Are you having deja vu of hearing “voices”? Chris Young’s current single “Voices” is making its way up the radio charts for a second time. The same recording of the same song is resting at No. 12 on MusicRow’s Country Breakout chart after 22 weeks on the list—this go ‘round.
The track was first released by RCA Nashville in 2008 as the lead single from The Man I Want to Be. Co-written by Young, Chris Tompkins, and Craig Wiseman, the song originally made it to No. 65 on the Country Breakout chart.
“Voices” is No. 5 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, and if it makes it to the top, it will be the first time since Randy Travis’ 1986 chestnut “On the Other Hand,” that a re-released single hit the pinnacle.
Young has had back-to-back No. 1’s with “Gettin’ You Home” and “The Man I Want to Be.” He is nominated for his first GRAMMY Award next month for Best Male Country Vocal Performance (“Gettin’ You Home”). He joins Luke Bryan on the second leg of Rascal Flatts’ Nothing Like Tour, kicking off January 14.
