Anthem Music Publishing says it has acquired the song catalog of Grammy-nominated, Nashville-based songwriter and producer Mark Holman.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The acquisition covers country and pop hits Holman has penned, including the No. 1 country singles Single Saturday Night by Cole Swindell, Simple by Florida Georgia Line, and I Ain’t Sayin’ by Jordan Davis.
The catalog also includes three tracks from Morgan Wallen‘s Dangerous: The Double Album: Neon Eyes, Me On Whiskey, and Whatcha Think of Country Now.
Holman, a Grammy-nominated songwriter from Ewing, Illinois, has also written tracks for Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Blake Shelton, Post Malone and more. Earlier in his career, he wrote Faceless and Feed the Machine for Christian rock band RED‘s Billboard No. 1 album Until We Have Faces.
“I’ve had the pleasure of working directly with Mark in the past, so this feels like a full circle moment with a good friend.”

His undeniable talent shows through in every song in this catalog. Anthem is honored to be trusted with this outstanding body of work.”
Mark Holman added: “I’m really excited these songs have found a home and I’m very grateful to Noah and the Anthem team. Anthem has always been a champion for music and songwriters and Noah is one of the best to do it.”
Holman recently co-wrote three songs on Jordan Davis’ latest album, including the chart-topping I Ain’t Sayin’, which has racked up nearly 93 million streams on Spotify. Davis is also signed to Anthem.

The artist’s work has also been featured in American Idol, The Biggest Loser, and Disney’s animated film Planes.
For Anthem Music Publishing, the Holman catalog expands its portfolio of country music rights. The company operates as the publishing arm of Toronto-headquartered Anthem Music Group, which also has operations in Nashville, New York and Los Angeles.
Over the past year, Anthem has acquired the catalogs of Nashville hitmaker Matt Alderman, Puerto Rican rapper Darell, singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk, and more recently in June, the catalog of late country singer-songwriter Marty Robbins.
