Country music superstar and reigning ACM Artist of the Decade Jason Aldean has expanded and extended his partnership with BMG in a new global deal beginning with his forthcoming new album to be released November 22.
The new studio album, the ninth of his career and the ninth to be released by BMG label Broken Bow Records is appropriately titled, 9.
Under his previous deal with Broken Bow, the label held rights in the US and Canada.
Under the new deal, BMG will now distribute and market Aldean’s releases worldwide, beginning with the new studio album to be released via Broken Bow Records/BMG. Broken Bow became part of BMG in 2017.
A three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Jason Aldean has scored 23 No.1s.
He is the only country artist in history to top the all-genre Billboard 200 chart four times (in a row, no less), racking up 15 billion streams and more than 18 million albums sales along the way.
His last full-length studio album released by Broken Bow Records/BMG, critically-acclaimed Rearview Town, was released in April 2018.
“It’s good to have them in my corner and I’m looking forward to keeping this thing going – and it’ll be cool if we get to pick up a few new fans overseas along the way.”
