Dido and Sting head the honours as BMI unveils 2001 and 2002 awards. (International).
US society BMI last week gave songwriters double helpings of awards for 2002 and 2001, 12 months after last year's event--scheduled to take place on September 12--was cancelled due to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Just over a week after being named Ascap's song of the year, Warner/Chappell's Dido and Cheeky's Paul Herman's Thank You clocked up yet more honours at BMI's London awards last Wednesday by clinching the 2002 Robert S Musel award for the most-performed song written by a European-signed member of BMI. The 2001 award went to Sting's EMI-published Desert Rose.
Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett's Gorillaz track Clint Eastwood, published by EMI, received double honours in the college song and pop categories at the Dorchester Hotel-held event, while Sony/ATV's Noel Gallagher bagged the previous year's college award for the Oasis hit Go Let It Out. Newcomers to receive awards included Imro's Warner/Chappell-signed Samantha Mumba for Baby Come On Over, co-written by Stim's Anders Bagge and Arnthor Birgisson.
The veteran songwriting team of Elton John and Bernie Taupin scored a brace of 2002 awards, including a pop award for I Want Love, an award for 3m performances of Blessed, 4m for Crocodile Rock and a 5m performance award for Daniel.
Composer Michael Kamen was recognised with four mentions in total, including a special award for his Winter Olympics 2002 theme, a cable award for his score to HBO's Band Of Brothers, a 4m performance gong for (Everything I Do) I Do It For You and a 2001 film music award for his score to the X-Men.
Pamela Sheyne received two mentions in the 2001 pop list for He Loves You Not and This Is Me, published by AppleTreeSongs and Warner/Chappell, as well as receiving a 2002 pop prize for Irresistible, co-written with Anders Bagge and co-published by EMI Songs Scandinavia.
BMI highlighted that there is enduring demand for UK songwriters Stateside, pointing to PRS figures which show that revenues from the US for UK songwriters doubled between 1988 and 2001.
