The three PROs jointly sponsored the party.<\/p>\n<p>While waiting for the formalities to start \u2014 and, in truth, throughout the ceremonies \u2014 guests grazed along two large food tables, sampling from steam trays piled high with Buffalo shrimp, pulled pork potato skins, smoked wings and candied bacon.<\/p>\n<p>A line of hardworking bartenders ensured that no one would die of thirst while waiting for a favorite beer, soft drink or cocktail.<\/p>\n<p>BMI\u2019s MaryAnn Keen served as mistress of ceremonies, calling various music industry figures to the stage to praise the songwriters for their song as well as Lynch\u2019s performance of it.<\/p>\n<p>Keen announced that while \u201cGood Girl\u201d was Lynch\u2019s sixth No. 1 as a recording artist, it was his first as a songwriter. \u201cHe\u2019s historically been very supportive of the writer community,\u201d she said, noting that he often elected to record other writers\u2019 songs over his own. Lynch will tour this summer with Thomas Rhett and has just released a new EP, <em>Ridin\u2019 Roads<\/em>. As it does for all its first-time No. 1 songwriters, BMI, via Keen, presented Lynch with a Taylor guitar.<\/p>\n<p>ASCAP\u2019s Beth Brinker came forward to honor Albert. She said that although \u201cGood Girl\u201d is his first No. 1, he\u2019s already enjoyed success as co-writer of Blake Shelton\u2019s \u201cShe\u2019s Got a Way With Words,\u201d which made it into the Top 10. Early after he moved to Nashville in 2011, Brinker said, he and Dan Smyers \u2014 later of Dan + Shay \u2014 played in a band together.<\/p>\n<p>Shannan Hatch, speaking for SESAC, lauded Ebach for writing songs in different genres. He was SESAC\u2019s songwriter of the year in 2017. \u201cGood Girl\u201d is his third No. 1.<\/p>\n<p>Jon Loba, executive vice president of Broken Bow Records, Lynch\u2019s label, congratulated the label\u2019s promotion team for waging an uphill battle to get \u201cGood Girl\u201d to the top of the charts. \u201cThis one they had to fight for,\u201d he said, \u201cbut they brought it home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI almost gave up on \u2018Good Girl\u2019 last summer,\u201d Lynch said. \u201cIt was not getting the love we thought it deserved. Then the fans heard it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lynch proceeded to thank by name many of those who believed in the hit potential of \u201cGood Girl.\u201d Then, as he neared the end of his list, he added, \u201cIf I missed anyone today [it\u2019s because] I have to pee rather bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\">Edward Morris is a veteran of country music journalism.
