Jason Aldean

What sets Aldean apart is not a trophy case but a chart record. Thirty of his roughly 40 singles have reached No. 1 on either Hot Country Songs or Country Airplay, a hit rate that very few country artists of his generation can match. My Kinda Party reaching six-times platinum puts it in rare company among 2010s country albums, and the fact that he has stayed with one label for two decades while maintaining that output is its own kind of achievement. His touring business, with close to 20 billion streams behind it, has made him one of the genre's most reliable stadium draws.
