April 28, 2009 — There's likely never been a song that rocked harder that hit the top of the country chart. Jason Aldean's "She's Country," with its loud-and-proud hard-rock guitar chords backing images of a blue-jeans babe, sits atop the USA Today Mediabase country singles chart this week.
It's the second time Jason's cracked the No. 1 position in his career.
"Man, it's hard work to get up to that No. 1 spot, and I don't take it for granted," Jason says. "I've got a small, but mighty team...from the guys at the label to my crew out on the road. Thanks to them and all my friends at country radio, we'll be celebrating extra hard this week."
He can't do too much celebrating, though, because there's a ton of work on his plate. He' s got TV appearances coming on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "The Bonnie Hunt Show" and "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon," and a slew of concert dates, including a number as the opening act on Keith Urban's Escape Together World Tour. Among those live shows is a just-added concert June 12 at Nashville's Wildhorse Saloon. The same night, Jason plays across the Cumberland River at LP Field during the CMA Music Festival. Others on the bill for that evening include Rodney Atkins, Luke Bryan, Jake Owen, Lady Antebellum and the Zac Brown Band.
