Kenny Chesney‘s latest single “Setting The World On Fire” has given pop/rock singer Pink something she has never had before, a number one country song.

The timing of the ascending to the top of the country music singles charts could not have been better for Kenny. The collaboration with Pink is featured on Kenny’s new album Cosmic Hallelujah that will be released this coming Friday, October 28th. This will be Kenny’s 16th studio album of his career.

The advanced Billboard and Mediabase/Country Aircheck singles charts show “Setting The World On Fire” in the #1 spot for this week.

Pink has scored four number one pop singles during her career as a solo act. So, this makes her fifth number one overall and her first chart topping country song. “Setting The World On Fire” becomes Kenny’s 29th #1 single of his career. You can watch the music video for the song here.

What motivated Kenny to choose Pink to join him on this song? “Pink’s voice holds so many feelings. When I hear her sing, I hear joy, I hear want, a bit of toughness, and a little bit of hurt,” he explains. “To me that’s the mark of a great singer, and a great vocalist… someone that can make you feel all those things at once, and I’ve always really respected her and loved her singing, and I guess it’s because when I hear Pink sing, I truly believe what she’s saying to me.”

Congratulations to Kenny Chesney and Pink on their #1 song “Setting The World On Fire.”
