Chris Young Signs With Fletcher Foster's F2 Entertainment Group

Country singer Chris Young has signed with F2 Entertainment Group for management, Billboard reported on 11 November 2026. The company is run by Fletcher Foster, who will guide Young's career from here.

A manager handles the day-to-day planning of an artist's career, from recording schedules to business deals. It is a separate job from a label, the company that releases the music, and from an agency, which finds bookings such as concerts and festival slots.

Young has been busy on the business side this year. Earlier in 2026 he announced that he had signed with United Talent Agency for booking. Now F2 takes on the management role. F2 also counts John Carter Cash and MŌRIAH among its artists.

Young's label home is Black River Entertainment, where he began working in 2024. His first album with the label, I Didn't Come Here To Leave, came out in 2025. Its title track was at No. 26 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart when the report was published. That chart ranks songs by how often radio stations across the United States play them, and it is where Young has the strongest record. He is an 11-time chart-topper on Country Airplay, meaning a song of his has reached No. 1 on that list eleven times.

Foster's own career has moved through some of Nashville's best-known record companies. He has worked at Sony Records Nashville, Arista Records Nashville, MCA, Capitol Records Nashville and Universal South Nashville. Each of those companies has signed and developed country artists over several decades, and Foster's time at them gives him a long view of how the Nashville music business has changed.

For fans, the change in the management team does not alter what Young releases or when. Management deals are about how a career is run behind the scenes. Any new music, tour dates or label announcements would come through Young, his label or his agency, and none has been announced.
