NASHVILLE, TN – July 20, 2015 – Coming off a record-breaking
sold-out weekend on the 2015 BURN IT DOWN TOUR with more than 110,000
fans in attendance, RIAA’s top digital country male artist of all time
Jason Aldean celebrates his 16th No. one single as “Tonight Looks Good
On You” summits both the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase radio
charts this week. This is the 3rd consecutive chart-topper from his
PLATINUM certified album OLD BOOTS, NEW DIRT.
“Being able to look out into a stadium full of people and have them
singing and swaying to this song has been a pretty cool thing the last
two months,” said Aldean. “We’ve never really needed much of an excuse
to throw down backstage or get a little bit rowdy, but I have a feeling
the party might be bigger than usual this weekend in Pasadena.”
Over the weekend, Aldean sold out Chicago’s Amphitheater before two
nights at Target Field in Minneapolis, MN (7/18, 7/19), setting an
impressive attendance record on Saturday with more than 44,000 fans. His
show-stopping set showcased “live vocals that are better than ever” (Star Tribune) and his “confident swagger” (The Times),
and will continue this weekend in Paso Robles, CA (7/24) and Pasadena,
CA (7/25) where he will headline a historic first-ever country concert
at the Rose Bowl.
The three-time and reigning ACM “Male Vocalist of the Year” has
sold more than 10 million albums, with each release being certified
PLATINUM or better. Aldean’s “most ambitious album to date” (Associated Press)
OLD BOOTS NEW DIRT was the first country album released and certified
PLATINUM in 2014. Aldean is in the midst of his “most explosive tour
ever” (Rolling Stone) as his headlining 2015 BURN IT DOWN TOUR continues to be hailed by critics as a “game-changing run” (Billboard). The “absolute juggernaut” (San Jose Mercury News)
has “people turning out in droves to witness the live version of the
man who has been supplying the soundtrack to their lives over the last
decade” (Country Weekly).
