He’s the fans’ choice as Country Weekly‘s Hottest Bachelor, so we decided to ask Chris Young for some pointers on how he does it. We often see him wearing black…could he be adding to his natural appeal with a little black mystique? He’s not dismissing the possibility, and he gives some credit to the sometimes mysterious look of the black cowboy hat, but he says that black shirts also have practical appeal, as he laughs, “It’s not hard to iron those, and it doesn’t matter if you sweat in ’em when you’re on stage.” Black is definitely a winning color for Chris — it looks great and sounds even better in his current hit, the irresistibly sexy “Gettin’ You Home (The Black Dress Song).” (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

• “Gettin’ You Home (The Black Dress Song)” is available now as a digital single at your favorite online music store…and it’ll be on Chris’ upcoming second album, The Man I Want to Be.
• “Gettin’ You Home” continues to rack up the plays on Chris’ MySpace page, with more than 640,000 plays so far!!

  Chris Young says that wearing black has some practical applications, too. (:26)
“I don’t know…I mean, I wear, you know…I’ll go out there in a t-shirt and just kinda whatever I got. I just, I wear black shirts a lot ’cause it’s not hard to iron those, and it doesn’t matter if you sweat in ’em when you’re on stage (laughs). But, you know, I don’t know that it’s the mysterious thing. I think the hat probably does a lot of the mysterious thing, just ’cause, dependin’ on where you’re playin’ at on stage, sometimes you can’t see your face if you’re wearin’ a hat.”
