Wildly successful Nashville songwriter Mark D. Sanders wrote or co-wrote some of the biggest country hits of the '90s. In '80, the 30 year old Sanders moved to Nashville to try his hand at selling his earliest songs. After a relatively lean decade, Sanders began to get traction, selling songs to artists such as Tracy Lawrence and Diamond Rio. By the decade's close, he had racked up an astonishing 14 No. 1 hits, with 5 of them coming in '95 alone. Sanders is a two-time ASCAP songwriter of the year recipient and in '09 he was induced into the Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame.
