Jason Aldean Goes Platinum

.
Jason Aldean has earned Platinum certification for sales of one million copies for his fourth studio album My Kinda Party. The 15 track disc becomes Aldean's third career PLATINUM album and brings the country rocker to five million total albums sold since his debut five years ago.
"I just can't say enough about country music fans and the amount of loyalty they have for their favorite artists," said Aldean. "To think that a million people already bought this record is hard for me to get my head around. And five million since I started? No way! I am so grateful to them for giving me the opportunity to play music every night." MY KINDA PARTY opened big in Nov. with an impressive first week moving over 193,000 units and earning the biggest first week debut by a male vocalist in over three years. The album's lead and title track recently earned GOLD certification for digital downloads and took the No. one spot on Mediabase's country chart. Aldean's powerful duet with Kelly Clarkson "Don't You Wanna Stay" follows closely behind, jumping into the Top 15 this week. Both singles also remain in the Top 10 on iTunes' Country Songs Chart.
Aldean will kick off the sold out first weekend of arena dates on his MY KINDA PARTY TOUR this Friday in Little Rock, AR. The 30 city run through May features special guests Eric Church and the JaneDear girls.
