9/12/2007 Stephen L. Betts   If overnight sales figures tabulated by StreetPulse continue as indicated for the rest of the week, Kenny Chesney will have notched another No. 1 country album with Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates, although Kanye West’s Graduation seems to have won the Kenny/Kanye/50 Cent battle by scoring the overall top album, wirh 50 Cent trailing behind. We’ll have more official figures later this week, but Kenny shouldn’t be too upset about the whole thing as he currently sits atop the country singles chart this week, this time with Rascal Flatts singing a song he helped write. Kenny says he considered putting "Take Me There" on Just Who I Am…, but admits it just didn't feel right for that project. “Hearing [Rascal Flatts] do it,” says Kenny, “I know why. I wrote it, but it was probably always their song. I think the way Gary, Jay and Joe Don did this song, it's exactly where it was supposed to be."
