Chesney, the three-time and reigning Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year, and two-time and current Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year, sold more tickets in North America than anyone last year.  He performed in football stadiums, singing the songs that capture the way country fans live their lives, dream their dreams and feel the moments that define them.  He is the only performer who has sold more than 1 million concert tickets for the past six summers consecutively.  His Flip Flop Summer 2007 Tour was the second biggest tour last year only behind legendary rock band The Police and their two-decades-in-the-making Reunion Tour. 


"People don't realize going from arena to amphitheatre to stadium to amphitheatre keeps you on your game," laughs Chesney.   The easy-going singer/songwriter enjoyed 13 weeks at No. 1 on the Country Singles chart as an artist and an additional three weeks as a writer.
