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 33 the RCA Records artist has seven albums, ten No. 1 singles and seventeen R.I.A.A. certified projects including the 2x Platinum single “I’m Comin’ Over” - the namesake for his Gold certified album 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.
