Jason Aldean’s “Try That In A Small Town” Hits #1

Jason Aldean’s extremely controversial single “Try That In A Small Town,” the video for which was pulled from CMT after being accused of promoting racialized violence and vigilante justice, has hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It had debuted at #2 upon being released to radio (the single originally came out in May). Three country songs now currently hold the top three Hot 100 spots; it’s the first time that’s happened. After Aldean, Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” is at #2, and Luke Combs’ Tracy Chapman cover “Fast Car” sits at #3. This is Aldean’s first #1.
