‘Catch of the Day’ – Kenny Chesney – “All The Pretty Girls” [AUDIO]
Today we turn our attention to an artist who is the most likely to challenge the top-5 in all time #1 hits on the country chart, needing to hit 38 to catch Charley Pride on the all-time list. This artist has 29 #1's so far, and doesn't show signs of slowing down.
When Kenny Chesney first hit Nashville in 1992, his lyrics and his personality opened doors that many people worked years in Music City just trying to get a chance to knock on. He was introduced to Troy Tomlinson, the head of Opryland Music Group by Clay Bradley, the head of writer relations, who told Tomlinson that Chesney was "a good signer, a good songwriter, but more than anything, you'll like him as a person." After meeting with Chesney and listening to 5 songs from the young artist, Tomlinson understood what Bradley had told him and signed the youngster from Knoxville, TN
Chesney has remained a good songwriter and a good singer, but more importantly, he has remained a good person, and it comes through in his live performances, which is what keeps him on top of the most successful tours lists year after year. A five time ACM and CMA Entertainer of the year, Chesney has continued to produce music that relates to the fans and translates well in concert. Of his 16 world tours, 12 have finished in the top 5 of year end ranking of tours of ALL genres, always ranking in the top 3 country tours. Of Chesney's 17 studio and 3 compilation and 1 live albums, 19 have been certified gold or higher, with only his 1994 debut album
In My Wildest Dreams and his 2008 compilation Super Hits failing to achieve certification.
His most recent release, 2016's Cosmic Hallelujah, just received is gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America, and today, the fourth single from the album is in our spotlight.
