Jason Aldean Notches 18th Career No. 1 with ‘A Little More Summertime’

Summer may be long behind us now as we head into the winter frost, but Jason Aldean’s warm reminiscent tune, “A Little More Summertime,” has found its way on the top of the charts this week.

The song, which sings of the memories under the hot sunshine by the shore, captured the hearts of radio and fans as it officially became Aldean’s 18th No. 1 hit in his country career. “A Little More Summertime” follows the massive success of his previous album single, “Lights Come On.”

From the start, Aldean was a huge fan of the “Summertime” cut when he was making his most recent release, They Don’t Know, and thought it would be a good fit among his other huge hits.

“The second single, ‘A Little More Summertime,’ was one of the first songs we found for the record,” Aldean told Sounds Like Nashville and other media a few months ago. “To me, I don’t know, there was just something really cool melodically about it that was a little different than some of the things we had in the past. The thing that really grabbed me was the U2 guitar stuff going on right before the chorus. That was the vibe I gave them when we went in to cut the song. I was like, ‘If there’s a vibe we’re going after here, it’s U2. Just think about that while you’re playing it.’”

Next up on Aldean’s single lineup is his track, “Any Ol’ Barstool,” which can also be found on his album. They Don’t Know is currently sold in stores and online.
