Pick a week--any week--on the Billboard Hot 100 charts over the past ten years, and many of the biggest songs will involve at least one member of the Prescription Songs family. Currently as the music industry prepares to enter its busiest period of the year with releases from superstar artists, Prescription Songs rolls into the fourth quarter with songwriters and producers represented in four songs on the Billboard Hot 100 Top Ten (week of Oct 29) including #1 singles “Unholy” by Sam Smith & Kim Petras (Kim Petras) and “Super Freaky Girl” by Nicki Minaj (Dr. Luke, Malibu Babie, Vaughn Oliver, Lunchmoney Lewis, Aaron Joseph), “I Like You (A Happier Song)” by Post Malone featuring Doja Cat (Doja Cat), and “Forever” by Lil Baby & Fridayy (Fridayy).
“Unholy” is a history making moment for both Petras and Smith becoming the first openly nonbinary and transgender artists to top the Billboard 100. With “Super Freaky Girl,” Malibu Babie, Vaughn Oliver, Aaron Joseph and Lunchmoney Lewis garnered their first #1s, with Dr. Luke topping the chart for his 40th turn. Doja Cat needs no introduction as the superstar has reigned in the Top 10 for the last 20 weeks for this track alone, in addition to numerous cuts from her 2021 album Planet Her and her song “Vegas” from the motion picture film Elvis. Fridayy--who has become increasingly popular for creating unique vocal sample loops--signed with Prescription Songs earlier this summer and this cut with Lil Baby lands him his first Billboard Hot 100 standout.
Meanwhile, more heat comes from the company with DallasK. The artist, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter will be represented at the Latin Grammys on November 17 as a nominee in four categories--“Album Of The Year” and “Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album” for Christina Aguilera’s Aguilera, “Best Urban Song of the Year” for Nicky Jam’s “Ojos Rios” and “Best Urban/Fusion Performance” for Christina Aguilera & Ozuna’s “Santo.”
The music publishing powerhouse’s roster of more than 150 writers reads like a who's who of the most popular artists, songwriters and producers in music, past and present, including Emily Warren, KBeaZy, Doja Cat, Vaughn Oliver, Becky G, and Joy Oladokun. Beyond crafting popular chart-topping radio hits, Prescription’s talented artists garner accolades among the industry with numerous GRAMMY Award winners and nominees, multiple recipients of ASCAP and BMI Songwriter of the Year Awards, a winner of the 2020 VMA Push New Artist Award, a Spotify Secret Genius of the Year: Songwriter Award, a Hal David Starlight Award winner, and iHeartRadio Producer of the Year, among them. The company--ranked #6 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Publishing Corporations Year-End Chart (the #1 independent publisher) and named ASCAP Indie Publisher of the Year multiple times (2013, 2014, 2015)--maintains offices in music’s biggest cities, Los Angeles and Nashville, led by a primarily female team with Rhea Pasricha on the West Coast and Katie Fagan in Nashville. Its staff and roster of legendary and rising songwriters and producers are at the forefront of the industry, creating some of the biggest chart-topping hits, including Dua Lipa’s 4x-platinum hit “Don’t Start Now” (Emily Warren), Doja Cat’s 3x-platinum “Say So” (Doja Cat, Tyson Trax), 24kGoldn’s 3x-platinum “Mood (feat iann dior)” (KBeaZy), Saweetie feat. Doja Cat’s 3x-platinum “Best Friend” (Rocco Valdes, Doja Cat, Kaine, A1 LaFlare), and Latto’s platinum “Big Energy” (A1 LaFlare, Vaughn Oliver, Kaine).
Recently the company’s Nashville office was profiled in The Tennessean, whose Marcus K. Dowling noted “is among those piloting the city’s evolution from a country music hub to being a dynamic pop and urban music paradise” with a roster he touted is “as diverse as they are talented.” Elsewhere, Music Row highlighted Prescription’s accomplishments in a multi-page feature spread in their Publisher’s Issue (Oct/Nov 2022); writer Lydia Farthing wrote “Prescription has seen an impressive expansion of their roster…Within their collective of skilled writers, artists and producers, the publishing house has landed cuts for a notable list of artists that span across a wide swath of genres from country, pop, hip-hop, R&B and even K-pop.” She went on to echo the company’s position: “With more and more noise being made outside of the country genre, it’s only a matter of time before all of Nashville’s musical worlds begin to slowly collide, which will make our community all the better.”
