ACM Male Vocalist nominee CHRIS YOUNG took the stage at Nashville’s Tin Roof Broadway for a special live performance of his ten No. 1 singles as he joined his music industry friends, including country icon Randy Travis, and family last night in celebrating the chart-topping success of “Losing Sleep.” Renamed “Ten” Roof just for the momentous occasion, the RCA Records Nashville artist performed each of his ten chart-toppers to cap off the party honoring Young (BMI), “Losing Sleep” co-writers Chris DeStefano (ASCAP) and Josh Hoge (SESAC) and co-producer Corey Crowder. Sony Music Nashville EVP/COO, Ken Robold also surprised the singer with a Double Platinum plaque for his multi-week No. 1, “I’m Comin’ Over.”
“We have no idea if we ever get to stand with a microphone in front of people at a No. 1 party ever again. I didn’t think I’d get to do my first one,” says Young. “It really is one of those things where I went from playing at El Chico on Murfreesboro Road, and with everybody’s support…my family’s support…and a lot of luck, right now I’m standing up here talking about my tenth No. 1 and Randy Travis is sitting over there.”

ABOUT CHRIS YOUNG: Recently inducted as a member of the iconic Grand Ole Opry, Chris Young achieved another milestone in 2017 with the release of Losing Sleep, his second consecutive studio album to debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums Chart. At the age of 32 the RCA Records artist has ten No. 1 singles and seven albums to his credit, including the Platinum-certified Neon and 2015’s Gold-certified I’m Comin’ Over, which earned multiple ACM, BBMA, CMA, CMT, Grammy and RDMA nominations and scored three consecutive chart-topping singles. A prolific creator, Losing Sleep is Chris’s third project in less than two years and the title track is his eighth No. 1 as a songwriter.
Named “one of his era’s finest traditionalists” by the Associated Press, Chris has quickly become an international ambassador for country music, performing to packed houses around the world including the sold-out C2C Festival in the UK. With a hit-packed set that highlights his ten chart-toppers — including back-to-back No. 1s “Losing Sleep,” “Sober Saturday Night,” “Think Of You,” and “I’m Comin’ Over” — and seventeen Gold/Platinum certified projects, he’s headlining the Chris Young Losing Sleep 2018 World Tour, with more than 40 arena and amphitheater dates on the books including his first hometown headlining show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.
