Kenny Chesney has a bunch of brand new hardware just in time for the holidays with a slew of new RIAA certifications, bringing his total to 43 million over the course of his career.

Starting with the 2004 CMA Album of the Year When The Sun Goes Down being certified 5x Platinum and “American Kids” bypassing 4x Platinum, the east Tennessee superstar picks up 28 certifications for his catalogues. With The Big Revival mining Platinum status, both Hemingway’s Whiskey and Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates are now officially 2x Platinum as well.

“El Cerrito Place” and “Live A Little,” are two of seven songs certified Gold, “Don’t Happen Twice” and “You Had Me From Hello” have gone Gold, and “You Had Me From Hello” simultaneously earns Platinum status alongside “How Forever Feels,” while “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy” reaches 2x Platinum.

Chesney also has a pair of 3x Platinum certifications with his Grace Potter duet “You And Tequila,” and the surging “Somewhere With You.” His duets with P!nk (“Setting the World On Fire”) and Uncle Kracker (the six week No. 1, “When The Sun Goes Down”) also join “There Goes My Life,” “Don’t Blink” and “Summertime” as 2x Platinum certified classics.

Rounding out the list, Chesney’s other Platinum singles are “You Save Me,” “Anything But Mine,” “All The Pretty Girls,” “Save It For A Rainy Day,” “Never Wanted Nothing More” and the ACM Single of the Year “The Good Stuff,” for a total of 33 million Platinum and Gold singles and 10 million RIAA-certified albums.
