The summer continues to sizzle for Young as the Sony ATV staff invited
Chris, his management team, and Sony executives to celebrate Chris’ five
consecutive No. 1 singles (“You,” “Tomorrow,” “Gettin’ You Home,”
“Voices,” and “The Man I Want To Be”). The day prior to the already
scheduled event, mega-hit “Tomorrow,” (written by Young, Frank Myers,
and Anthony Smith) was certified PLATINUM by the RIAA for sales
exceeding one million downloads. This momentous award comes on the heels
of a GOLD certification being announced last week for “The Man I Want
To Be.”
