Chris Young is starting February with a bang. His single, “Voices,” off his sophomore album reached No. 1 single, marking the third consecutively. It was charted at the peak position on the Billboard Hot Country Songs and Country Aircheck charts.
The mark of this success also marks the making of a new record – one that was previously held for 25-years by Randy Travis. Young broke the record for the modern era of the Billboard country chart in that an artist released a song to only moderate char success, then re-released the same song and it took No. 1. “Voices” is the first re-release to reach the top of the charts since 1986, when Travis’ “On The Other Hand” initially peaked at No. 67.
“Voices” was first released in the summer of 2008, when it originally peaked on Billboard’s Hot Country songs at No. 37. “Getting’ You Home” as well as “The Man I Want To Be” reached back-to-back No. 1 hits, just before “Voices,” off of Young’s most recent album “The Man I Want To Be.”
To make the day extra special, the day it reached No. 1, and broke the 25-year record, Young also released his newest single – “Tomorrow.” This single, however, is the first from his upcoming album, which will be released in the summer. As far as continued success, Young is nominated for a GRAMMY Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance (“Getting You Home,” and is currently touring with Rascal Flats on their ‘Nothing Like This,” tour.
