Chris Young’s “Young Love & Saturday Nights” scores most-added single at Country Radio this week

Nashville, Tenn., – October 2, 2023 — Multi-Platinum entertainer Chris Young and the RCA Nashville team have scored the most-added song at country radio this week with “Young Love & Saturday Nights,” “…a vivid love letter to summertime weekends, old trucks, dive bar bands, and crushes” (Associated Press). “Young Love & Saturday Nights” tallies a total 54 combined Billboard and Country Aircheck/Mediabase first week stations, including spins on Sirius XM’s The Highway.
 
Co-produced by Young with Corey Crowder and Chris DeStefano, the song leans into David Bowie’s “Rebel Rebel” signature guitar lick, making the legendary rocker a writer on the song alongside Ashley Gorley, Jesse Frasure and Josh Thompson.
 
Chris Young’s “Young Love & Saturday Nights” is already receiving rave reviews:
 

“Since his 2006 debut, Young’s canon of traditional-leaning country songs has been consistent, and he extends it here, embedding the riff into the melody of this ode to trucks and weekend romances, which also showcases Young’s baritone twang.” — Billboard
 
“….the perfect summer anthem to crank up the volume with the windows down.” — iHeart Country
 
“The melody quotes ‘Rebel Rebel’ by David Bowie, but this uptempo romp is country all the way. It’s a joyous celebration of old trucks, small towns, radio tunes and necking in the parking lot. Roll down the windows and crank it up on a carefree weekend.”  — Music Row
 
“Young showcases his hard-hitting vocals and Tennessee twang as he depicts the carefree feeling of ‘falling way too fast’ on a summer Saturday night.” — Country Now
 
“Chris Young leans heavy on a timeless rock riff throughout ‘Young Love & Saturday Nights,’ the latest look at his next studio album.” — Taste Of Country

 
The steamy music video for “Young Love & Saturday Nights” was filmed at Old Hickory Beach in Hendersonville, Tenn., north of Nashville. Chris performs the song beachside as we witness the flirtatious fun of young love and the freedom of Saturday nights. Watch now HERE.
