Aldean has cemented his “Country superstar status” (Variety), with 30 No. 1 hits at Country radio, nearly 20 billion streams, and over 20 million albums sold. His chart-topping catalogue spans nearly two decades, including hits like “Dirt Road Anthem,” “Don’t You Wanna Stay,” “Fly Over States,” “She’s Country,” “Big Green Tractor,” “Amarillo Sky,” and his latest No. 1, “Whiskey Drink.”

Jason Aldean
ACM Artist of the Decade and three-time Entertainer of the Year Jason Aldean has firmly established himself as a country music powerhouse, with 30 No. 1 hits, more than 18 billion streams, and over 20 million albums sold. Since his debut in 2005, Aldean has become known for his signature blend of rock and country, delivering chart-topping hits like “Dirt Road Anthem,” “She’s Country,” “Fly Over States,” “Big Green Tractor,” and “Don’t You Wanna Stay.” He holds the record for the most Top 10 songs on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart since his debut.
In 2023, Aldean released his 11th studio album Highway Desperado, featuring his first Hot 100 No. 1, “Try That In A Small Town,” as well as fan favourites “Let Your Boys Be Country” and “Whiskey Drink.” The GRAMMY-nominated artist is currently back in the studio working on new music, with more to come in 2025.
SUPPORT
Corey Kent
Corey Kent has emerged as one of country music’s most compelling new voices. Kent rose from heartland roots to earn a Triple-Platinum No. 1 hit with “Wild As Her” and surpass one billion career streams. After losing his first publishing deal during the pandemic, Kent returned to Texas and worked on a paving crew while playing honky-tonks and dancehalls, never giving up on music.
His underdog spirit has defined his rise, with follow-up single “Something’s Gonna Kill Me” going Gold despite limited radio support. In 2023, he became the most-played new artist on country radio, toured with Jason Aldean and Ashley McBryde, and earned recognition from CMT and Opry Next Stage. Kent’s latest album Black Bandana champions resilience, balance, and staying true to who you are.
