<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jason-aldean" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jason Aldean</a>&#8216;s new song &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1_RKu-ESCY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Try that in a small Town</a>&#8221; landed in the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, followed by two other country artists, marking the first time ever that the top 3 spots on the chart are all occupied by country stars.</p>
<p>The 46-year-old country singer&#8217;s song hit the airwaves in May but it wasn&#8217;t until he released the music video for it earlier this month that it drew a backlash and sent streams skyrocketing and allowing the song to shoot up the chart, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/jason-aldean-try-that-in-a-small-town-number-one-hot-100-country-hits-top-three-1235382220/?tum_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Billboard</a> magazine noted.</p>
<p>While Aldean has enjoyed the top spot, country singer Morgan Wallen&#8217;s &#8220;Last Night&#8221; sits in the number two, followed by country artists Luke Combs&#8217; cover of Tracy Chapman&#8217;s &#8220;Fast Car&#8221; in third place. This marks the first time ever in the history of the all-genre music chart that country music has scored the top three spots in a single week, dating back to the start of the chart in August 1958, the outlet noted.</p>
<p>The country singer recently went viral after he took to Twitter and wrote to his 3.8 million followers thanking them for support amid the backlash against the song.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Thank u guys. Ready to see u back out there this weekend! 🇺🇸🤘🏼 <a href="https://t.co/qtH8yUdpLy">pic.twitter.com/qtH8yUdpLy</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Jason Aldean (@Jason_Aldean) <a href="https://twitter.com/Jason_Aldean/status/1683585840159551489?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 24, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Aldean&#8217;s post included a clip from one of his shows over the weekend in which he addressed a fan who asked if he would be singing the song. At the time of this publication, the post has been viewed 1.8 million times.</p>
<p>&#8220;So, somebody asked me, &#8216;Hey man, do you think you&#8217;re going to play this song tonight?'&#8221; Aldean told the crowd.</p>
<p>&#8220;The answer was simple,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The people have spoken, and you guys spoke very, very loudly this week.&#8221;</p>
<p>The comments stem from headlines about the &#8220;Dirt Road Anthem&#8221; hitmaker&#8217;s music video for the song that came out on July 14, which critics claimed was &#8220;racist&#8221; and &#8220;pro-lynching.&#8221;</p>
<p>Following the backlash, CMT pulled the singer&#8217;s music video and has yet to respond as to why. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jason-aldean-responds-to-backlash-over-new-music-video-that-slams-leftist-policies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aldean hit back</a> against the criticism, calling it &#8220;meritless&#8221; and &#8220;dangerous.&#8221;</p>
<p>After the song was pulled and Aldean responded, the ballad ended up <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/country/jason-aldean-try-that-in-a-small-town-video-pulled-cmt-1235373842/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shooting</a> to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jason-aldeans-try-that-in-a-small-town-shoots-to-number-one-amid-backlash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">top</a> of the all-genre iTunes chart, and streams of the song have increased by 999%, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/jason-aldean-thanks-fans-support-after-small-town-backlash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> noted.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Dirt Road Anthem&#8221; hitmaker scored his first number one on the Hot 100 chart back in 2005 with his 40th entry on the chart, &#8220;Hicktown,&#8221; Billboard noted.</p>
