Dave Stewart Song Wins Top BMI Honor In U.K.
The Dave Stewart-penned "Underneath It All" was honored last night in London with the Robert S. Musel Award for song of the year at BMI's annual awards dinner, which recognizes members of European organizations whose repertoire has received extensive U.S. airplay. The track, recorded by No Doubt featuring
Lady Saw, was published by BMG Music Publishing Ltd. (PRS). Stewart was on hand to receive the award.
Gorillaz's hit "19-2000," written by Damon Albarn (PRS) and Jamie Hewlett (PRS), was named college song of the year for the most performances on U.S. college radio.
Sting and Elton John were among the awards dinner's multiple-trophy winners. The former Police leader's "Every Breath You Take," published by EMI Music Publishing Ltd./Magnetic Music (PRS), reached the 7 million performances milestone, while another Police track, "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic"-also published by EMI Music Publishing Ltd./Magnetic Music (PRS)-was credited for 4 million performances.
John received an honor for 6 million performances for "Your Song," co-written with Bernie Taupin and published by Universal Music Publishing (PRS), as well as a 3-million performance award for "Island Girl."
