17 Years Ago Today: Jason Aldean Scores His First No. 1 Hit
2023/05/28

Jason Aldean's first No. 1 hit was "Why," which debuted on the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart on May 27, 2006. The mid-tempo ballad was a stark contrast to his high-energy debut single, "Hicktown." Written by Rodney Clawson, Vicky McGehee, and John Rich from Big & Rich, "Why" finds an introspective Aldean questioning why he treats his love poorly and fails to express his true feelings for her. The song was followed by another hit, "Amarillo Sky," and launched Aldean's career as one of the biggest headliners in country music. Aldean's spectacular beach house in Florida features five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a private beach.
