Aldean is only the second Country act in history to score four consecutive chart – toppers on the all – genre Billboard 200 albums chart with his current album Rearview Town, with six of his previous LPs having achieved Platinum certification or better. His record – breaking eighth studio album includes his current Top 5 and climbing hit “Girl Like You” along with the two back – to – back multi – week chart toppers, “You Make it Easy” and “Drowns The Whiskey.” The path paved by his wide – open sure – footed approach has defined the genre’s 21st century including more than 17 million total album sales, 21 #1 singles and countless recognition from the Grammys, ACMs, CMAs, BBMAs, People’s Choice Awards and more.
