Aldean burns up the charts

Thursday, July 31, 2014 – Jason Aldean called his new single "Burnin' It Down," but, in fact, he burned up the charts with the song. "Burnin' It Down' catapulted from 42 to the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the week ending Aug. 9. Aldean, whose single was only out two weeks, took over from Florida Georgia Line's "Dirt," which has only been out for four weeks. Brantley Gilbert topped the albums chart with "Just As I Am."

"Dirt" fell to second on the songs chart. Kenny Chesney was third with "American Kids," one ahead of Dierks Bentley's "Drunk on a Plane." Lee Brice was fifth with "I Don't Dance." Sam Hunt scored his first top 10 with "Leave the Night On" at 10, up 2.

Luke Bryan was at 15 with "Roller Coaster," up 4. Frankie Ballard also was up 4, to 18, with "Sunshine & Whiskey." The Swon Brothers closed out the top 25 with "Later On," up 1.

Miranda Lambert was second on the albums chart with "Platinum," Bryan third with "Crash My Party," Florida Georgia Line fourth with "Here's to the Good Times" and "NOW That's What I Call Country: Volume 7" fifth. Last week's number one, "Based on a True Story..." from Blake Shelton, fell all the way to ninth.

Aldean was at 14 with "Night Train," up 4. Tennessee Ernie Ford was at 19 with "Amazing Grace: 14 Treasured Hymns." Texas artist Roger Creager debuted at 20 with "Road Show." Lucy Hale jumped from 29 to 23 with "Road Between." Joe Nichols moved 11 to 25 with "Crickets."

On the Bluegrass Albums chart, Nickel Creek led yet again with "A Dotted Line." Alan Jackson remained second with "The Bluegrass Album." The Isaacs held third with "The Living Years," one ahead of "Timeless Treasures: Bluegrass Gospel" by Jonathan Widger, Sarah Moore and Randy Nichols. The Devil Makes three were fifth with "I'm a Stranger Here," up four.

On the overall top 200, Gilbert was 14th, Lambert 15th, Bryan 19th, FGL 24th and NOW 42nd.

It is a more than a respectable length for a single album. The remainder of the effort is padded with live tracks. The obvious question is why so long? In Adean's case, he said he has always leaned toward having more songs than less. Upon a sit down listen you get ...

CD review - 9 Hollywood may be pushing a broadminded agenda where there are more genders than one can even count, but in Jason Aldean's world, there are only two: tough guys, and the women that love them. There's no confusion it's a guy in the "Camouflage Hat," for example. Also, nothing is said or done without also washing it down with alcohol. The opener,"Tattoos and Tequila," breaks it down into tattoos to remember, and tequila to forget. Within its booze for every ...
Rearview Town
CD review - Rearview Town If you liked Jason Aldean's three previous number one albums, you'll like "Rearview Town." He sticks to the winning formula that has brought him past success. The 15 tracks are mainly juiced up, muscular numbers with scorching guitar. Ironically, amid the torrid tempos and high volume that dominate the collection, the ballads are the standouts, especially with the duet with the Miranda Lambert on "Drowns The Whiskey." Instead of whiskey drowning a memory, the inverse ...
