Three-time and reigning ACM "Entertainer Of The Year" Jason Aldean brought together the music industry, friends and family on Tuesday (08/01) to celebrate his 21st career No. One single “Drowns The Whiskey” feat. Miranda Lambert at Nashville's Cambria Hotel.
Aldean kicked off the new year commemorating the second consecutive multi-week chart topper from his record-breaking eighth studio album REARVIEW TOWN (Broken Bow Records) with its writers Josh Thompson, Brandon Kinney and Jeff Middleton.
The track follows the chart-topping hit "You Make It Easy” and precedes his current Top 5 and climbing single, “Girl Like You.” Known as a standout track in 2018 by critics, the CMA nominated song landed on multiple “Best of” lists including Billboard, Rolling Stone, UPROXX and USA Today and earned nominations from the the ACM and CMA Awards. The song marks the first No. One single for both BMI writers Brandon Kinney and Jeff Middleton.
Aldean is only the second Country act in history to score four consecutive chart-toppers on the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart with his current album REARVIEW TOWN, with six of his previous LP's having achieved PLATINUM certification or better.
Congrats Jason!
