WASHINGTON, Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Country stalwart is recognized among top all-time digital streaming artists
SoundExchange, the top digital royalty collection and distribution agency for the music industry, announced that country music artist Jason Aldean has received the SoundExchange Hall of Fame Award. The honor recognizes Aldean's stature as one of the most streamed artists in SoundExchange's more than 20-year history and coincides with the recent celebration of his 30th career #1 single.
"Jason Aldean is an honest-to-goodness, American-made country music icon," said Michael Huppe, President and CEO of SoundExchange. "Since landing a chart-topping hit with 'Why' and extending to his latest, 'Whiskey Drink,' he has been consistently growing, reshaping the genre as he has evolved into the passionate, anthemic, voice he is known as today. We are delighted to honor Jason Aldean with the SoundExchange Hall of Fame Award."
"I'm honored to receive the SoundExchange Hall of Fame Award and appreciate all that SoundExchange does to protect and champion the creative community," added Aldean.
Currently on his Full Throttle Tour, the three-time Entertainer of the Year is on the road headlining cities across North America – including his recent stop at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena – before embarking on the Full Throttle international run. In addition to his current U.S. dates, he recently announced upcoming headlining shows in New Zealand – his first headlining dates in the market – as well as his highly-anticipated return to Australia. The Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum entertainer and current reigning ACM Artist of the Decade has more than 20 million albums sold to date and counting. Since his 2005 chart debut, the Georgia native has taken the industry by storm with "songs of small-town living, love and loss" that "have resonated with a loyal fanbase" (Billboard). His 11th studio album, Highway Desperado, garnered Aldean his 30th career #1 single at country radio and his first career chart-topping song on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. He is currently at work on his next album and is slated to release new music from his upcoming project in early Fall 2025.
