Nashville, Tenn. – February 25, 2021 — Multi-platinum performer and RCA Nashville recording artist Chris Young’s impressive catalog of hits – including his eleven No. 1 singles and top 30 and rising track “Famous Friends” – has surpassed the 4 Billion streams mark worldwide. Chris got word of the total tally earlier this week while filming the soon-to-be-released “Famous Friends” music video with Kane Brown in Nashville, directed by Peter Zavadil.
Written by Chris with Cary Barlowe and Corey Crowder from a headline tour stop in Tampa in 2018, “Famous Friends” was teased by Chris and Kane on social media last year. The autobiographical song mentions Rutherford County, where Chris grew up in Tennessee, and Kane’s hometown of Hamilton County along with Nashville’s Davidson County.
Billboard declared: “The earworm of the fall and winter is undoubtedly No. 1-bound as these two ‘famous friends’ complement each other perfectly.”
An anthemic tribute to the names, faces, and legendary stories that make up each hometown, “Famous Friends” is Chris and Kane’s first collaboration since working together on Kane’s 2017 song “Setting the Night On Fire.” Additionally, the song reunites the former tour mates from Chris’ 2018 Losing Sleep Headlining Tour — which included a sold-out hometown show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena — and is a full-circle moment since Kane’s first live concert experience as a young Country fan was a Brad Paisley and Chris Young tour stop.
