With "Living In Fast Forward" scorching the charts -- moving from 22-15 in one week alone -- the double platinum The Road & The Radio's second single moves Kenny Chesney's brand new studio project closer to being his fourth triple platinum release in as many years. His solely-penned, soul-searching Be As You Are: Songs From An Old Blue Chair is closing on double platinum status for 2,000,000 copies sold as well. And given that it's Kenny Chesney, there are a few things you can count on: In a world of $100+ the tickets, The Road & The Radio's will be some of the most affordable in the business; The stage will once again be bigger - allowing the guys to take full advantage of the performance space. There will be more lights! More mobility! More possibility! And, yes, the standing room area that fits into the stage configuration will be returning.

After exploding onto the country music scene with his self-titled debut album and the #1 country radio smash "What Was I Thinkin'?," critics were naming Dierks the new artist of the year. Dierks Bentley debuted at #4 on Billboard's Hot Country Albums chart, and both USA Today and Country Weekly called it the year's best country debut. The album earned him the ACM's Top New Artist award, CMT's Flameworthy Breakthrough Artist Award and he was named Top New Country artist in the 2003 end-of-year issue of Billboard and R&R, Breakout Artist of 2003 by Music Row, and 2005 CMA Horizon Award winner.
