Josh Ross Marks His Second No. 1 With the People Who Got Him There

On Sept. 30, Josh Ross toasted a song that reached the top of the chart, his second to get there, at a party in Nashville. The guest list was a careful mix: the family who knew him first, the friends who stayed close, and colleagues from the business side of the music industry. A first No. 1 introduces an artist. A second one confirms the first was earned, and Nashville takes that seriously enough to throw a party for it. In this town it's a good sign when the people who share your private life and the people who build your career are happy to celebrate in the same room.
