Chesney's "You and Tequila" reaches Platinum
The cut is the second million-selling song from Chesney's platinum disc "Hemingway's Whiskey," following Somewhere With You.
Chesney will be busy on the road later this year. The 'Brothers of the Sun' Tour, starring Chesney and Tim McGraw, has sold more than 500,000 tickets. The tour will feature stadium shows on weekend dates at venues across the country, the only cities and venues Chesney will play this year.
you and Tequila was written by Deana Carter and Matraca Berg. "It's thrilling to know that Deana and Matraca's beautiful song has reached so many people," Chesney said, "and the fact that a half-million tickets has already been sold for the 'Brothers of the Sun' Tour makes me wants to get back on the road and give each crowd the best spring break party of their lives."

The loss really belonged to the fans, as the original "Here and Now" record Chesney was supporting was a beauty – from the stirring "Knowing You" to the snarky "Wasted", ...
For many years now, Kenny Chesney has been the number one yacht country artist; one never spotted far from an ocean or without an adult beverage in his hand. However, this album's title track expresses a much deeper perspective on life. "I must've sat on a dozen islands/Watched the sun sink into the sea." Previously, island living was the reason for life. Now, life's purpose is described as much more internal than external. Call it trading that pirate flag for a little more mindfulness. ...
Kenny Chesney's "Song for the Saints" is a step in the right direction for the popular country star.
