Im Dezember 2016 schaffte es Mac als Autor von Rockabye (Clean Bandit feat. Sean Paul und Anne-Marie) drei Wochen an Spitze der deutschen Singlecharts. Nach drei Wochen verdrängte er sich selbst mit dem Titel Shape of You (Ed Sheeran) von der Spitze. Die Single verblieb 15 Wochen an der Spitze, sodass Mac insgesamt 18 Wochen am Stück die Spitzenposition belegte. Shape of You wurde innerhalb von fünf Monaten mit einer Diamantenen Schallplatte für über eine Million verkaufte Einheiten ausgezeichnet, damit zählt das Stück zu den meistverkauften Singles in Deutschland.

2018 wurde Mac bei den Brit Awards als Produzent des Jahres ausgezeichnet.
