Jesse McCartney, Ryan Tedder bag Song Of The Year gong

Washington, April 23: Jesse McCartney and Ryan Tedder have bagged Song of The Year prize at the American Society of Composers, Authors & Performers (ASCAP) Pop Music Awards.

The duo received that gong for penning Leona Lewis` smash-hit ‘Bleeding Love’. The song was picked by music moguls Simon Cowell and Clive Davis as Lewis`` breakout hit after she won British talent show X Factor - and she took it to the top of the charts all over the globe. "Being recognised by ASCAP is a great honour as a songwriter, and I am very grateful for this award,” Contactmusic quoted McCartney as saying. “The success of this song would not have been possible without Leona`s stunning vocals and amazing approach," McCartney added.
