Don't Count Out the Country Singer
Somebody's feeling a bit left out. As dueling rappers Kanye West and 50 Cent count down the days to the 9/11 release of their new albums, Kenny Chesney would like the world to know that he's in the game, too.
''It's funny how with every record that comes out, we're aware of the urban [competition], and none of those acts acknowledge that I exist, until I have that No. 1 debut on the Top 200," Chesney told "Entertainment Weekly."
Chesney's last four studio albums have debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, so the guy's not dreaming.
