Kenny Chesney Scores 20 New Single Certifications At Once

Kenny Chesney has been a superstar in the country music world for decades at this point. He has produced more hit songs than most artists can hope for, and throughout the years, the singer-songwriter has moved tens of millions of both albums and songs in the United States.

Recently, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified a massive number of Chesney’s tunes. Some tracks earned their first honors, while others advanced and now rank among his most successful.

Kenny Chesney Scores 20 New RIAA Certifications

20 different songs by Chesney were recently certified by the RIAA, including those that went gold for the first time, as well as several that advanced to multi-platinum status. The music industry organization certified that another 16 million singles by the country artist have been shifted in the U.S. — a sum that includes both pure purchases and streaming activity, which the RIAA adopted into its methodology some years ago.

Three tracks snag their first gold certifications, as “Bar at the End of the World,” “Til It’s Gone,” and “I Lost It” have all moved half a million units each.

Several Songs Hit Platinum or Multi-Platinum Status

Five tunes jumped from gold to platinum status, which signifies another 500,000 copies moved. “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright,” “Knowing You,” “She’s Got It All,” “Me and You,” and “Young” all double their total number of copies shifted in the country.

Another dozen compositions added new platinum certifications, as all of them had previously reached that milestone, which is reached when a tune or album moves one million equivalent units. Five tracks doubled from platinum to double platinum. An equal number pushed from double platinum to triple platinum. One song advanced from triple platinum to quadruple platinum, while “American Kids” is now a five-times platinum smash in the U.S.

RIAA Honors Two Kenny Chesney Albums

Just two of Chesney’s albums also received new certifications from the RIAA. The Road and the Radio is now a quadruple platinum success, while No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems advances from four-times platinum to five-times platinum, a huge win for any country artist.
