Kenny Chesney has left little doubt after almost two decades that he's here to stay as a country music superstar. Even though his debut album from Capricorn Records, "In My Wildest Dreams" was released to little fanfare, Kenny had some success from the albums and has gone on to release twelve more albums to wild success.

Eleven of Kenny's first thirteen albums have been certified gold or higher. Although his debut on Capricorn was not the blockbuster that his later albums became, the singles from the album, "The Tin Man" and "Whatever It Takes" did touch the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts, extreme success for an independent release. Unfortunately, Capricorn Records did not continue to publish country music after that year.

Kenny Chesney has released more than thirty top ten country hits since his first release, including a whopping seventeen that peaked at number one. He has won four consecutive Entertainer of the Year American Country Music awards and six awards from the Country Music Association.

Seventeen of Kenny's songs have hit number one, and his 2007 summer tour was the highest grossing country music tour of the year. One hit record is amazing; two is incredible. Seventeen is downright unbelievable.

Kenny Chesney was born in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1968, a region near the Great Smoky Mountains and nestled deep in the heart of country music. He taught himself to play guitar and has had a lifelong love of music, playing bluegrass in college at nearby East Tennessee State University.

Although his first 'official' release was in 1994, he actually recorded a record in 1989 in Virginia which he sold at his various gigs.

Kenny's success has proven again and again that he's truly a country music star, with smash successes in tour ticket sales and a huge list of number one singles that any musician would be proud of.

The 2009 tour includes a show on September 12 in Charleston, South Carolina, at the North Charleston Coliseum. This tour is one of the mega tours of the country music summer season with tour dates all across the United States and Canada.

Kenny Chesney's summer concert tour this year includes a stop in Charleston, SC on September 12 at the North Charleston Coliseum. Kenny's tour is one of the biggest of the summer with venues across the United States and Canada.

Kenny has had enough longevity and success to warrant two greatest hits albums, the first coming in 2000 and the second in 2009. Although he did not enjoy immediate breakout success, he's proven to be one of the biggest country music stars of the last decade.
