This was the first year that fans selected the award, which received a mixed reaction from Chesney.
“This one is really extra special because long before I had a hit record, the fans always came to the shows. I want to thank you guys for voting and for being there for me,” said the singer.
Other winners include Carrie Underwood for “Top Female Vocalist,” Brooks& Dunn for “Top Vocal Duo” while Garth Brooks accepted the first Crystal Milestone Award—honoring sales topping 128 million—making him the biggest-selling solo artist of all time.
Jay Leno, Dick Clark and Billy Joel all appeared via satellite to congratulate Brooks.
