• Big Machine Label Group has elevated Matthew Hargis to Senior Vice President, Promotion and Marketing for BMLG Records. Hargis will continue spearheading radio promotion efforts for BMLG Records’ current singles, “Long Live” (Florida Georgia Line), “Champagne Night” (Lady A), “Lady” (Brett Young), and “If It Wasn’t For Trucks” (Riley Green).
BMLG Records President & CEO Jimmy Harnen said, “Promoting Matthew Hargis to SVP, Promotion and Marketing is a reflection of his outstanding leadership and performance over the last 10 years. He has driven a total of 34 No.1 singles, averaging 3.4 a year, with 29 of those coming from brand new artists.”
“First and foremost, I want to thank Scott Borchetta and Jimmy Harnen for continuing to believe in my being a part of such an amazing team and company,” said Hargis, who joined BMLG in 2011, following stints with All Access and Capitol Records Nashville. “The past 10 years have been filled with irreplaceable memories and milestones, and I know the next 10 will have even more. This year has shown me that being aligned with people who share the same passion and vision for music and what we do is where success will continue to be. Thank you to all of the artists and my BMLG team for your drive and tireless efforts as we continue to write pages in the history books!”
