In the first, they have a relationship outside of when she's drunk, and he even magnanimously tells her she can call him anything ''except'' then. In the latter, he tells her to just find someone else altogether and to basically lose his number.

* NotBigEnoughForTheTwoOfUs: "Town Ain't Big Enough," a duet with Lauren Alaina, about the inability to get closure after a break-up because you keep running into your ex. Rather than duel for it as is typical for the trope, the lyrics wish they could "draw a line through the city" so they didn't have to see each other.

Added DiffLines:

* NewSoundAlbum: ''A.M'', his last album with James Stroud as producer, was significantly more pop-influenced than his first three albums. ''I'm Comin' Over'', his first album with Corey Crowder, completed the transition.

A CountryMusic singer from Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

Christopher Alan Young (June 12, 1985-) performed locally before getting his break on the Creator/{{CMT}} singing competition ''Series/NashvilleStar''. This also resulted in a contract with Creator/RCARecords.

Although his debut album got some critical buzz, it sold horribly and the singles failed to crack the top 40. His third RCA single, "Voices", also bombed -- but then came "Gettin' You Home (The Black Dress Song)", which sparked a string of five straight #1 hits on the country charts (including a {{rerelease|the song}} of "Voices"). His next four RCA discs all achieved RIAA gold sales, along with further hits such as "Aw Naw", "I'm Comin' Over", "Think of You", "Sober Saturday Night", and "Losing Sleep".

While his first few albums showed him to have a neotraditionalist country bent replete with cowboy hat, his sound began to shift more toward pop and he lost the hat.

!Tropes present in his work:

* AdvertisedExtra: Music/VinceGill provides a barely noticeable backing vocal and brief guitar solo on "Sober Saturday Night", but the song was credited as a full-fledged duet.
* ChristmasSongs: ''It Must Be Christmas''
* DrowningMySorrows: "Drinkin' Me Lonely"
* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: From about ''A.M.'' onward, he began pushing toward a more country-pop sound instead of neotraditional country.
* LittleBlackDress: "Gettin' You Home (The Black Dress Song)" is about wanting to [[DressHitsFloor take one of these off his lover]].
* LoudnessWar: One of the pitfalls of his work from ''I'm Comin' Over'' onward is Corey Crowder's overblown and amateurish production. This is especially notable on "Think of You".
* RereleaseTheSong: "Voices" only got to #37 on its first release. But after he broke through with the #1 hits "Gettin' You Home" and "The Man I Want to Be", he persuaded the label to give "Voices" a second chance -- resulting in his third straight #1 hit.
