Highway Desperado follows his album Macon, Georgia, the album earned Aldean his 27th career-charting #1 single, ”Trouble With A Heartbreak,” as well as a Billboard Music Award nomination for “Top Country Song” and awards from ACM, CMT, iHeart, and a GRAMMY nomination for “If I Didn’t Love You” with Carrie Underwood. Since making his chart debut in 2005, the Georgia native has earned the most Top 10 songs on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart – more than any other artist – his songs of small-town living, love and loss have resonated with a loyal fanbase.
