“I’m very honored
to be included on this playlist with so many other amazing artists and
representing such an iconic song,” Young said. “I’m such a huge fan of
The Temptations, so when they asked me to select a song from that era, I
knew pretty quickly which one I wanted to do.”
Brett Young’s “soothing, approachable self-titled debut album” (New York Times)
(BMLG Records) continues to make a big impression as only one of two
Country artists to earn RIAA GOLD-certification with albums released
this year. His latest offering “Like I Loved You” is quickly rising at
Country radio, recently reaching the Top 10 on the Mediabase Country
Airplay chart. The single follows back-to-back No. 1 smashes, including
the PLATINUM-certified “Sleep Without You” and 2X PLATINUM “In Case You
Didn’t Know. “Young is quickly becoming one of country music’s most
reliable new hit makers…” (The Tennessean) and
the industry is noticing with CMA, ACM, Teen Choice Award, CMT Music
Awards and AIMP Award nominations. Breaking barriers in the video format
as well, “In Case You Didn’t Know,” was amongst Vevo’s Top Videos of
2017 and has already surpassed 145 million views. As Billboard
notes, “…his impact goes beyond the singles,” with fans and critics
are also raving about his live show, with his debut headlining CALIVILLE
Tour currently underway with a sold-out stop tonight in Nashville.
