By the Numbers
Cosmic Hallelujah keeps Kenny Chesney's writing to a couple of tracks: he co-wrote 'Noise' and 'Coach,' the latter with Casey Beathard, while a deep roster of modern Nashville writers handled the rest. The Pink duet 'Setting the World on Fire,' written by Ross Copperman, Matt Jenkins, and Josh Osborne, became the album's biggest single without a Chesney credit, the usual shape of his catalog.
Cosmic Hallelujah is the sixteenth studio album by Kenny Chesney, released in October 2016. It led with 'Noise,' a commentary on modern information overload that Chesney co-wrote, and the Pink duet 'Setting the World on Fire,' which topped the country airplay chart. Chesney has writing credits on two tracks, 'Noise' and 'Coach,' while the rest of the album drew on Nashville writers including Ross Copperman, Josh Osborne, and Shane McAnally. The album reached number one on Top Country Albums and continued his move toward a more contemporary, themed style of country in the mid-2010s.
