In 1996, he had his big year of success with 10 cuts and an astounding five #1 hits, including the iconic “Blue Clear Sky” by George Strait, Faith Hill’s emotive “It Matters to Me,” Rhett Akins’ spirited “Don’t Get Me Started,” and Lonestar’s infectious “No News.” Notably, he clinched the prestigious NSAI Songwriter of the Year Award during this year. In 2000, he co-authored the beloved “I Hope You Dance,” a transcendent #1 country crossover anthem recorded by Lee Ann Womack that won Grammy CMA, ACM, ASCAP, and NSAI Awards for Best Country Song. Mark D. Sanders’ songwriting brilliance graced the charts with hits by renowned artists such as Josh Turner, Martina McBride, Joe Diffie, Vince Gill, Alan Jackson, Joe Nichols, and Jack Ingram.
