He released his second studio album, The Man I Want to Be, in September 2009. Lead single "Voices" initially peaked at 37 on the country chart, but was successfully re-released in 2010 after Young experienced a commercial breakthrough with subsequent singles. All three singles released from the album were number one hits and received at least a Gold certification from RIAA.
Neon was released July 12, 2011. Its first two singles, "Tomorrow" and "You", rose to number one, earning Young a five-song streak of chart-toppers. Follow-up single, "Neon", stalled at 23 on the Hot Country Songs chart. A fourth single, "I Can Take It from There", reached the top 5 on the newly-separated Country Airplay chart but only top 20 on the combined-metric Hot Country Songs chart.
Young's fourth album, A.M., reached a career-high peak of 3 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart and was also his first album to chart in both Australia and Canada (at 53 and 10, respectively). Three singles were released from the album, which all reached the Top 3 on the Country Airplay chart and the Top 10 on both the Hot Country Songs and the Canada Country airplay chart.
In 2015, Young released his fifth album, I'm Comin' Over, and earned his first number one on the Top Country Albums chart. The record was also Young's fastest record to be certified Gold by RIAA. The record's lead single of the same name reached number one on both the Country Airplay and Canada Country charts. "Think of You", a duet with Cassadee Pope, was Young's first single to feature another artist and also reached number one. His Vince Gill collaboration, "Sober Saturday Night", serves as the album's third single and third consecutive number one single.
