NASHVILLE, Tenn. – BMI recently presented country hitmaker Max T. Barnes with four “Million-Air” Awards, which includes one for his late father, Max D. Barnes’ “Chiseled In Stone,” which reached one million broadcasts. Max’s “A Night To Remember” and “How Your Love Makes Me Feel” have both received two million radio spins, while “Love, Me,” made famous by Collin Raye, has garnered a whopping four million radio plays.
The “Million-Air” Awards are given to songwriters, composers and publishers whose songs accumulate more than one million U.S. broadcast performances.
“This is a big surprise and an honor,” Barnes said. “I find it hard to imagine ‘Love, Me’ has been played four million times but I am very grateful. I know my dad received over a dozen of these but I know he would be thrilled, too!”
