Bryan is the sole credited producer on all 16 songs on the new album (as well as “Dawns,” not on the set). He’s also the only credited songwriter on 14 songs on the LP (as well as “Oklahoma Smoke Show,” likewise not on the album). The only track above on which he is not billed as a producer is “Oklahoma Smoke Show,” which is credited to Eddie Spears.
Bryan is listed as a co-writer on “I Remember Everything” (with Musgraves), “Spotless” (with The Lumineers’ Wesley Keith Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites) and “Dawns” (with Rogers).
Bryan is just the third person to simultaneously top the Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers charts this year, after Taylor Swift (among eight total weeks leading the lists together) and Travis Scott.
Billboard launched the Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers charts, as well as genre-specific rankings for country, rock & alternative, R&B/hip-hop, R&B, rap, Latin, Christian, gospel and dance/electronic, in June 2019, while alternative and hard rock joined in 2020, along with seasonal holiday rankings in 2022. The charts are based on total points accrued by a songwriter and producer, respectively, for each attributed song that appears on the Hot 100. The genre-based songwriter and producer charts follow the same methodology based on corresponding “Hot”-named genre charts. 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).

Additionally, the movie and soundtrack’s “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish ranks at new highs of No. 20 on Alternative Airplay and No. 24 on Pop Airplay.
“The fact that [Barbie director and co-writer] Greta [Gerwig] saw this film almost as a musical, and was so involved with the soundtrack, was an absolutely critical factor in how and why the music [has] worked so well,” Kevin Weaver, Atlantic Records West Coast president and Barbie soundtrack co-producer, recently told Billboard. (Atlantic and Warner Records are co-promoting “Dance the Night” to radio.)
Since its release (through Aug. 31), “Dance the Night” has drawn 667 million in all-format radio audience and 127 million official on-demand streams and sold 56,000 downloads in the U.S., according to Luminate.
