Kenny Chesney has earned his milestone 100th entry on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart as "Carry On" opens at No. 31 on the May 23-dated list.
The song totaled 1.5 million chart-eligible U.S. streams, 10.5 million in radio airplay audience and 2,000 sold May 8-14, according to Luminate.
The track previews Chesney's 21st album, due later this year. He has scored 55 top 10s, including 23 No. 1s. The song also starts at No. 20 on Country Airplay, where it's likewise his 100th appearance.
"When I think about 'American Kids,' 'Young,' 'You and Tequila,' 'When the Sun Goes Down,' all the way back to 'The Tin Man,' it's hearing my life in music," Chesney told Billboard, referencing some of his most beloved hits. "To be told 'Carry On' is my 100th charting single, I feel like this is a life that's not just well-lived, but has so much more great music ahead."
