Country Music superstar Kenny Chesney is among the top performers nominated for this year's Country Music Association Awards, including the Entertainer of the Year accolade, for which Chesney has a four-year winning streak.

According to CountryStandardTime.com, Chesney said of the nomination: "It's funny, but the more you do this, the more those nominations mean. You realize what it takes to receive an honor like this – especially from your peers who make it happen and know the work and commitment it takes. You've got to be humbled knowing what you do is recognized."

The ever-humble Chesney also stated that "Obviously, I want to win Entertainer," but that he was already assured of his success as an entertainer from the fans that came out to see the Sun City Carnival Tour. "To me, that's the best thing we can do: give the fans music and memories worth remembering."

Chesney also is nominated for Male Vocalist of the Year and Musical Event of the Year for "Down The Road" with Mac McAnally.
