BMI's River House Artists/Warner Records Nashville artist Hudson Westbrook celebrated his first-ever chart topper "House Again" at BMI's Nashville office Wednesday, May 6. Written by Westbrook, Dan Alley (BMI) and Neil Medley (ASCAP) and produced by Lukas Scott and Ryan Youmans, the vulnerable hit stems from the ACM nominee's debut album, Texas Forever. During the celebration, Warner Records Nashville presented Westbrook with a plaque announcing that the single had been RIAA certified 2x PLATINUM.

Hosted by BMI and ASCAP and emceed by BMI's Mitch Ballard, Westbrook, co-writers and producers all shared stories behind crafting the country hit. To commemorate both Westbrook and Alley's first No. One party as BMI songwriters, Ballard gifted each with a custom Taylor 210e DLX guitar. Sponsored by Studio Bank, Ron Cox made a special donation presentation on behalf of Westbrook and the songwriters in support of the Stephenville High School FFA Chapter. The official whiskey sponsor of BMI No. One parties, Green River Whiskey, gifted the "House Again" creatives each with a commemorative bottle of single barrel bourbon in honor of their chart topper.
