Twelve Jason Aldean projects have been given the prestigious platinum certification in the eyes of the RIAA, with the iconic My Kinda Party album going platinum 6 times.

For 2010s country, Aldean is nothing short of a staple piece. The 'Crazy Town' songster climbed his way to massive success despite setbacks early on in his career and chased his honky tonk dreams by moving to Nashville at the ripe age of 21. The projects Aldean has contributed to country music during this time would steadily raise him to the standing he has today and provide the foundation for the sound of 2010s country.

My Kinda Party (album)

Aldean's fourth studio album My Kinda Party has reached 6x platinum status, with 6 million units on the record gained. These units were accumulated through streams both across the U.S. and internationally, and while the record would debut at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 during its first week, and steadily climb charts alike, streams would continue to date.

Releasing the record in 2010, the Georgia native has spent nearly 16 years with the project in the thresholds of themes of love, unapologetic patriotism and pride for his smalltown roots. From the famous duet 'Don't You Wanna Stay' with powerhouse vocalist Kelly Clarkson, to the angst listeners can practically feel coming off of tracks such as 'Church Pew or Bar Stool,' the record provides a smooth contemporary sound with polished beats carrying its listeners through every story Aldean has to tell.

While we would love to credit the entirety of the album with the drive that carried it to its multi-platinum status, it's the standout tracks that mostly did the talking - and earned the star a few of his twelve recent certifications themselves.

My Kinda Party (song)

The cool, tight electric guitar rift the title track of the album opens with immediately sets the tone for the entire record. The 5x platinum song is a party anthem, but when looked at from a broader lense, and tied in with the rest of the record, it's so much more.

'My Kinda Party' brings listeners right back to Aldean's feelings of pride - for his work, his lifestyle, and his upbringing. The track references an ongoing party, mentioning all the things that bring Aldean to his truest element, and indirectly backs the themes of other tracks on the record.

Fly Over States (song)

The 6th track on the My Kinda Party album reached a 4x platinum status, and received massive radio play, becoming a No. 1 country hit during its release time.

'Fly Over States' pulls at themes of national pride from all the right places, while its lyrics suggest taking a deeper look into the often-overlooked beauty of the U.S. In true country music fashion, the song tells an imaginative story with Aldean acting as its narrator. He describes two high-status men on board a flight between often times ego-stroking cities, New York City and Los Angeles. The plane makes its trek over all the states in between, as Aldean sings of their often-unsung beauty.

Tattoos on This Town (song)

The 2x platinum tune feels like a love letter to Aldean's hometown and the people he came up with.

As Aldean recalls specific memories from his youth throughout the song's verses, he sings sentimentally of his upbringing, and how the mark he feels himself and his buddies left on their town, gave the same impact right back to them. It's a song about the memories he made where he grew up, but more importantly, how those memories stay with him today.

Don't You Wanna Stay (with Kelly Clarkson) (song)

The emotional, savory 2x platinum duet with Aldean and Clarkson is a love song that crossed multiple genres, breaking into pop charts and reaching No. 1 on country song charts, all while getting serious radio play.

The duet features powerful vocal range from Clarkson all while Aldean holds a bass in his voice which compliments her throughout. The song relays the yearning to be with the one you love most, as both Clarkson and Aldean portray this intimate feeling through the dynamic ballad.

They Don't Know (Album)

Moving on from his chart-soaring My Kinda Party album and its tracks within, the 2010s country troubadour made various feats with his 2016 They Don't Know album.

Hitting platinum status for the first time with 1 million units reached, Aldean hits his listeners with all the nostalgia through tracks such as 'The Way a Night Should Feel' and sings to the conflicting battles of what the heart wants and what the brain knows it needs through tracks like 'This Plane Don't Go There.'

The 8th studio album from Aldean reached massive success upon release, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, competing against albums of multiple genres - and as if he already didn't do country music a favor by bringing the genre to such a high ranking that year, the record also made history as being the first country album to lead the Billboard 200 in 2016.

Any Ol' Barstool (song)

The twelfth song off of They Don't Know, and this writer's personal favorite, hit a 3x platinum status, bringing the album even greater recognition.

'Any Ol' Barstool' sings empowerment to an individual post break-up and encourages getting back to oneself during heartache. It shines light on the dignity in letting go and putting a strong step forward into continuing one's own life after losing someone from it.

The track reached No. 10 on the Hot Country Songs chart, and peaked at No. 52 on the Billboard Hot 100, claiming a place on the list for 18 weeks in early 2017 - all while reaching status in Canada as well, climbing multiple charts and later being certified Gold by Music Canada with over 40,000 units sold.

Lights Come On (song)

The opening track of They Don't Know is an upbeat song that is not just a party anthem, but a love letter to all things music, live performance, and just flat-out having a great time at concerts.

Told from the perspective of Aldean, who is the performer, the 2x platinum track is also relatable to concert goers and music lovers, which is something we all can certainly appreciate. The track embodies the continuous, euphoric feeling that is a concert experience - which all starts when the lights come on.

Originally recorded by Florida Georgia Line's Tyler Hubbard, the song was passed to Aldean as he cut a similar 'Lights Go Out' (which was supposed to be on the record in the place of 'Lights Come On'), on his last day of studio time. Another Canadian crossover, the song reached No. 3 on both the Canada Country chart and the U.S. Hot Country Songs chart and reached Gold status by the end of the album's release year.

A Little More Summertime (song)

The second track off of They Don't Know cleverly compares the changing of a romantic relationship to the changing of the seasons. Aldean longingly reflects on the summer he had his girl, at the peak of his relationship with her, as he currently stands in a "grey September day" where he is stuck missing her as the warmth of her love in the summer changed to a cold shoulder in the fall.

The first-time platinum song made various feats internationally, climbing to the top of charts in Canada, Italy, the U.K., Australia, and more - as well as making success in the states with 13 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Hicktown (song)

The first three tracks off of Aldean's 2005 self-titled album make up three of his twelve new certifications, with the first track 'Hicktown' reaching a 2x platinum status.

Another anthem of pride, which he pulls off so well, Aldean sings to a way of life and a culture that can only be found in a smalltown, using descriptive imagery that is humorous and fun, but all the while incredibly authentic.

The song debuted at No. 55 on the U.S. country songs chart, and later peaked at No. 10, spending 13 weeks on the list.

Amarillo Sky (song)

The second track off of Aldean's self-titled brought listeners the 3x platinum 'Amarillo Sky.' The song is a token of appreciation for the backbones of American farm work and labor, as Aldean tells a story based on a real-life encounter he had with a famer he met in the Texas panhandle.

The brief conversation struck inspiration so deeply within Aldean that he began scribbling lyrics on the back of receipt paper shortly afterwards, and then with immersive storytelling, Aldean sung true to the spirit of American laborers.

The song debuted at No. 38 on the Billboard Hot Country songs chart, and spent 28 weeks in the top 100, all while holding the No. 4 spot for multiple of those weeks.

Why (song)

The third track on Aldean's self-titled, the pain-inflicting 'Why,' hits listeners with all the feels as Aldean hits himself with some hard questions - the 2x platinum song makes for nearly four minutes of Aldean going through the motions in his head and to his girl, where he repetitively asks himself why he treats her poorly, questions his ability to be good to her, and shows genuine confusion over why he can't get his act together for her.

The heartbreak track peaked at No. 43 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent 20 weeks on the Hot Country Songs chart with the same ranking.
