Kenny Chesney And Tim McGraw Hit One Million Mark With Summer Tour

Now, it's been revealed just how successful the tour really is: It's sold a cool one million tickets to date!

Chesney is quick to give credit where credit is due for the hottest trek of the year: "I'm so grateful to all of the fans that have made this tour such an amazing success and a nonstop party night after night," he noted. "Being out on the road with Tim has been incredible and we still have a lot of songs left to sing this summer."

Selling a mil on tour is no new ground for Chesney, who has hit that milestone an amazing nine consecutive tours in a row (the previous one being last year's Goin' Coastal tour). He's also doing just fine with his current release, Welcome To The Fishbowl--his latest single off the project, "Come Over," was just certified gold by the RIAA.

The fun (and the summer!) isn't over yet--you can still catch Kenny and Tim on tour, as there's a few dates left. The tour will wrap August 25 in Foxboro, MA.
