Chris Young and Kane Brown have topped the Billboard year-end "Country Airplay Songs" chart with their hit “Famous Friends.” Chris and Kane’s song is not only the most-played song on country radio, the track has also charted at number 39 on Billboard's "Radio Songs" all genre year-end chart.

Chris said, “It’s pretty incredible when you get to write/record/produce a song that not only makes people want to sing along with you at concerts but also becomes the most played ‘Billboard’ country song of the entire year."

He added, "I couldn’t be any happier that ‘Famous Friends’ will go into the record books for this, and that I get to celebrate it alongside my buddy Kane Brown.”
