Surprised With Honorary Plaque Backstage At The Grand Ole Opry

“Man it’s just kind of crazy. Being backstage at the Opry and right in the middle of so many crazy things of an album launch, getting presented a plaque from Pandora for 4 billion streams is just wild. And yeah, it’s billion with a “b” and it’s amazing to actually be able to say that out loud and it be real. So, pretty incredible night capped off by a really really cool plaque that’s definitely going on my wall.”

Following the release of his brand-new album Famous Friends, multi-platinum, global entertainer Chris Young was surprised backstage following Saturday night’s Grand Ole Opry with a plaque commemorating more than 4 Billion streams to date on Pandora. The presentation took place during a special live taping of his podcast, The Quad with Chris Young .

Chris’s 8th studio album – Famous Friends – is led by the multi-week chart-topping title track with friend and labelmate Kane Brown. The 14-song project features several more of Chris’s famous friends, including a collaboration with Mitchell Tenpenny on the “booming duet” ( Tennessean) “At The End Of A Bar” which debuted as the #1 country song (#4 all-genre) on Pandora’s Top Thumb Hundred Chart this week.
