<p>Continuing a string of major catalog acquisitions, ole has finalized a worldwide administration deal with Nashville-based music publishing and artist development company <strong>Artist Revolution</strong> that brings the catalog and futures of acclaimed Country songwriter <strong>Jesse Rice</strong> to ole, which will handle administration duties. The deal includes Florida Georgia Line’s hit single “Cruise,” which was co-written by Rice and has sold nearly 7 million copies as of April 2014, overtaking Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now” as the best-selling Country digital song of all time. The track also spent 24 weeks at the top of Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart, the longest reign in the chart’s 69-year history.”<strong>Jesse Rice</strong> is one of the hardest working songwriters I have ever met,” said John Ozier, General Manager of Creative at ole. “To be able to represent Jesse, as well as the longest running #1 on Billboard’s <strong>Hot Country Songs Chart</strong> in Florida Georgia Line’s ‘Cruise,’ is a huge honor.”I’m super excited to join the ole Nashville team,” said Rice. “I have long held ole GM <strong>John Ozier</strong> with high regard, and the chance to team up with him and his staff over there was a home run when it came to determining the next chapter of my songwriting career. We’re hitting the ground running, and I couldn’t be more pumped about the opportunities we have in place.”Rice joins a growing stable of talent that also includes seminal prog-rock band Rush, hip-hop and R&B hitmaker Timbaland, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, and fellow up-and-coming Country artists Tyler Farr, Josh Dorr, and Sam Grow, among many others.</p>
