Congratulations to Kenny Chesney, who this week earned the 26th number-one single of his career with “Til It’s Gone,” the second consecutive chart-topper from his album The Big Revival. And while it’s a song that Kenny is looking forward to sharing with fans when he kicks off his new tour beginning in March, Kenny says that “Til It’s Gone” is also very much about right now.

• About “Til It’s Gone” becoming his 26th number-one single, Kenny said in a press release, “It’s hard to believe. All that music… All those songs… And here we are. Twenty-six No. 1 hits is hard to get your head around, but I’m glad it could be this song – because this song is very much from me to the fans.”
• Although the song was written about a traditional male/female relationship, Kenny has said that he sees the lyrics through the eyes of what he wanted to say to his fans when, after a year’s hiatus, he returns to touring — something that he’ll be doing in a big way with the launch of his The Big Revival Tour beginning March 26th in Nashville.
• In response to early ticket demand, Kenny has announced a second Nashville date, March 27th, for a two-night run to kick off the tour at Music City’s Bridgestone Arena. Tickets for both shows will go on sale this Friday, January 23rd. About the additional Nashville date, Kenny said, in part, “When you take a year off and you’re as far into a career as I am, you don’t wanna assume they’re still as hungry for you. But I’ve also always said I never want a real fan not to be able to come to the show, so I’m glad I’m able to do two nights in Nashville.” Kenny also shared, “I’m glad we were able to make it work so everyone who wants to come can! That’s always been the way we’ve tried to do this – and I see no reason to change now.”
• Kenny’s latest album, The Big Revival, features back-to-back number-one singles with “Til It’s Gone” and the GRAMMY®-nominated Best Country Song, “American Kids.”

  Kenny Chesney says that there’s an immediacy of living that’s reflected in his number-one single, “Til It’s Gone.” (:19)
“Well, I think the song ‘Til It’s Gone’ goes straight to the heart of that thread of living in a certain moment. It doesn’t talk about tomorrow, it doesn’t talk about where we’re going to take our relationship, it doesn’t talk about where each one of us have been. David Lee Murphy, Jimmy Yeary, and Rodney Clawson wrote a song about right now and what I want this right now to be.”
