Nashville, TN – December 17, 2018 – ACM New Male Vocalist of the Year Brett Young's sophomore album, TICKET TO L.A. (BMLG Records), hit #1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart upon its debut (Dec 7; Chart dated Dec 22, 2018).
Ticket to L.A. blew in atop the chart tallying 37,000 equivalent album units earned in its first week, ending Dec. 13, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 27,000 were from traditional sales.



















Young co-wrote 10 of the 13 tracks on the “polished” (PEOPLE) album, showcasing his emotionally fluent brand of country soul. The multi-platinum singer wrapped his “engaging and vocally strong” (Providence Journal) headlining CMT ON TOUR: HERE TONIGHT with multiple sold-out stops.

On Tuesday, Young visited the TODAY Show for multiple performances including the album's title track. Friday, he visited The Ellen DeGeneres Show to perform his “driving” (Rolling Stone) single, "Here Tonight."

Delivering four consecutive No. 1 PLATINUM-certified hits, Young distinguished himself as the only Country artist on Billboard’s Top New Artist List. He was recently named ASCAP’s 2018 Country Songwriter-Artist of the Year for his “melodic craftsmanship” (Billboard), and his 3X PLATINUM smash hit “In Case You Didn’t Know” was bestowed with the top honor at the BMI Country Awards as their Song of the Year. Young has also garnered nominations from ACM, Billboard, Teen Choice, CMT and CMA Awards as he continues to rack up nonstop hits as “one of country music’s most reliable new hitmakers” (Tennessean). 
Along with the industry successes, his relationship with fans found Young selling out every stop on his debut headlining CALIVILLE TOUR and earning new followers on the road with Thomas Rhett’s LIFE CHANGES TOUR. He is set to join Kelsea Ballerini in 2019 on the MISS ME MORE TOUR.
