Chris began the afternoon at the ASCAP building, where he met with members of the country music media. “It’s still surreal,” Chris said of his first No. 1 single. “I still pinch myself every day about it.” The celebration continued later in the day at the BMI building, where Chris and his co-writers, Cory Batten and Kent Blazy, were honored.
Chris is so deserving of this honor and I personally couldn't be happier for him. He is so talented and in my opinion, has one of the best voices in country music. GREAT song and GREAT album!

Finally, a new country voice that is truly country. It's about time and it sounds like a new George Strait is born.

Chris is so deserving of this #1 and I feel this is just the first of many that He will have. He is the most talented singer and song writer that has come out in years. If you haven't heard the whole album you must get it and I have personally sent many copies of the CD to the troops. Chris just recently got back from a trip to Iraq and Germany to sing for the troops.

Chris Young has truly proven himself, not only as a talented songwriter but a truly gifted vocalist. The three years for the release of the sophmore CD "The Man I Want To Be" was well worth the wait for it honestly allowed Chris' amazing voice to mature even more, bringing Chris into the man he is today. I just saw Chris Friday night and he sang accustically "There's a New Kid in Town" and I thought yes, that town is Nashville and the new kid in town is Chris Young and he's here to stay...
Congradulations Chris, on "Gettin You Home" reaching that #1 spot! It's just the first #1 song of many to come. So VERY proud of you..

As a Chris Young fan, I'm terribly excited for this YOUNG man. Having a #1 hit is the result of a lot of hard work by the singer/songwriter, his co-writers, the label, his management, country radio, music publications like Country Weekly, and Chris Young fans. The Black Dress craze is far from over.
