About Kenny Chesney

Kenny Chesney—who has sold over 30 million albums to date and is a four-time Country Music Association and four-in-a-row-Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year recipient—had another landmark year in 2010.  This year looks to be even better for the superstar, who stands as the only artist in any genre to sell one million concert tickets for eight consecutive summers.  

In 2010, Hemingway's Whiskey became Chesney's sixth album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, and it yielded his twentieth and twenty-first Number One Country Singles, "The Boys of Fall" and "Somewhere With You." Chesney released his live concert film "Kenny Chesney: Summer In 3D," as well as the "Boys of Fall," his 90-minute ESPN documentary about the lifelong positive impact high school football has on players.

Chesney will launch his Corona Presents Kenny Chesney's "Goin' Coastal" Tour, his biggest tour in five years on March 17 in West Palm Beach, FL. The nearly 60-date North American tour includes eleven shows at NFL stadiums.  Chesney set the records for most sold-out shows ever by an artist at two stadiums: Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., where tickets for his sixth sold-out show were gone in just eight minutes, and Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field stadium, where Chesney will take the stage for his fourth sold-out performance.  Chesney also debuted his new documentary, "The Color Orange: The Condredge Holloway Story" for ESPN's The Year of The Quarterback series.
