NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Kenny Chesney won only one of the seven awards he was nominated for at the CMA Awards, but he sure made it count.

Chesney took home his fourth entertainer of the year trophy Wednesday, tying Garth Brooks for the most wins in the category, considered the night’s top honor. He’s now won the award the last three years in a row.

Chesney wasn’t the night’s only big winner. George Straight won single and album of the year, making him the act with the most awards in the history of the Country Music Association Awards, with 22 total.
