Ashley Gorley and Joey Moi continue their unprecedented reigns on Billboard‘s Country Songwriters and Country Producers charts (dated Jan. 22).
Gorley returns to No. 1 on Country Songwriters for a record-extending 23rd week on top, thanks to five songwriting credits on the latest Hot Country Songs chart, including two in the top 10.
Here’s a recap of Gorley’s five Hot Country Songs writing credits on the Jan. 22 chart:
Rank, Artist Billing, Title (co-songwriters in addition to Gorley)
No. 3, Chris Stapleton, “You Should Probably Leave” (Chris Stapleton, Chris DuBois)
No. 8, Morgan Wallen, “Sand in My Boots” (HARDY, Josh Osborne)

The weekly Country Songwriters and Country Producers charts are based on total points accrued by a songwriter and producer, respectively, for each attributed song that appears on the Hot Country Songs chart. As with Billboard‘s yearly recaps, multiple writers or producers split points for each song equally (and the dividing of points will lead to occasional ties on rankings).
The full Country Songwriters and Country Producers charts, in addition to all overall and genre rankings, can be found on Billboard.com.
