Kenny Chesney has broken a long-standing tie with George Strait and Tim McGraw to claim the most Top 10 hits in the history of Billboard's Country Airplay chart. The milestone came courtesy of his single "Carry On", the lead track from his forthcoming September album Silver Sands Marina, and cements his status as one of the most successful and enduring artists in the genre's history.

"Carry On" had already become Chesney's 100th entry on the Country Airplay chart, a tally he shares with Strait and McGraw, before also becoming his 62nd Top 10 hit, moving him one ahead of the other two artists, who are tied on 61. The achievement follows Chesney being named Billboard's Top Country Artist of the 21st Century, and the article also notes a separate anecdote from singer Greylan James, who credited advice from Chesney as a schoolboy with encouraging him to pursue songwriting.
