Kenny Chesney has joined the BMI family of songwriters. The superstar has been building a repertoire of hits for more than a decade, leading to his recent twenty-first No. 1 “Somewhere With You.”
His long list of hits includes “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems,” “The Good Stuff,” “I Go Back,” “Don’t Blink,” “There Goes My Life,” “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy,” “Living in Fast Forward,” and “Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven.”
After taking a break from full-scale touring last year, Chesney recently launched his biggest outing to-date with numerous stadium shows on the schedule.
