Over 20 years ago, country superstar Kenny Chesney released his first album to the public, and since then has had one of the most successful record deals of all time: 19 albums with an ever-changing style of music.

Now, Chesney has added his 20^th album to the list, called “Cosmic Hallelujah.” The album was released on October 28, and because of the name attached, the record was almost an instant hit.

A quick overview of Kenny Chesney’s style before we go on. Kenny does a majority of guitar for his songs himself, so most songs will lead in with a guitar riff or solo. Along with that, most of his hit songs have a lot to do with vacations, summer themes, and memories. He feels that “the more life you live, the more ups and downs you deal with on a day-to-day basis. Like everyone else, I internalize that. And now I’m at a spot where all that stuff I took in can come out on a record.”

“Cosmic Hallelujah” almost didn’t have that name applied to it. Kenny postponed the album to change the name and record one more song he thought would fit the album.

The album was led by the single ‘Noise,’ released earlier this year. The song gained enough momentum to let the Chesney fans know at something big was brewing in the mix. The fans would not be disappointed.

Come July 28 of this past year, the last single before the album came out was released and set the tone for the new album. The song ‘Setting the World on Fire’ took everything fans loved about Kenny Chesney, and put it in one song.

‘Setting the World on Fire’ was an almost instant hit, and climbed to the top of the charts in less than a week. It had a much different tone from most of Kenny’s other hits, and included something very surprising: a feature with pop icon P!nk, who sings the chorus. One would have thought the two worlds wouldn’t mix very well, but it came out surprisingly well. As of this week, the song rests pretty high up not just on the country music chart, but on the pop song chart as well.

Along with those two big songs, there are some others that seem to be catching on rather well with the audience: ‘Trip Around the Sun’ is a summer themed song that Kenny has always included with his albums, as the fans seem to like those the most. ‘Coach’ is thought to be a “sequel” to a song Kenny wrote a few years ago called ‘Boys of Fall,’ where it was about a small town football team and the bonds the team shared. And to wrap it up is ‘Bar at the End of the World,’ which is more dedicated to his fan base of the No Shoes, No Shirt nation. The upbeat rhythm and beach like theme is only bound to get more popular as the summer draws closer.
