No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems is the sixth studio album by American country music singer Kenny Chesney. It was released April 23, 2002 via BNA Records. It became Chesney’s first album to reach number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and produced five singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart between 2001 and 2003 with “Young” (number 2), “The Good Stuff” (number one), “A Lot of Things Different” (number 6), “Big Star” (number 2), and the title track (number 2). A live performance music video was made for “Live Those Songs”, which charted at number 60 without being released as a single; the song also became a concert tour opener for Chesney for several years. “On the Coast of Somewhere Beautiful” was also made into a music video, without being released as a single. “The Good Stuff” was the biggest hit of Chesney’s career at the time, not only spending seven weeks at the top of the country charts, but also becoming Billboard’s Number One country single of 2002 according to Billboard Year-End. In 2004, the album was certified quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of over four million copies in the United States.
