SMP CROWNED BMI POP PUBLISHER OF THE YEAR
5/11/23

Sony Music Publishing was named BMI Pop Publisher of the Year for a sixth consecutive year at BMI's 71st annual Pop Awards Tuesday (5/9) at the Beverly Wilshire.

SMP is responsible for 25 of the past year’s most-performed pop songs in the U.S., including “Glimpse of Us" by Joji, “Numb" by Marshmello and Khalid, "Get Into It (Yuh)" by Doja Cat and 2023 Rock Hall inductee Kate Bush's “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)," the 1985 Hounds of Love single brought back to life by the Netflix series Stranger Things. “Stay” by The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber was named Pop Song of the Year.

"Congratulations to all Sony Music Publishing songwriter winners," said SMP EVP/Head of A&R Walter Jones. "Your creative brilliance continues to inspire us all. I’d also like to thank our incredible team for their dedication to SMP’s songwriters."

SMP songwriter honorees also include Bush, Ricky Reed, Latto, Rick Ross, Lil Nas X, Polo G, Joel Castillo, Dove Cameron, Ed Sheeran, Johnny McDaid, Sarah Aarons, Sammy Witte, Sheldon Yu-Ting Cheung, Y2K, Tate McRae, Kevin Jonas and David Stewart.
