There won’t be many in the world who would argue that Jason Aldean’s not a country music superstar. 

He moved up to Nashville at age 21, and after signing and being dropped by a couple of agencies, he got picked up by Broken Bow Records, launching his debut single and album in 2005. 

From there the rest is history – 30 number 1 country singles, almost 20 billion streams, 20 million albums sold, multiple platinum records, as well as being named ACM’s Artist of the Decade, among other things. 

It’s all culminated in his ‘Full Throttle Tour’ going international, and Aldean will be making his way to our shores early next year. 

He told Mike Hosking the music industry is a tough business to break into. 

“We’ve been around for twenty years, so it’s been a good ride, but it’s definitely a tough business,” Aldean said. 

“Not for the faint of heart, for sure.”
