Aldean receives RIAA honor

Monday, August 4, 2014 – The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) recognized Jason Aldean as the Top Male Country Artist in the history of RIAA's Digital Gold & Platinum Awards. Aldean has tallied more than 21.5 million cumulative RIAA Digital Single Certifications counting song downloads and on-demand streams.

"On behalf of myself and my RIAA colleagues, we are delighted to recognize Jason Aldean for this prestigious honor," said RIAA Chairman and CEO Cary Sherman. "We congratulate Broken Bow Records and Jason on this singular achievement and look forward to many more years of great country music to come."

"This is such a huge honor, and one that everyone on my team earned together," said Aldean. "I love country music, and I wouldn't want to be doing anything else...there was never a Plan B for me. I can't thank the RIAA or country music fans enough for helping us get to this level...it's unbelievable."

Last week, Aldean's new single ,"Burnin' It Down," ranked as the top selling single in the country in all genres and marked his biggest career debut ever at country radio.

The opener,"Tattoos and Tequila," breaks it down into tattoos to remember, and tequila to forget. Within its booze for every ...
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."
