NASHVILLE, TN (February 12, 2026) – BMI celebrated Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment artist Riley Green yesterday (2/11) in its Nashville lobby for the milestone success behind his most recent back-to-back No. One hits, “Worst Way” and “Don’t Mind If I Do.” Both chart toppers serve as two of the five solely written standouts off his latest album, Don’t Mind If I Do (Deluxe). The 3x-Platinum hit “Worst Way” is Green’s sixth career No. One and made him the first Country artist since Taylor Swift to land back-to-back solo-written No. One singles on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.
The afternoon was hosted by BMI’s Clay Bradley, as Green received commemorative plaques from Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment. NHRE’s Scott Borchetta, Jimmy Harnen and Ryan Dokke presented Green with No. One plaques for “Don’t Mind If I Do” and “Worst Way,” along with a Gold plaque for “Change My Mind,” his current single and fastest-rising track at Country radio to date. They also announced that “Worst Way” is now certified 3X-Platinum by the RIAA.
Sponsored by Studio Bank, the evening included a donation presentation made by Kari Barnhart on behalf of Green in support of The Buford Bonds Charitable Fund.

ABOUT RILEY GREEN:
CMA and ACM Award winner, Riley Green has been compelling Country music fans to raise a drink, shed a tear, and, above all, celebrate where they are from, since first releasing his self-titled EP in 2018. His songs like the No. 1 2X-PLATINUM hit “There Was This Girl,” the 3X-PLATINUM-certified heart-tugger “I Wish Grandpas Never Died,” and his chart-topping collab with Thomas Rhett, “Half Of Me,” have made Riley synonymous with what Country Music does best: making listeners feel something with his no-gimmick, relatable writing and classic feel. An avid sports fan, former athlete (Jacksonville State University quarterback) and outdoorsman, Riley is riding a wave of success after receiving four Academy of Country Music awards, being previously named a MusicRow Breakout Artist of the Year, a CMT “Listen Up Artist,” and one of CRS’s 2020 New Faces. Combs joined Riley on his PLATINUM No. 1 single “Different ‘Round Here (Ft. Luke Combs),” the title track to Riley’s 2019 debut album that he re-recorded with Combs after seeing how fans connected to it. The singer-songwriter’s third studio album, Don’t Mind If I Do, produced by Dann Huff, arrived on his birthday, October 18, via Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment, with more of the signature Riley Green fans have come to know and love from the good ol’ boy who still lives in his hometown of Jacksonville, AL. Most recently, Green released the deluxe version, Don’t Mind If I Do (Deluxe), which includes six brand new tracks. Currently on an incredible hot streak, Green’s well-earned confidence in his work shines through across the 18-track set with five of the tracks being solely written including standouts “Jesus Saves,” the 3X-PLATINUM “Worst Way” and the title track—which finds Green reuniting with his “you look like you love me” duet partner.
