When the Sun Goes Down won the 2004 CMA Award for Album of the Year, and Kenny Chesney was named Entertainer of the Year. He was also named Artist of the Year by the AMA in 2004.
In January 2005, Chesney released his album Be as You Are (Songs from an Old Blue Chair), and the Somewhere in the Sun Tour acted as its promotional vehicle.
Ballads make up the majority of the songs on Be as You Are. The RIAA awarded the album a Platinum certification, and both the pop and mainstream country music charts peaked at No. 1 with sales of the album.
In the spring of 2005, Chesney received the prestigious Triple-Crown Award from the Academy of Country Music.
He also won the titles of New Male Vocalist of the Year in 1997, Top Male Vocalist of the Year in 2003, and Entertainer of the Year in 2004. The following year, on May 23, 2006, Chesney received his second Entertainer of the Year award at the Academy of Country Music Awards.
Chesney’s next album, The Road and the Radio, featured five songs and debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 chart. “Living in Fast Forward,” “Summertime,” and “Beer in Mexico” all won the top spot, while “Who You’d Be Today” and “You Save Me” debuted in the Top 5.
Because it translates to great live performances and radio play, Chesney emphasizes the importance of studio expertise.
