It's one thing to not come in first. It's another to come in third.
Kanye West - 957,000 50 Cent - 691,000 Kenny Chesney - 387,000 Can't wait to read that press release....
So now it's up to Garth. November 6th.
Game. On.

I cannot wait to read how this is spun. Garth would have beaten both of them.
Kenny did like 3 appearances. How does he expect to sell doing 3 appearances, all in the same day. Garth would have been all over the place. No one promoted their albums like Garth when he was active, nor have they since.
Maybe people are just tired of the same old fare from Kenny.
In my opinion, his best songs have been songs like 'The Good Stuff' and 'A Lot Of Things Different' but there is only so many feel-good beach/ocean summer anthems that I can take. Change the record Kenny and stop trying to be Jimmy Buffett.
I really don't think there's much Buffet-esque stuff on this album. I was thinking the problem might have been that there wasn't enough, and that's why people didn't want it. I think his crowd is more into the beach than demons and strippers.
Although I've always called this new single "The Good Stuff 2007"
I wouldn't count out Rascal Flatts and Carrie Underwood's album either. I think they will both have huge sales. maybe not as big as Kanye's but still huge!
While these last 2 singles from the new album (isn't Never Wanted Nothin' More, or whatever it's called, from the new album too?) aren't Buffet type songs, I still think they're typical Kenny, and sound exactly the same as everything else. Might as well pick up an old album and listen to that. *shrug*

Also, with 2 hit singles, you would have thought he would sell more than 391k. I would have expected 600k.
The Entertainer of the Year should be better than this.
Well quite honestly...here's the problem:
His last four albums debuted at the top of the Billboard 200.
His last four albums premiered on Highway 16 ShortCuts.
This one, did not.
Very poor showing...will also be interested in seeing how they spin this.
That'll teach him to detour off the highway! :p

Wow. Think he'll spin it on "lack of his own songwriting, going in a different direction", blah, blah? I really thought he'd sell more too.

I haven't heard the album to be fair, just going by the last several singles. The new one I like though.
