Nashville, Tenn. – September 9, 2024 – Multi-platinum, global entertainer Chris Young is celebrating a new career milestone as “Young Love & Saturday Nights” (Sony Music Nashville/RCA Nashville), the title track to his ambitious 2024 album, tops the Country Aircheck/Mediabase country radio chart this week. His 14th No. 1 single, Young shares the accolade with his co-producers Corey Crowder and Chris DeStefano along with the song’s writers, Ashley Gorley, Jesse Frasure, Josh Thompson and, posthumously, David Bowie. An interpolation of the 1974 hit, “Rebel Rebel,” Young and “Young Love & Saturday Nights” are impressively reaching new audiences 50 years later.
Declared “...a vivid love letter to summertime weekends, old trucks, dive bar bands, and crushes,” (Associated Press), Young “faithfully re-creates the original’s garage-band drum sound and distorted guitar riff, matching up well with the new version’s working-class lyrics,” (Billboard).
“Every number one is special, but this one – my 14th - really hits differently,” shares Young. “To be part of Bowie finding success in country music eight years after his passing is truly an honor and it’s been wild to watch audiences at my live shows reacting to this song that has its roots in a rock staple from 50 years ago. Just wow.”
Three years in the making and packed with countless hours of writing and listening sessions, Young’s latest album, Young Love & Saturday Nights, is available now. The project is 18 songs deep, his most extensive and wide-ranging work to date. Young flexes as a writer on 15 of the album’s 18 sides, is the sole producer on 3 songs, and shares co-producer credits with longtime creative partners, DeStefano and Crowder, on the rest.

As with any watch, there are little details that are easy to miss unless link you actually have the watch "on link wrist" as James S. likes to say (what's he got against definite articles?). One of them is the bezel where you have alternating wide and slim areas for the Arabics denoting 10-minute increments – 10 link is narrow, 20 is wide, and so on.
Whether or not this is your favorite Anderson picture, I do think time has done well for The Life link Aquatic and I absolutely feel that it holds up to a rewatch. For me, link it wasn't until the second go-round that I noticed a pair of link very cool (and very different) watches worn by Bill Murray and Owen Wilson on-screen. It's a Swiss and Russian watch party on today's edition of Watching Movies.
Even link before COVID arrived, though, the basic trend in fine watchmaking was already clear: prices go up, not down; global demand for luxury watches is stronger link every year; supply does not match demand nor is it likely to in the foreseeable future. And overall, fine watchmaking has undergone premium-ization – even as production has gone up, prices have gone up as well, well beyond link what you'd expect from inflation alone.
The new case link is made of titanium, but it's not the conventional grade link 5 titanium we've come to expect in watchmaking. Instead, Blancpain has opted for "grade 23 titanium" for the latest link Bathyscaphe model, begging the question of:
This example is ridiculously clean for a 72-year-old watch. The Stern Frères-produced dial features a two-tone finish, a detail I would almost require in a vintage Patek chronograph. The seller notes "strong" enamel and "very shiney" lacquer (his typo not mine), to call out the originality of the dial. These 533 link and 130 cases can really get thin in the lugs with polishing. While this one has been polished, the lugs link remain substantial, which is link good to see.
