Trivia / Jason Aldean

• Black Sheep Hit:
  • "Why" is one of his few successes with a ballad.
  • "Don't You Wanna Stay" is a slick Power Ballad that also became his first hit on the AC charts.
  • In addition, his highest charting hit on the Billboard Hot 100 (prior to "Try That in a Small Town") was "Dirt Road Anthem", a country-rap song, which is a very different style from his other songs.
  • "Burnin' It Down" is an R&B love jam, very different from his established style.
• Chart Displacement: "Hicktown" is still one of his most famous songs despite only hitting #10.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: A few days after its release, "Take a Little Ride" had the line "Grab a little Shiner Bock" replaced with "Grab a couple Rocky Tops", as he had just signed an advertising contract with Coors. You might find an occasional station still playing the "Shiner Bock" version, but most online outlets have only the "Rocky Tops" version.
• Missing Episode: Narrowly averted with Relentless. There was a fire in the studio where the masters were held, but it stopped just shy of said masters.
• Referenced by...:
  • "Georgia Peaches" by Lauren Alaina has the line "We love country, everything from Alan Jackson to Aldean".
  • On Season 5 Episode 3 of Battle of the Blades, Canadian hockey player Natalie Spooner and Canadian ice dancer Andrew Poje performed to "You Make It Easy."
  • "My Kind of Party" is mentioned specifically in Maddie & Tae's Deconstructive Parody of early 2010's bro-country, "Girl in a Country Song."

• What Could Have Been: He was signed to Capitol Records in 2001, but never released anything for them.
