Has Any Taxi Member Ever Had a Tune Hit the Pop Top 40?

I've been reading posts and trying to gleen as much information as I can. I see a lot of publishing deals, libraries, broadcast deals/placements, etc. but I haven't found anyone that has written a tune that was picked up by a Pop artist that charted.

I'm not saying it hasn't. I would just be very interested in hearing from anyone that has and pick their brain!

I know Adam Watts and Andy Dodd wrote some tunes that were recorded by Jesse McCartney (not really my genre) as well as some other pop and christian artists. I don't know if there were any Top 40 hits per se, but they both bought nice houses!

He, he Thanks. I'll look them up to see if they have anything to share.

if your ambitions are to write chart topping hits, taxi may not be for you. but then again, if you DO have that killer song the listing is looking for, and it really gets listened to (which i assume it will, why would they otherwise run the listing), and the artist requesting it kicks on it, you might be the first taxi member with a top 40 hit (to my knowledge anyway). nothing would please the boss more i'm sure

Yes, "Buy Me A Rose". Number 1 for Kenny Rogers and also for Billy Dean and Alison Krauss.
