Kenny Chesney is still making country music history.  His latest single, “Carry On”, just became his 100th song to land on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart.

 

He is now tied for the most of all-time with the one-and-only George Strait.  The rest of the Top Five is Garth Brooks with 93 . . . Tim McGraw with 91 . . . and Alan Jackson with 82.

 

Kenny also holds the record for the most #1s on the Country Airplay chart with 33.

 

This is also his first release on Hey Now Records, which is a label that was launched earlier this year.  And “Carry On” will be the first single on his upcoming 21st album . . . which he says will be out sometime this year.
