Kenny Chesney’s ‘Silver Sands Marina’ Crashes Onto Multiple Billboard Charts
The set starts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales, No. 3 on Top Country Albums and No. 7 on the Billboard 200.
Kenny Chesney's debut album for Hey Now Records, Silver Sands Marina, made its mark on multiple Billboard charts on October 10th. The 11-song set, Chesney's 21st studio album, debuted at No. 3 on the Hot Country Songs chart, marking his 23rd top 10 and his highest-charting set since Here and Now in 2020. With 35,000 equivalent album units sold in its first week, the album reached No. 1 on Top Country Albums, Chesney's 13th top spot in the category.
It also entered the Billboard 200 at No. 7, with 30,000 album units contributing to its No. 1 position. The album's lead single, "Carry On," climbed to No. 1 on Country Airplay, extending Chesney's record to 34 chart-toppers. Chesney, who co-produced the album with longtime collaborator Buddy Cannon, said he approached Silver Sands Marina as a complete album, deviating from the streaming-era focus on individual tracks and playlists.
The album features contributions from artists like Colbie Caillat, Lily Meola, and Megan Moroney, alongside writing credits from Jessi Alexander, Matraca Berg, Jessie Jo Dillon, and the late Brett James.
