Country artist Jason Aldean tops music chart, marking historic domination by country musicians.
Jason Aldean’s New Song Tops Billboard Hot 100 Chart
Jason Aldean has made history with his latest song, “Try that in a Small Town,” which has claimed the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. What’s even more remarkable is that two other country artists have also secured spots in the top three, marking the first time ever that country stars have dominated the chart.
The 46-year-old country singer released the song in May, but it wasn’t until the music video dropped earlier this month that it gained significant attention and propelled it up the chart. According to Billboard magazine, the video sparked controversy, leading to a surge in streams and ultimately securing the number one position.
Country Music Dominates the Chart
Joining Aldean at the top of the chart is country singer Morgan Wallen with his song ”Last Night” at number two, followed by Luke Combs’ cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” in third place. This unprecedented achievement marks the first time in the history of the all-genre music chart that country music has claimed the top three spots in a single week, dating back to August 1958.
Amid the backlash against his song, Aldean took to Twitter to express his gratitude to his 3.8 million followers for their support. He shared a clip from one of his recent shows where he addressed a fan’s question about performing the controversial song. The tweet has since gone viral, garnering 1.8 million views.

Aldean’s response to the controversy has only fueled the song’s success. Following the removal of the music video by CMT, the ballad soared to the top of the all-genre iTunes chart, and streams of the song increased by a staggering 999%, as reported by Fox News.
This achievement adds to Aldean’s impressive career, as he previously reached number one on the Hot 100 chart in 2005 with his song “Hicktown.” The country star continues to make waves in the music industry, proving that his talent and dedicated fanbase are a force to be reckoned with.
