Tape Room Music is celebrating another milestone as their co-written song “Bulletproof” has reached No. 1 on the Mediabase Country Airplay chart this week. Written by Tape Room songwriters Hunter Phelps, Ben Johnson and founder Ashley Gorley, the track is the third single the trio has co-written to top the chart. This achievement follows the success of Dylan Scott’s “New Truck” and HARDY’s “TRUCK BED,” which both also reached No. 1.
Blain Rhodes, President of Tape Room Music, expressed his joy at the performance. “Number one songs are always a cause for celebration, but this one is extra special because it was written entirely within the Tape Room family,” Rhodes said. He also praised Nate Smith for his performance of “Bulletproof,” noting how the artist took the song to a new level and continued to captivate the audience on stage.
