Jason Aldean’s latest hit, “Try That In A Small Town,” has made its way to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. This achievement marks the first time in the chart’s 65-year history that three country songs have held the top three spots. “Try That In A Small Town” is also Aldean’s first No.1 on the Hot 100. This victory comes after the controversy surrounding the song’s music video, which was pulled from Country Music Television (CMT)’s rotation. Despite the backlash, Aldean’s wife, Brittany, took to Instagram to celebrate his success and throw shade at his critics.
In her Instagram post, Brittany shared a slideshow of photos and videos capturing the joyful celebration that took place at a restaurant with friends and family. Aldean himself took to his Instagram story to share his excitement and show gratitude towards the songwriters, bassist, and producer who played a part in the success of “Try That In A Small Town.” He also reposted a tweet from Chart Data announcing the historic feat of having country artists occupy the top three chart spots for the first time ever.
According to Billboard, “Try That In A Small Town” garnered 30.7 million streams, a 165% increase from the previous week. The song also received 8.8 million radio airplay audience impressions, a 21% increase, and sold 175,000 units. Despite the controversy surrounding the song’s lyrics and music video, Aldean’s fan base has remained strong, propelling the song to the No.1 position on iTunes.
The music video for “Try That In A Small Town” features footage from the 2020 riots, which aligns with the song’s message. While some have accused Aldean’s lyrics of having racial undertones and promoting a “pro-lynching” message, Aldean has vehemently denied these claims. The video was filmed at a Tennessee courthouse that has previously been used as a filming location for various projects, including music videos and movies.
Despite the backlash, Aldean continues to perform the song during his Desperado Highway Tour. He has also taken the opportunity to address the ongoing criticism and defend the song’s message during his concerts. His resilience and determination to stand by his art have drawn comparisons to Boston’s resilience after the 2013 marathon bombings.
