Chris Young Scores Third Consecutive Billboard Country Airplay No. 1 Single With “Sober Saturday Night”

by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey | March 6, 2017

Break out the champagne. Chris Young’s “Sober Saturday Night” reached the top of both Billboard’s Country Airplay chart and the Mediabase chart this past week.

“Sober Saturday Night,” which features Vince Gill on background vocals and guitar, was co-written by Chris, Brad Warren and Brett Warren. The tune is Chris’ third consecutive single from his I’m Comin’ Over album to reach No. 1, following both the title track and “Think of You.” Chris has now tallied nine career No. 1 songs.

“I loved getting to work with Vince on the song,” said Chris to Nash Country Daily. “Obviously, I’m a really, really, big fan anyway. Anytime you actually get to have someone that you’re that big a fan of on your album, it’s just a big deal. I remember going to see him at [Nashville’s] Starwood Amphitheater years ago. He was one of my first concerts. The fact now that his name is next to mine on a single—it’s just so many cool things going on there. I’m definitely proud of ‘Sober Saturday Night.'”

Thanks to my friends in country radio, everyone that requested this one, and of course @VGcom! “Sober Saturday Night” is my 9th number one!! pic.twitter.com/v54fMfuqNZ
