Jason Aldean celebrated the platinum certification of his fourth studio album My Kinda Party with an event at Nashville’s Terrazzo on Tuesday (3/1). This is his third Platinum platter, and it got its award in just 11 weeks.
The 15-track disc brings the country rocker to five million total albums sold since his debut five years ago.
Broken Bow Records CEO/President Benny Brown surprised Aldean with keys to a new pickup truck in celebration of the event. Plaques were presented to all the reporting radio stations who play Aldean’s songs.
Since his latest single, “Don’t You Wanna Stay” (w/Kelly Clarkson) hit No. 1 on Aldean’s birthday (2/28/77), revelers sang “Happy Birthday” to him.
He was Billboard’s Top Male Artist of 2010 and has two ACM nominations, Male Vocalist and Entertainer.
