Jason Goes Gold

Jason Aldean’s third album, Wide Open, has been certified gold in record time.

After only 10 weeks, Wide Open has achieved sales of more than 500,000 units. Jason took 12 weeks to reach that mark with his previous two albums, his self-titled debut and Relentless. Wide Open has produced the No. 1 single “She’s Country” and the current hit, "Big Green Tractor," which has become the fastest-rising record of Jason’s career.
