The people who
wrote the songs.
A few of these names you know. Most of them you don’t, and you know their songs by heart anyway. Every one of them has played a Grindhouse round.
They played here first
Before you knew the name.
Lainey Wilson played this round back in 2017. Ella Langley sat in seven times across 2020 and 2021, three years before her first #1. Tucker Wetmore played one Thursday in June 2023 and had a debut single out eight months after that.
Nobody in the room knew what was coming. That is the whole point of the night.
You already know these
The person who wrote it
has played this round.
A few of them. Any given Thursday, somebody in the room wrote one of these.

The record
Every #1, and who wrote it.
Every one of these reached #1 on a Billboard chart, and every one was written, co-written or produced by somebody who has sat on a stool in this room.
