Unstoppable Hitmaker Garners ACM New Male Vocalist of the Year Nomination
NASHVILLE, TN – ACM Awards nominee Brett Young celebrated the success of the 3X PLATINUM smash “In Case You Didn’t Know” yesterday with his cowriters at Losers Bar and Grill in Nashville. Co-written alongside Tyler Reeve, Trent Tomlinson and Kyle Schlienger, his is the only song from a debut Country artist to achieve the milestone of over three million in consumption since 2014.
“TRIPLE PLATINUM. That’s not real,” Young joked after surprising his collaborators with the news. “I’m so thankful to my cowriters, fans and Country radio for making this song what it is!”
“In Case You Didn’t Know” is one of three back-to-back No. 1 hits, while his latest single “Mercy” rapidly climbs the charts. Amidst the momentum, Young has been nominated for ACM Awards New Male Vocalist of the Year and is the only nominee in his category to earn this MULTI-PLATINUM accolade for a song.
Young’s “soothing, approachable” (New York Times) self-titled debut album (BMLG Records) became an instant success upon its 2017 release when it dominated the Top 20 on the Country Albums chart for 37 weeks. His lead single PLATINUM-certified “Sleep Without You” climbed to the top of the charts with breakout smash “In Case You Didn’t Know” following as the official music video has surpassed 175
