Kenny Chesney has extended his own record for the most No. 1s on the Billboard Country Airplay chart with his 33rd chart-topper, “Take Her Home,” which recently landed at No. 1 on the Mediabase chart as well.
“It’s an amazing feeling, hearing the people singing it back to us,” says Chesney. “It reminds you how these songs really do hold pieces of actual lives inside them, how deeply people feel these records; they’re more than hits. But when you get that call, and they tell you it’s No. 1, you realize how many people are seeing themselves on the radio. To me, that’s why I started doing this.”
The hitmaker has also broken his previous attendance records at almost ever stadium on his “Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour.” His performance at Chicago’s Solider Field on Saturday (June 15) saw almost 2,000 more people than his prior best.
“It’s been the most amazing summer,” he notes. “No Shoes Nation has always been this passionate, insane country without borders with people who come together, raise our pirate flag and enjoy life in ways that inspire me. I didn’t know you could have some of the responses we’ve had on this tour, and just when you think it can’t get any louder or more heartfelt, Chicago happens.”
The journey will run through Aug. 25, wrapping with a three-night stand at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
