Music Row Celebrates Chris Young's #1 "YOU"

Nashville, TN March 28, 2012: Music Row toasted the success of Chris Young's latest #1 "You" at CMA's newly renovated office yesterday with co-writer Luke Laird, producer James Stroud and the creative teams behind the song from EMI Music Publishing, Universal Music Publishing and Sony Music Nashville.

"You" is Young's 5th consecutive #1single and the 9th for Luke Laird. Only three months into 2012 and ACM Male Vocalist nominee Young continues to notch more career accolades. The year began with a sold-out headlining show, a performance on the popular syndicated daytime program The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the kick-off of the “On Fire” tour with Miranda Lambert, and ACM nominations for Male Vocalist and Single of the Year.
