Country superstar Jason Aldean has been rocking the country charts for nearly two decades. But there’s something many fans have started to notice — he really seems to love towns. No, seriously. From “Hicktown” to “Try That in a Small Town,” Aldean has released at least 10 songs with the word town in the title.
So, is this just a fun coincidence, or is Aldean low-key obsessed with towns? Let’s take a walk through his discography to find out.
It All Started With “Hicktown” in 2005
Jason Aldean kicked off his music career in 2005 with a bang. His very first radio single from his self-titled debut album was “Hicktown.” The song quickly became a fan favorite and climbed to No. 10 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
Looking back, it now seems like Aldean was unknowingly starting a pattern that would carry on through most of his career.
Skipping Town (Just Briefly) in 2007
His second album, Relentless (2007), didn’t include any “town” tracks. Maybe Aldean hadn’t yet realized how much he liked using the word. But don’t worry — he found his way back pretty soon.
The Return of ‘Town’ in 2009
With his 2009 album Wide Open, Aldean brought back the town vibes with “Crazy Town,” a high-energy single that climbed to No. 2 on the charts. Whether it was intentional or not, Aldean was once again linking his success to songs about towns.
“Tattoos on This Town” and Beyond
From 2010 onwards, Aldean made it clear that town was a word he loved using. His hit song “Tattoos on This Town” was a part of his My Kinda Party album and became another major hit.
He followed that up with even more town-themed tracks across multiple albums:
2012 – Night Train
“This Nothin’ Town” was the first track on the album, showing that towns were top of mind again.
2014 – Old Boots, New Dirt
The trend continued with “Two Night Town,” a smooth, emotional song that fit perfectly with the album’s theme.
2016 – They Don’t Know
Surprisingly, this album didn’t have a town song. Maybe Aldean wanted to try something new — but not for long.
The ‘Town’ Trend Grows Stronger
2018 – Rearview Town
Jason came back strong in 2018 with Rearview Town. Not only was the word in the album title, but the song “Rearview Town” became a No. 1 hit, proving that fans still loved the town theme.
2019 – Album 9
This album included two town-titled tracks: “Champagne Town” and “Keeping It Small Town,” both keeping the tradition alive.
2021 – Macon / Georgia (Double Album)
“Macon” included “Small Town Small,” co-written by Brantley Gilbert. Meanwhile, “Georgia” gave us a live version of “Rearview Town.”
2023 – Highway Desperado
Last but not least, Aldean dropped the controversial but chart-topping single “Try That in a Small Town.” Despite the drama around it, the song hit No. 1, continuing his tradition of big hits with town in the title.
