Jason Aldean is definitely celebrating these days, with his latest single, "Big Green Tractor" sitting at the top of Billboard's Country Songs charts for a fourth straight week. He is the last artist to have achieved that, since Brad Paisley's "Letter to Me" had a four-week run in February 2008.

"Big Green Tractor" is the second single off Aldean's Wide Open CD, and his third No. 1 song, overall. Wide Open was released last April, and has sold over 500,000 copies, earning a gold certification.

The second reason Aldean is in party mode is that he is the only country music artist to ever take the No. 1 spot on Billboard's all-genre Ringscan chart. "Big Green Tractor" sits on the top of that chart, edging out other acts like The Black Eyed Peas, Jay-Z, Drake, and Mariah Carey. The song has been certified gold by the RIAA for digital sales, making it Aldean's second track from Wide Open to achieve that status.

"This is crazy. The guys I've always looked up to...my heroes...are the ones who are supposed to be sitting up there at the top," said Aldean. "Man, I feel like I'm constantly thanking country radio and the fans, but they truly are a huge part of the reason I'm having such a great year. It motivates me to go out and work harder than I ever have before. The fans and all their energy and support are fueling everything I'm doing right now...it feels incredible!"

Aldean is currently on the road on his headlining "Wide Open Tour," in support of his album of the same name.
