BBR Music Group (formerly Broken Bow Records) is an American record label based in Nashville. Founded in July 1999 by Benny Brown,[1] the label specializes in country music. The label's executive vice president is Jon Loba.
Craig Morgan had the first number-one single for the label with his 2005 hit "That's What I Love About Sunday".[2] Jason Aldean has produced the most number-one hits for the label, with twenty-one in total.
In 2009, Broken Bow Records launched a sister label, Stoney Creek Records. In August 2015, Broken Bow launched another imprint label, Wheelhouse Records, with Trace Adkins and Granger Smith the first artists signed to it.[3]
BBR Music Group was acquired by BMG Rights Management in February 2017.[4]
