Brett Young Scores Fifth No.1 Single With ‘Here Tonight’
Congratulations, Brett!
Just days after announcing that he and his wife would welcome a baby girl into the world, singer Brett Young learned that he had earned his fifth No.1 single with “Here Tonight.”
The track will spend a second week in the top spot Billboard Country Chart, while also peaking at No.1 on the Mediabase/Country Airplay chart this week.
“We wanted to write a song about living in the moment and trying to enjoy WHAT is happening, WHILE it’s happening,” said Young of the song he wrote alongside Ben Caver, Justin Ebach and Lady Antebellum’s Charles Kelley. “That’s very much what I’m trying to do right now. I don’t think it’s fully sunk in yet that this is my fifth number one, it’s an incredible feeling and I’m beyond grateful.”
