Multi-platinum, global entertainer Chris Young took some time to celebrate this week as his award-winning collaboration “Famous Friends” with Kane Brown scored Double Platinum status by the R.I.A.A.. Chris’s co-writers Corey Crowder and Cary Barlowe joined for the celebration, where Chris was also surprised with a platinum plaque for his “soul-shattering” (People) song “Drowning,” which was co-written by Corey Crowder and Josh Hoge. “Famous Friends” and “Drowning” can be found on Chris’s recently released Famous Friends (Deluxe Edition). Chris’s newest single, “At The End Of A Bar” with Mitchell Tenpenny, is approaching Top 5 on the country radio charts this week, adding to the celebration.

“Any day I get to celebrate big milestones with my co-writers and friends is a good day,” says Chris. “I’m really proud of how hard everyone has worked on this entire project and excited about playing all of the new music live and the rest of 2022.”

With more than 5 Billion streams across his catalog worldwide, which includes twelve No.1 singles to date, the RCA Records Nashville artist has earned an impressive 24 total career Multi-Platinum/Platinum/Gold certifications by the R.I.A.A..

The recognition comes following the summer release of his “most personal album to date” (Forbes), Chris Young’s Famous Friends (Deluxe Edition). In addition to the award-winning, multi-week No. 1 “Famous Friends” with Kane Brown and his top 5 and rising single and “booming duet” (Tennessean) “At The End of a Bar,” with Mitchell Tenpenny, the project features six new sides. New collaborations include “Music Note” with Jimmie Allen, an “excellent ode to musical heroes and chasing dreams” (Billboard) and “Everybody Needs A Song” with Old Dominion. Two new solo songs – “If I Knew What Was Good For Me” and “Like A Slow Song” — as well as acoustic versions of fan favorites “I’m Comin’ Over” and “Think of You” with Cassadee Pope round out the twenty sides on the new release, all produced or co-produced by Chris. Famous Friends (Deluxe Edition) is available now at https://CY.lnk.to/FFDLX.
