According to the NSAI, a decade award recipient's songwriting success within the designated timespan is determined by 'calculating the percentage of songwriting credit in a Nashville-associated song and tracking each song’s performance on a week to week basis in the Top 20 of the Billboard Country Airplay Chart, Billboard Pop Songs Chart, Billboard Christian Airplay Chart or Billboard Rock Airplay Chart. .

'For the "Songwriter-Artist of the Decade" award, there is the additional requirement that they must be the recording artist as well as a credited songwriter of the song for points to count.'.
