The Boot rounds up today's country music news from around the web.

Kenny Chesney is launching his own line of rum. The country music superstar, who has been very vocal about his love for island life and a great cocktail, created Blue Chair Rum with a master blender from one of the Caribbean's oldest distilleries. "Anyone who knows me knows I've drunk a lot of rum in a lot of places," Kenny explains. "And the more you drink, the more you know what you wish you could have. I finally decided there was no reason not to ... All I had to do was decide once we started tasting what that flavor that truly felt like the end of the day in the islands was." The rum, which will be available in May, comes in Premium White, Coconut, and Coconut Spiced.

Luke Bryan is king of the charts again. The Georgia native's latest album, Spring Break...Here to Party, has secured the No. 1 spot for the second week in a row on the country albums chart, and also lands at No. 3 on Billboard's all-genre chart. "We're proud that we started a little idea and that it's grown into something," he says. "We just felt that it was time to put a physical CD together that people can go purchase in all kinds of all environments."
