“Try That in a Small Town” tops the country radio charts
Multi-platinum entertainer Jason Aldean’s “Try That In A Small Town” has topped the Country Aircheck/Mediabase charts, earning the Georgia native his 28th career No. 1. The chart-topping single, which hit the Billboard Hot 100 chart earlier this year following controversy over the lyrics and its video, marks the first No. 1 off of his highly-anticipated 11th studio album, Highway Desperado, out November 3rd.
Highway Desperado features 14 total tracks and in addition to “Try That In a Small Town” includes “Whiskey Drink,” written by Kurt Allison, Jonathan Edwards, Tully Kennedy, and John Morgan, as well as “Tough Crowd,” and “Let Your Boys Be Country.” The album also features three tracks co-written by Aldean, including the album’s title track. The ACM Artist of the Decade entertainer first introduced new music from the album in May with the release of the fan-appreciation anthem, “Tough Crowd” at this year’s ACM Awards, where the three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year winner was again an Entertainer of the Year nominee.
The album marks the first new music since Aldean’s 10th studio project, the double album Macon, Georgia. The album earned Aldean his 27th career-charting No. 1 single, “Trouble With A Heartbreak,” as well as a Billboard Music Award nomination for “Top Country Song” and awards from ACM, CMT, iHeart, and a Grammy nomination for “If I Didn’t Love You” with Carrie Underwood. Since making his chart debut in 2005, the Georgia native has earned the most Top 10 songs on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart – more than any other artist. His current tour of the same name continues this evening in Jacksonville, Florida before heading to Orange Beach, Alabama.
