Chris Young Counts Down to his 10th Album "I Didn't Come Here To Leave" Out Oct 17
 | Tue, October 14, 2025 at 10:10 AM |
I Didn't Come Here To Leave, the tenth album from multi-platinum artist Chris Young, marks the start of a new chapter for the global entertainer. With the release of his tenth album, and first with Black River Entertainment, Young has "cemented himself as one of the genre's most recognizable talents" (Country Now). Friday's album release also coincides with the 8th anniversary of Young's induction into the exclusive membership of the Grand Ole Opry.
Now, after a million miles of highway and countless milestones - the prolific hitmaker boasts 14 No. 1 singles and 9 Billion+ streams, membership in the Opry, along with numerous CMT Awards and ACM, AMA, CMA and GRAMMY nominations to his credit, writing and co-producing much of the work behind his 54 RIAA certifications - Young's bold tenth album proves he isn't going anywhere, and is still going all in. The weeks ahead will have the superstar making appearances from coast-to-coast:
Thursday, October 16: Young will play a free show, premiering songs from the new album, at Loser's in Nashville - more HERE. "Boots On The Ground" music video will make its broadcast debut in rotation across CMT Channels.

Praised as "one of the genre's most beloved performers," (Men's Journal) each of the 14 songs on Young's upcoming album, I Didn't Come Here To Leave, captures another essential element of a country life, expressed through equal measures of good-timing energy, and graceful grit. Young first teased the new project with the "romantic, wedding-worthy" (iHeartCountry) lead single, "Til The Last One Dies" currently rising on the country radio and streaming charts.
"I genuinely think this is one of my favorite things I've ever made," shares Young. "That's not just talk-I'm really proud of this album. Even if it doesn't land with everyone, I know what it means to me. But honestly, I do think people are going to feel it. It's that special."
