Why Some Fans Think Politics Hurt Jason Aldean's Chances on Billboard's List

USASun Nov 24 2024
Jason Aldean, a well-known name in country music, didn't make it onto Billboard's "100 Greatest Country Artists of All Time" list. His wife, Brittany Aldean, thinks politics might be the reason behind this snub. She took to social media to express her thoughts, suggesting that Billboard's inclination towards "wokeness" outweighed Aldean's impressive record of 20 million album sales and 28 number one hits. Brittany noted that standing up for their beliefs has been a challenging journey. Aldean and his wife have openly supported Donald Trump, which might have caused some tension in the music industry. Even some of Aldean's bandmates hinted at political influences in the decision. Despite the setback, they all seem to agree that this experience has given them even more drive to continue doing what they love.
