Hargis Upped To SVP At BMLG
Big Machine Label Group has elevated VP of Promotion Matthew Hargis to the far more awesome position of Sr. VP of Promotion for BMLG Records. In making the announcement, Jimmy Harnen, who doubles as BMLG Records President and BMLG EVP commented, “Matthew has done outstanding work during his entire tenure at BMLG Records, garnering 21 No. 1 singles! His leadership, dedication and forward thinking is second to none and this well deserved promotion is reflective of six amazing years!”
Since joining the label in 2011, Hargis has been a driving force behind such chart-topping singles as Florida Georgia Line‘s breakthrough debut, “Cruise,” which is the only Country song to be certified Diamond by the RIAA. His previous industry stops include All Access and Capitol Records Nashville. Now sporting his sweet new stripes, Hargis will continue to spearhead radio promotion efforts for BMLG Records’ current singles — “God, Your Mama, And Me” by Florida Georgia Line feat. Backstreet Boys, “In Case You Didn’t Know” by Brett Young, “Makin’ Me Look Again” by Drake White and “Preachin’ to the Choir” from A Thousand Horses.
Hargis commented, “I want to thank Scott Borchetta and Jimmy Harnen for the opportunity to grow as part of this amazing team. As leaders, the environment they have built at BMLG Records is one that not only inspires, but also encourages new innovative ways of building artists’ careers. I am blessed to have such a great team of promotion executives at the BMLG Records ‘Ape Den’ to proudly work side-by-side with every day!” Hargis can be contacted at 615-324-7902 or matthew.hargis@bmlg.net.
