottle of single barrel bourbon in honor of their hit.

ABOUT TUCKER WETMORE:
An ACM Award-winning singer-songwriter and headline performer who has already surpassed 2.7 billion career streams, chart-topper Tucker Wetmore has taken just a few years to leave a lasting mark. Raised in Kalama, Washington, the piano-playing student of country, rock, reggae and more wrote his first song after a college football injury, reaching Nashville in 2020. Kicking off his career with Platinum “Wine Into Whiskey” and 2x Platinum debut No. 1 “Wind Up Missin’ You,” Wetmore landed on Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 in 2024 with both tracks, showcasing a serene, sawtoothed-country buzz. He released his debut album, What Not To, to wide acclaim in 2025, wrapping hard-won life lessons in laid-back singalongs and soul-scouring balladry. The project marked the year’s biggest country album debut from a new artist. Out now, his six-song Sunburn Mixtape turns up the heat with sun-dappled grooves, polished hooks and a sleek rhythmic pulse, expanding the sound of a hitmaker firmly in his stride. After earning his first two Mediabase Country No. 1s with “Wind Up Missin’ You” and “3,2,1,” Wetmore became the 14th artist in chart history to take his first two singles to No. 1 in the same calendar year. He then went three-for-three with “Brunette” before sending his latest single, “Who Told You That,” to Country radio. Already a veteran of major tours alongside Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Jason Aldean, Jordan Davis and more, Wetmore launched The Brunette World Tour in 2026 with dates across the U.S., U.K. and Europe. Named ACM New Male Artist of the Year, a Billboard Country Rising Star and a CMA New Artist of the Year nominee, he continues to build on a breakout run defined by three consecutive No. 1s and sold-out headline dates.
