Aldean's third album, Wide Open, established him as a country star during 2009, and the following year's My Kinda Party earned a four-times platinum certification. He steadily worked throughout the Southeast but struggled for years to find a contract in Nashville before finally signing to Broken Bow in 2004.

Hailing from Macon, Georgia, Jason Aldean began building his reputation in earnest after graduating high school. During this time, he cannily adopted some current trends - 'Burnin' It Down,' the double-platinum hit from 2014, incorporated R&B rhythms - as he quietly emphasized his softer side, one that was showcased well on 'If I Didn't Love You,' a duet with Carrie Underwood which was the first hit from his 2021 album Macon. Possessed with a serious swagger and a slightly steely edge, two traits that treated him well on full-throttle rockers like 'She's Country' and 'Crazy Town,' Aldean also had a way with a ballad, and these two gifts helped him become one of the biggest new country stars of the 2000s, racking up hits like 'Big Green Tractor,' 'Dirt Road Anthem,' and 'Take a Little Ride.' Aldean stayed on the top of the charts for the better part of two decades, reaching number one on Billboard's Country Airplay chart nearly every year between 20. Not a traditionalist and not a bro next door, Jason Aldean cut a distinctive figure in modern country in the new millennium.
