The Only No. 1 Song of Chad Brock, “Yes!”, Turns 18 Today

It seems that most of the songs with gloomy feel are more likely to become major hits for many artists we’ve already featured here on Country Thang Daily. There’s “Still” by Bill Anderson for those who found moving on after a breakup quite difficult. George Jones’ “He Stopped Loving Her Today” didn’t only make one woman cry but the whole world too. Ray Price’s “Heartaches by the Number” counts the anguish felt by the man each time his lover failed to fulfill her promises. Still, there were many songs of this subject that have become notable records and continue to resonate with the audience up to present.

But for the American country music singer Chad Brock, it’s different. In early 2000, he recorded the feel-good song “Yes!” and it became a major hit for him. His charming vocals fused with the song’s cheerful theme resulting in a readily relatable tune. As a matter of fact, the song is celebrating its 18^th anniversary today since it topped the country charts.
