Kenny’s Single on a Fast Climb
Kenny Chesney’s new single, “Never Wanted Nothing More,” is racing toward the Top 10 after only two weeks on the charts.
June 21, 2007 – “This one took off so fast, we haven’t even had time to get it worked up [for a live show],” Kenny tells Dial-Global. “I thought people would like it, because no matter where they are in their life, everybody just about is living some part of this song.” The single is the first from Kenny’s upcoming new CD, Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates.

 Anyway, time to celebrate kenny's NEW #1 song! Read Below  Kenny Chesney’s Record #1
“Never Wanted Nothing More” Never Slowed Down… Fastest #1 Yet
Nashville: It leaked 56 hours before it was supposed to be released—and found its way into the Top 40. It hit the Top 10 in three weeks—and the Top 5 in two more. Now, just 7 weeks after its official release date -- 53 days for people who split hairs—Kenny Chesney’s Southern rock/bluegrass hybrid “Never Wanted Nothing More” hits the top of the Country Singles chart without slowing down.
“That thing hit the air, and never looked back,” Chesney laughs. “I mean, everybody knows that something of wanting something so bad you can taste it… whether it’s a truck, a girl or whatever. We’ve all been there—and that moment when you’re closing in, well, there really is nothing like it in this world. I’m just glad to know I’m not the only one to feel that way!”
The song—from bluegrass staple Ronnie Bowman and hard country hitmaster Chris Stapleton—offers a big helping of plucky banjo, serious acoustic guitar and Chesney’s gutsy good ole boy baritone. Like Chesney himself, it’s a slice of the way life, love and longing is beyond the rush-rush.
“Yeah, that song is pretty much everything I grew up on,” says the reigning and three-time Academy of Country Music and two-time and current Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year. “You’ve got your bluegrass running all through it, and your Southern rock underneath… It’s not something you could’ve just come up with, but it’s a pretty tough combination to beat.”
“Never Wanted Nothing More” is also Chesney’s quickest #1. The multiple week chart-toppers “When The Sun Goes Down” and “There Goes My Life” held the quickest banner—taking only nine weeks to scale the charts. With only seven full weeks of airplay, the lead single from the Luttrell, Tennessean’s eagerly anticipated Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates, his first new music in two years, is striking a chord with country music fans across the nation.
Midway through the standing-room-only Flip Flop Summer Tour, presented by Cruzan, Chesney has blazed through four NFL stadiums, a handful of college bars and every major arena in the nation—and this song is already being met with the same kind of response as his biggest hits. And with six million tickets sold over the past five years, that’s an awful lot of fans to have feeling the momentum.
“I know when we get up on that stage, it’s as much a rock show as anything,” Chesney concedes. “But all you gotta do is listen to me sing to know I’m a country artist… and this song goes a long way to make that point. I’m not guessing here, I know my country music… After all, and I think I’ve said this before, where else but country music could you get laid and saved in the same three minutes? But life hits you fast - and that’s everything this song is about.”
Chesney hits Saratoga’s Performing Arts Center before sliding into Holmdel, NJ’s PNC’s Bank Arts Center, then on to Patriots Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts. This marks the third year in a row that the man -- who’s written hits like “Beer in Mexico,” “I Go Back” and “Fall In Love,” as well as “Take Me There,” the lead single from Rascal Flatts’ follow-up to their quadruple Platinum Me and My Gang - has sold the New England Patriots’ football stadium out in less than 15 minutes.
