Way ahead of y'all...been in my signature forever. This dude has everything he needs to be massive in country music. Oh...I never noticed that, lol. Sorry man. :| I just downloaded it and yep, this is easily one of my top 5-10 favorite songs of 2016. If this isn't the next single (The Highway adding it might be foreshadowing)...I riot. This song is great.

The Highway started playing "In Case You Didn't Know." I heard it for the first time tonight... Wow...that one's pretty damn great. I'm not usually one for saying "that song will be huge" but that song sounds like a big hit waiting to happen. I like "Sleep Without You" well enough but "In Case You Didn't Know" is really good. That's how to write a song to that special girl. I didnt know that "In Case You Didn´t Know" is one of my favorite from his EP ;) . He is not my favorite Brett in country music but I liked his EP since the first time that I listened to and I see some potencial on him too.

I listened to "In Case You Didn't Know" for the first time a few days ago. Holy Jesus what a song. If it's the next single I can picture it being a huge song at weddings and anywhere where there is slow dancing. It's currently #15 iTunes Country and #69 iTunes All Genre. I know The Highway exposure is helping its sales but still. It's obviously connecting well with listeners. Not too mention Brett absolutely nails the vocals. He really sells the song.

This never registered on my radar, saw it on YouTube as a "suggested" video for the songs I had been listening to and then I dug a little deeper...I agree with above posters that "In Case You Didn't Know" is good, but I think I prefer his song "You Ain't Here to Kiss Me". Here's to hoping he has success at radio.

Brett Young is only at 32 weeks on the chart and his song is selling and testing well enough that I easily expect "Sleep Without You" to be a #1.

I checked out his EP and I think this might be the weakest song of the lot, which speaks well for him. He's got such an interesting sound to his voice. Definitely hope this hits #1.

He's like an actually good version of Brett Eldredge. This comment confuses me. I see absolutely nothing wrong with Brett Eldredge. I've never found him boring, never felt he was pandering to the bros, and have just overall liked all of his songs. Is it because people want all of his songs to be as stellar as "Raymond"? That kind of quality is hard to maintain. Brett Young, however, I can take or leave. This song is solidly in the middle of the road for me. It has some okay things, nothing that turns me off, but it's really just "there". His voice is fine, and Dann's production is unusually restrained by his standards. However, there's just enough good peeking through that I think he has potential.

However, there's just enough good peeking through that I think he has potential. Well just because you see nothing wrong with Brett Eldredge, doesn't mean someone else doesn't. I happen to find him very boring, pandering, and have overall liked exactly one of his singles, which was "Raymond." Everything he's put out to date has ranged from absolutely awful ("Don't Ya," "Drunk on Your Love") to just a plain snoozefest ("Mean to Me," current single). He's on my short-list of artists I wish would disappear, which is a shame because unlike most of the other artists who'd be on that list (Cole Swindell, Tyler Farr, etc.) he can actually sing... but he wastes his talent and potential on garbage. His music is the definition of generic, faceless radio fodder to me. Anyway, I brought up the comparison because they're literally both named Brett and both have a similar vocal style... and I happen to think from the small sample of music that we've gotten from Brett Young thus far that he does Brett Eldredge better than Brett Eldredge. "In Case You Didn't Know" in particular shits on Eldredge's whole career. It's a beautiful tune and also one of the best male vocal performances on a country song I've heard in recent years by far. And "Sleep Without You" has more personality in it than any of Eldredge's basic radio fodder.

Maybe it's a matter of opinion. I find Eldredge's stuff a perfect blend of radio-friendliness and personality. Granted, I'm judging Young entirely from this song, which I find merely okay, but I will grant that Young may have better stuff.

Granted, I'm judging Young entirely from this song, which I find merely okay, but I will grant that Young may have better stuff.I'm not really sure what you were hoping to get out of this discussion (if anything), if you're going to admit you only know this one song. If you can't carve out like 15 minutes of your day to check out his entire EP, at least listen to "In Case You Didn't Know." That's the main reason for my initial 'he's like Brett Eldredge but actually good' comment more so than this tune was.

This song is just another generic could-be-sung-by-anybody wafer. It's not bad, but I don't find it really good. The Highway tune IS good. But I think it's justifiable to judge artists solely on their radio single catalog since that still is the overarching force in the industry.

I think Brett Young's two singles are good but not more so than Eldredge's stuff. Don't see how Young has "shit on his entire career." Also, "One Mississippi" and "Raymond" and "Illinois" are notches above "In Case You Didn't Know." But like Bobby said, it's a matter of opinion. No need to get so snarky and dramatic with him when he disagreed with you.

Obviously it's an opinion. His response to me was to be "confused" because he thought "there was nothing wrong with Brett Eldredge." Cool story. I think there is, that's why I suggested that Brett Young was better. He's the one that took the initiative to quote a very brief statement that I made 5 months ago and call it into question instead of just posting about the song and his own personal opinion on it. 2) Not sure how my comment that I think "In Case You Didn't Know" is better than essentially all of Brett Eldredge's singles is any more egregious than your follow-up of "no, actually these three songs are way better," lmao. Just like Bobby, you are presenting your post as a 'correction' of my opinions, and that's the issue here. 3) I wouldn't have to be snarky and dramatic if Bobby, or you now in this case since you've also thrown your hat into the ring, weren't responding to me the way that you are. I find it ironic that you made such a dramatic post to chastise me for supposedly being dramatic. I didn't need to have his post regurgitated for me by someone else; I got it the first two times.

I was providing a counterpoint to that argument. BOTH are opinions. I get it. You dislike Brett Eldredge's songs and seem to prefer Brett Young (so far) more. That is fine. I just found it all odd that you get a little defensive when he brought up his own opinions on a discussion board based on what you said. It doesn't matter that he didn't see what you said til now. This song/thread is still relevant, no? It's not like he was trolling looking to bring something irrelevant out to push any buttons. -- Now, back to this song, it seems it has picked up in sales as it rose up the charts. I fully expect a RIAA Gold certification.

That's not the point: Saying he was "confused" by my post and then following it with the analysis of Brett Eldredge in the way that he did implied in a way that he didn't understand how I could possibly not like Brett Eldredge and find him boring or pandering or w/e. He didn't phrase his opinion like an original opinion of his own to counter mine; he phrased it like a correction of mine. This isn't the first time he's quoted and responded to one of my posts in this manner, either, so there's more back context to it than just that post in isolation. Also, what I think is also getting lost in translation here, is that the snippet he quoted was from a larger post where I was talking about "In Case You Didn't Know," which is the song I was referencing in the first place when I said he was like a better version of Brett Eldredge. I wasn't even referring to "Sleep Without You," so I find it strange that he read my post in its entirety and lobbed off all the context to focus in on the last sentence and then openly admitted that he hadn't even heard the Brett Young song that I was talking about (which, again, wasn't this one).

Congratulations to Brett Young since "Sleep Without You" will for sure be the #1 on both BB and MB. I am ready for "In Case You Didn't Know" to be released (I don't love the song but I like it enough and a bit more than this which I found boring).
I am shocked though that the label doesn't have this guys debut album yet (unless I'm missing something) to send out. They must have a lot of faith that the followup "In Case You Didn't Know" will also be a hit, which while I can understand based on the early sales due to the Highway, but at the same time a lot of new artists only get 1 hit per album (Cam, Chris Janson, Jana Kramer, Brothers Osborne, and Canaan Smith) and I can definitely see that happening with Brett Young.

So happy for him because I watched an interview from him these days and he was really anxious about it. ;) I am also super ready for "In Case You Didnt Know" be released! I hope he repeats the sucess of "Sleep Without You" I know that it is not something very usual as raylatch98 mentioned with some new artists. I dont get it why the label hasnt said anything about the album yet but I think we might have it next year.

NOPE, he's #1 for Mediabase, but not Billboard, Florida Georgia Line with Tim McGraw is #1 this week for Billboard. www.wbwn.com/2016/11/28/florida-georgia-line-shares-number-one-song-with-tim-mcgraw-and-week-with-brett-young/Florida Georgia Line (FGL) has hit #1 with the collaboration with Tim McGraw while Brett Young has scored a #1 with his debut single! FGL’s Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard always wanted to record a song with Tim McGraw. They were able to check that off their bucket list when Tim joined them for the song “May We All” that can be found on their current #1 album Dig Your Roots. The advanced Billboard Country Airplay singles charts shows that collaboration in the number one spot for this week.

Kinda shocked and disappointed this missed out on the #1 on BB (the chart I care about), but I'm glad it at least got there on MB and was ultimately a big hit either way you slice it. Rooting for him to break out in a big way in 2017 with his immaculate follow-up single.

Brett has lost BB # 1 for very little (0,162k). Maybe Big Machine missed their accounts ....

At first I thought this song would go #1 on both charts, but BMLG played things pretty smart here. They still get to call this one a #1 and now they'll get to call "May We All" -- which is unarguably the bigger hit of the two -- a 2-week #1, even though the two songs will only spend a full two weeks at the top of the charts. Brett gets a single Sunday at #1 on Mediabase and so does FGL, but FGL will get 2 weeks at #1 on Billboard.
