Jody Williams, BMI's vice president of writer-publisher relations, opened the proceedings by emphasizing Moore's life-long affinity for country music. "At 3," said Williams, "he was running around the house singing Dwight Yoakam's 'I'm a Honky-Tonk Man.'"

Justin Moore's "Small Town USA" dislodges Jason Aldean's "Big Green Tractor" to become the nation's No. 1 country song while Taylor Swift's Fearless bobs back to the top of Billboard's country albums chart this week.

Ricky Skaggs claims the highest-debuting new album title with Solo: Songs My Dad Loved. It checks in at No. 39. Jimmy Wayne's cover collaboration with Darryl Hall and John Oates of that duo's 1976 hit, "Sara Smile," is the week's top new song, arriving at No. 51.
