BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS AND REACTS TO
ALL-GENRE CATEGORY

Nashville, TN – April 22, 2013 – 2013 ACM Male Vocalist of the Year Jason Aldean swept up three 2013 Billboard Music Awards nominations this morning highlighted by the all-genre Top Male Artist alongside Justin Bieber, Drake, Bruno Mars and Flo Rida. Aldean is also a finalist for Top Country Album, a category he won last year with his Double Platinum album MY KINDA PARTY, as well as Top Country Artist.
“I’m
really proud to be the guy that gets to represent our genre in that
‘Top Male’ category and wave that flag for country music,” said Aldean.
“Our genre is bigger and more diverse than ever, and it’s just cool to
be part of this movement that’s happening right now. I’ve been so
focused on getting the tour going this year and just making certain our
first run of stadiums is everything the fans expect it to be, that this
totally caught me be surprise. Thanks to everyone who has bought a
ticket or downloaded an album…I’ll do my best to represent and make
y’all proud! “
