Songoftheday 9/20/22 -I haven't seen you in forever you haven't changed a bit, you didn't think that I'd remember but how could I forget...
"Don't Happen Twice" - Kenny Chesney
from the album Greatest Hits (2000)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #26 (one week)
Weeks in the Top-40: 9
Today's song is from country music singer Kenny Chesney, who's first Greatest Hits album sold over five million copies and had already scored a top-40 crossover hit on Billboard magazine's Hot 100 chart at the end of 2000 with "I Lost It". The second of the three new tracks of the compilation, "Don't Happen Twice", was released as the follow-up. Written by Curtis Lance and Thom McHugh, the song has Kenny running into an old flame, his first, years later. He fondly remembers every "first" thing he did with her, and even though the song doesn't really have a conclusion to how this reunion went, it's a simple nostalgic look at young love that's inoffensive if not essential. The music video is just footage of Kenny in concert, with a couple of fleeting clips with infamous touring partner Tim McGraw...
"Don't Happen Twice" became Chesney's second top-40 crossover hit on the Hot 100 in June of 2001. The song also did better than "I Lost It" on the Country Singles chart, where it spent a week at #1.
A third "new-ish" song on the Greatest Hits set, a remake of his 1994 indie single "The Tin Man", made it to #19 on the Country radio chart, and "bubbled under" the Hot 100 at #107. Kenny will be back to the series many times over.
