Every singer loves getting a pat on the back for a song well song and a performance concert well done. Chris Young is no exception as he wracks up some new career highlights.

Only six weeks into 2012 and ACM Male Vocalist nominee Chris Young continues to notch more career accolades. The year began with a sold-out headlining show, a performance on the popular syndicated daytime program The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the kick-off of the “On Fire” tour with Miranda Lambert, ACM nominations for Male Vocalist and Single of the Year and most recently, his fifth consecutive #1 with “You.” The list continues to expand with the tandem RIAA GOLD certifications of his chart-toppers “You” and “Voices.”
Thus, Young becomes one of only two solo artists to top Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart with their five most recent singles.

After hitting the top of the charts last year with “Voices,” the song that earned him a 2011 GRAMMY® nomination from his sophomore album, The Man I Want To Be, Young broke a 25-year record, marking only the second time in the modern era of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart that an artist re-released the same recording to chart-topping status.

Over the next two weeks, Young will make tour stops in Amherst, MA; Fayetteville, NC; Greensboro, NC; Hershey, PA; Lexington, KY; North Charleston, SC; and Youngstown, OH.
