Ranking Kenny Chesney's 17 studio albums -- oh, and his two live albums -- isn't easy. There's 12 platinum-certified records in there (including one double-platinum, one triple-platinum and two quadruple-platinum albums), plus five gold-certified albums and 30 No. 1 singles; there should be some sort of formula to figure this out, right?

We're not much for math, but we're pretty good at assessing the impact that Chesney's projects have made on country music over the years, whether it's his very first album or a 2017 live disc recorded in packed-out sports arenas. As Chesney's progressed from skin-tight jeans to sandy flip-flops, his musical style has followed along -- and he's picked up more and more fans.

A new Chesney album will be in contention for the top spot come May 1, 2020: That's the day on which Chesney will release his 18th studio album, Here and Now.
