"Every Other Weekend" is a duet by American country music artists Reba McEntire and Kenny Chesney, recorded on the former's 2007 album Reba: Duets. The song, written by Skip Ewing and Connie Harrington, portrays a divorced couple with shared custody who must exchange children every other weekend.
Although Chesney is the duet partner on the album version, the official radio edit of the single features Ewing as a duet partner. Both versions have received high praise among critics. [1] [2] [3]
Before the official release of the Ewing version, the Chesney version peaked at #57 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. When the song shipped to radio in February 2008, Billboard credited it to "Reba McEntire with Kenny Chesney or Skip Ewing" for one week before crediting it only to McEntire. (Both versions are counted as the same song when the charts are tabulated.)
