‘Catch of the Day’ – Chris Young [AUDIO]
Today's catch comes from an artist that was one of the first country artists to make his way to country success from a reality contest program.
Chris Young came to the attention of country music fans as the winner of the first season of Nashville Star in 2006. He soon after signed with and later that year released his self-titled debut album, which featured the singles "Drinkin' Me Lonely" and "You're Gonna Love Me", which both failed to crack the top-40.
In 2009, Young released "Voices", the debut single off of his second album The Man I Want To Be. "Voices" initially failed to crack the top-30, stalling at #37 on the country chart. But the next two singles from the album, "Gettin' You Home (The Black Dress Song) and the album's title track both hit #1.
A re-release of "Voices" followed, and it too went to #1. All three of the singles have been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. Young's third album Neon, released in 2011 led off with two more #1 hits, "Tomorrow" and "You", giving him 5 straight chart-toppers. His 2013 album A.M. failed to yield a #1 hit, but did feature three top-10 singles, "Aw Naw", "Who I Am With You" and "Lonely Eyes".
2015 sees a new album on the way for Young, and the lead single from this project is in our spotlight today. Chris Young and "I'm Comin' Over", your Catch of the Day. new music you haven't heard, but you'll want to hear it again.
