Kenny Chesney scored his 31st No. 1 single as âHere and Nowâ ascended to the top of the Billboard Country Airplay chart this week.
Penned by Craig Wiseman, David Garcia and David Lee Murphy at a writing retreat Kenny set up in Malibu, the tune beckons listeners to live in the present with a chorus that proclaims: âYou and me, ainât it good to be alive / Ainât no better place, ainât no better time / Than here and now.â
âWhen we recorded âHere And Now,â it was this awesome rush that captured the peak moments, finding them in your day, creating them and not just waiting around for them to happen,â says Kenny. âIt was the perfect song as we were all getting ready for another summer of shows. But now, in some ways, this song is even more in the moment because we all have to remember to find joy.â
Kennyâs 31st No. 1 single on the Billboard Country Airplay chart extends his lead atop the all-time list for most chart-toppers, followed by Tim McGraw (29), Blake Shelton (27), Alan Jackson (26) and George Strait (26).
