Data Insight
Morgan Wallen's debut leans heavily on Nashville's professional songwriting circles, with Michael Hardy, Craig Wiseman, Ben Hayslip, and Chase McGill among the recurring credited writers. Wallen co-wrote several cuts, including the title track, 'Had Me by Halftime,' 'Gone Girl,' and 'Chasin' You,' but the two biggest hits show outside pens: 'Whiskey Glasses' came from Ben Burgess and Kevin Kadish, and 'Up Down' (featuring Florida Georgia Line) from Brad Clawson, Hardy, and CJ Solar. Joey Moi produced the record, shaping the radio-ready sound that took 'Whiskey Glasses' to No. 1 on Hot Country Songs.
