\n\tDixson won a Grammy for best R&B song on Feb. 1 as a co-writer of \u201cFolded.\u201d He co-wrote the song with Kehlani, Andre Harris, Donovan Knight, Don Mills, Khristopher Riddick-Tynes, Dawit Kamal Wilson. Kehlani won a second Grammy that night for best R&B solo performance for the song, which reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tLenae\u2019s \u201cLove Me Not\u201d climbed even higher on the Hot 100 (No. 5), though it didn\u2019t receive Grammy recognition. Gunna feat. Burna Boy\u2019s \u201cWGFT\u201d and Grande\u2019s \u201cTwilight Zone\u201d also made the top 20 on Billboard\u2019s flagship songs chart. GloRilla\u2019s \u201cTypa\u201d reached No. 42.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe success of every hit song begins with a great creator,\u201d Sam Kling, chief creative officer, SESAC, said in a statement. \u201cThis year, we aspired to create an experience that was as exceptional as creative talent we are honoring. Bringing together an exclusive group of industry-leading songwriters, publishers, artists, and executives for a waterfront celebration in Malibu allowed us to recognize the year\u2019s most successful songs in a way that was both personal and unforgettable.\u201d<\/p>\n
