MATTHEW HARGIS has been elevated to SVP/Promotion & Marketing at BMLG RECORDS, effective immediately. Following stints at CAPITOL RECORDS NASHVILLE and ALL ACCESS MUSIC GROUP, HARGIS joined then-REPUBLIC NASHVILLE in 2011 as Dir./Nat'l. Promotion and rose to the VP/Promotion role in 2012. He was promoted to SVP in 2017 (NET NEWS 3/15/17).
BMLG RECORDS Pres./CEO JIMMY HARNEN called HARGIS' promotion “a reflection of his outstanding leadership and performance over the last 10 years. He has driven a total of 34 #1 singles, averaging 3.4 a year, with 29 of those coming from brand new artists.” Those #1 hits have included FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE’S “Cruise,” LADY A’s “What If I Never Get Over You,” BRETT YOUNG’s six consecutive #1 hits and RILEY GREEN’s debut single, “There Was This Girl.”
“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. “The past 10 years have been filled with irreplaceable memories and milestones. 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!”
Parent company BIG MACHINE LABEL GROUP has also promoted MITCH BEARD and MEGAN BRAGG to Senior Accountant roles, while CAROLYN SZYMANSKI joins the team as Accounting Coord.
