Billboard's Ray Waddell sits down with Kenny Chesney in one of the country star's most candid interviews ever.

The star's 'Vivir La Vida,' which he premiered on the Billboard Latin Music Awards on April 25, climbs to the top in just its second week, marking his first No. 1 as a lead act since 2004.

Mickie James releases her debut album, "Somebody's Gonna Pay," this week, and she says getting the disc out is bringing about a full slate of emotions. "The full album is out, it's on iTunes, and we've got a video out on it. I'm excited but also so nervous at the same time. I've definitely been praying about it," she told Billboard.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Can't Hold Us," featuring Ray Dalton, rises 2-1 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the pair's second leader. With prior hit "Thrift Shop," featuring Wanz, having reigned for six nonconsecutive weeks, the act is the first duo to take its first two singles to No. 1 in the Hot 100's almost-55-year history.
